Having issues with fuel gauge: am fairly confident original 2004/5 age VDO gauge is faulty, but I cannot find a direct identical model no replacement now: newer VDOs have different multipin wiring connectors that appear to need a special tool to wire up, rather than the simple spades on the old one.
If I fit a new Faria or Vetus gauge I need to be confident sender in tank is "Euro" type ie 0 ohms empty - 180 ohms full. The obvious answer is to take sender out of tank and measure but really don't want to mess with this - sealing fittings back into polyethylene tanks is sometimes difficult. Anyone know for sure before I buy a new "Euro" gauge.
