Title: Niva fuel gauge problem
Post by: Lincs niva on October 29, 2008, 18:07:21

Ok when i put fuel in my 1700 niva the tanks reads empty no matter what..

Ive checked all connections on the sender unit they seem ok..

Is it possible the float might have dropped of the sender unit..

Cheers Gav

Hi ya Gav,

I recon either that of the float has got stuck somehow. Not much help I know but it's just a thought.

If the connections are ok m8 ..looks like you might have to get the sender unit out  and check the movement of the float with a multimeter and check the resistance does vary depending on the float height..

Sorry autodata doesn't list much useful data on ladas

Glad you got it sorted mate - we need to arrange a catch up soon for a spot of laning.

Did you have any bits left over ? If not then it definately won't work properly... [-o<
