Thread: D4 fuel tank capacity with empty indication

I got down to 15km in my Golf and thought that was enough. At just over 3.5l/100km, 15km worth is about 500ml of fuel. And if the bowser was accurate, it was spot on, as the fill took 54.5l with a 55l tank.

Then again, the Golf is almost hand luggage type weight compared to a D3/4.

Can the device be removed and returned to the D3 set up?

It can be removed & replaced with a D3 variant.

Cool
Thanks Sneigy

Fitting a Long range tank removes the problem as well.

That is good news. Its the most annoying thing on the 4.

What parts are needed?

My wife has a problem will putting diesel in our D3 its like she wants to see how far she can go untill empty. So far she has run out of fuel 5 times. Last time twice in one week to my frustration as i have to get a jerry can fill it up and then go find her. If you run out dont try to keep starting as it forces out the last drops of fuel then you have to bleed the shrader valve on the fuel system which is on top LHS rear of motor after u have filled it up. If you run out just fill up start engine and drive off. No problems. And one last thing you must put 20Ltr, s or more in otherwise you wont get it to start.

The most annoying thing is the size of the tank,way to small....

Good point!

I'll re-phrase my comment to "the thing that's annoyed me the most so far..."

It hasn't been a problem for me yet on the D4, but I did have a few close calls with the D3.

Cheers,
