I had my car's indiglo gauge change at ****LINE makati...then I noticed that my fuel gauge is not accurate as it was before I changed my indiglo gauge...Since I know the gas consumption of my car I am quite sure that if i travel from point A to point B I know the needle on the fuel gauge will drop to a certain point..but hell no it just moved down a bit..but when I got into the car the fuel needle dropped dramatically..
Just like yesterday..the gauge reads it still has 10% of it then I went to a gas station and add 100 petot of gas since its just a short trip..and I noticed my gauge went up +30%..and the weird thing is I traveled far knowing that an additional 100 petot of gasoline will not take me..
It scares me that if I drive for a long distance my car would just stop in the middle of the road because it does not have gas anymore..
At first I really thought it just need some time to calibrate itself...but after 2 mos its still the same..I want to suck empty the car's tank so i would really know if the reading is accurate..
I need help from you guys..please advise what to do..TIA!

February 4th, 2007 08:20 PM #2you should have brought your car back to where you had your gauges changed the first time you noticed your fuel gauge isn't pointing at the right fuel level.

February 4th, 2007 09:06 PM #4by saying that you changed you indiglo gauge, did you mean you changed the whole instrument panel? if yes, does it have warranty? if it have warranty, then, to avoid additional expenses, you really should return it to your shitty shop.
