AboutSkip Bollinger Expertise Heretofore, I will NOT answer any mechanical question. I am not qualified and can only offer speculations. You are better served by others that are true Techs. With that being said, please only ask about parts and locating obsolete Auto Parts. Thank you.
I have the ability to locate quite a few mechanical parts for American made vehicles fron the 1900`s to present. Some are OEM and some are aftermarket. This would include engine, brake and chassis parts. Body parts and trim are VERY difficult to find but you may inquire.
If you need assistance in repair, I have illustrated books for major American manufacturers that show some illustrations BEFORE 1974. If needed, I can supply repair manuals for your specific vehicle.
PLEASE REMEBER I'M A PARTS SPECIALIST, NOT A TECH!! Thank you..

Question el
fuel gague not working 2.3e audi coupe any ideas
Answer Stu,
I'm a PARTS PROFESSIONAL, NOT a Tech but will offer this for your pondering. A fuel gauge is nothing more than an OHM meter. There are 3 things that can affect it's operation, the gauge itself, the wire going from the tank sender to the gauge or the tank sender. When the tank gets low on gas, I would drop the tank and disconnect the wire going to the gauge. With the key "ON", I'd gently "strike" the wire to a clean ground (the frame or body of the car). Have someone watch the gauge on the dash, the needle should move. IF it does, replace the tank sender. IF it doesn't, run a wire from the gauge to a ground and "strike" that wire to see if the needle moves. If it does, replace the wire from the sender to the gauge. IF it doesn't, replace the gauge.
I'm sorry but this is the best a Parts Professional can do. I can't think of anything else. I hope this helps. Good luck....
