Fuel gauge stops working

[TiffsGolfR!]

Hi I have a golf type r 2010 model and sometimes the fuel gauge just stops working. I'll be driving and the fuel gauge will be working and then just stop working but if you turn the car on and off it works again but has its moments. So I could be on refill but not be notified it because the gauge doesn't pick up that the light should come on. Didn't think newer cars did this... something simple but not appreciated haha. Thanks!

Id get it to a dealer, these are capable of logging faults for the level senders in the tank. Most likely your issue

Is it an easy fix tho because if it's something as simple as me being able to fix, I'll do it instead of going to vw and having to pay an arm and a leg for something easy fixed haha

It is unlikely to be a DIY fix; I've not heard it reported before. Take it in to your dealer.

This happened to mine the other day, checked the fuel early in the morning and turned it off. later noticed that the gauge was on empty. Stopped, turned it off and back on and has been ok since then. Will check faults later.

Mine stopped working after the car almost stalled. The fuel and temp gauge both stopped. I turned the car on and off properly and it was fine. I think I accidentally tricked the car into thinking the engine was off!
It was one of those stalls where your amazed that you saved it!
