Hey everyone,
I hope and pray this is the LAST TIME in a LONG TIME I am asking for help with my car. I have a 2014 VW Passat TDI SEL. My car is a salvaged title that sustained very minor frontal damage (broken tabs on headlights, cracked bumper and plastics, radiator was clipped just enough to warrant replacement. Engine, transmission, frame, etc were unaffected. Took me a mere 3 weeks to disassemble, order replacement parts, and reassemble myself in my garage.
Unfortunately, the battery was bad. I attempted to jump start the car but to no avail. Battery was replaced. Only electric issues I had/ have: amplifier was replaced, speakers work excellent now, trunk release switch was replaced on driver door, and the sensor for "hood open" seems to not work (which ill replace later), and the airbag passenger seat module was replaced and coded (as per my last post). The one issue with the vehicle that I cant seem to figure out is my fuel gauge. When I fill the car to FULL, it doesnt reach full. Stops about 90% of the way there. After reading some posts online, I opted to replace the fuel sender unit. Got a genuine one from my VW dealer and installed it. Initially, the issue was solved. Appoximately 5 ignition cycles later (and only 5 miles on the ODO since fill up, the need dropped to 85%. Refueling the vehicle will not bring it back to full.
I found other threads that speak of recalibration (draining tank, filling 2.5L, calibrating reserve under INSTRUMENTS, ADAPTATION, and calibrating fuel gauge. However, before I do this, I want to make sure this will indeed fix the issue (if anyone has experience with this). I got the car up on stands and checked wiring integrity, found nothing. I only got 1 code from the fuel sender in VCDS which read HIGH RESISTANCE, but this was around the time I swapped the 2 out. I have no idea if the code was from the new one or old one. Like an idiot I didnt think to check first or disconnect the battery.
Dealer told this morning that recalibration should not be necessary and that I should give it some time and drive it around to let it "settle in" but I am having my doubts.
My thoughts at the moment are:
1) replacement fuel sender could be faulty
2) replacement sender could be inside the tank incorrectly? (points approximately NorthWest inside the tank, as i found the old sender in this position).
3) replacement sender needs to be calibrated
4) gauge cluster could be bad after battery died and subsequent attempts to jump?
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!!
Here is a full scan done this morning for reference:
