My insight was lightly crashed before i bought it. The fuel gauge doesn't work (stays on empty or close to empty, even if its full). I heard that this is most likely due to the sending unit being damaged. I went to the dealer and they said that I would have to get the whole fuel pump for $200. I doubt it. Also, do any of you know the exact procedure to change the unit? I saw a thread a while ago but i can't find it. Thanks.

Here's the most recent link which references an older.

The sender is available seperately. But you do have to R&R the pump for replacement


You can try a parts look-up for yourself here:

The proceedure is somewhat involved and not a newbie task. You'll need the experience, correct tools and the Service Manual, sorry.

HTH!

p.s. Please don't "spam" the forum with the same (or effectively so) question. Your post in the other sending unit thread has been deleted. And it was a 6 month old thread too.

i have the service manual and probably more tools than some small mechanic shops. i also have plenty of experience with "regular" cars, hence i was asking the procedure because i saw it here a few months ago and now it seems like it was deleted or something. my whole IMA compartment is disassembled and i wanted to change this part before i wasted my time screwing everything back together.

Well now I'm totally confused :?

If you've got the "book" what's the question :?:

Since you've got the SM try p.g.11-134 for the procedure. AFAI remember the post was one of mine. I didn't post the procedure merely my experience and an outline. The SM would be required if your going to attempt the job.
