Audi 4000 fuel level sending unit

[Ti Kan]

Thanks Wylie, the pics came through for me because you had me in direct mail as well as the listserv.  I guess I’ll have a look to see if mine is fixable. At the very least I’ll need the o-ring for it, but that seems to be readily available, just a bit pricey for what it is.

You can pull it from the tank fairly easily to see what the issue is. It's almost, if not the same as the B3 sedan tank/unit and it just twists out. May need a little tap with a screwdriver to help it along. Mine was totally rusted and non functional but a vinegar bath completely solved that problem. Worked fine until the float came off the arm and now its reading empty again. I've yet to go in after it but it's on my list.
