if i came across this problem i have always turned it clockwise to turn the float away from the side of the tank , however in recent years volvo have suggested turning it clockwise to clear the pipes ! turning it one way or the other seems to stop the problem , but it is easy to remove if you want to investigate yourself , but you have to unclip the pipes from the bottom of the sender to withdraw teh sender . and thoroughly clean the rubber O seal and its seat from grit otherwise the sender will leak ..

Thanks for your help. It may be a week or two before I get chance to investigate. |

Hi Clan I've been suffering intermittent failure of my (S60R) fuel gauge for a while now. I tried to give it a wiggle at the weekend, do I need the special tool to do this? Can't see what else would do the trick. Local specialist says replace both senders, I'm being quoted £440 odd parts cost, would I be able to replace the faulty parts myself, I'm pretty handy, but worried I might be putting an airlock into the tank. many thanks in advance! nick

regarding checking which sender is faulty can only be done by removing each one and lifting it up and down whilst you watch an ohm meter connected across it . Before pulling out the main right hand unit after disconnecting the left hand sender , attach a long string so that you are able to pull the transfer pipe back over from the right to the left side when refitting .

I assume he meant a standard meter set to resistance instead of voltage
for example this or higher quality depending on your budget with the dial turned to the bottom left green section Last edited by stuart bowes; Oct 15th, 2021 at 14:33. |
