Problem.

Few days ago the light which indicate that my Laguna 2003 1.9dci has min fuel in the tank got on. After I refueled it the light stayed on and on.
The mehanical thing on dash which shows amount of the fuel in tank is way down. Like when tank is empty.
What should I do?
:confused:

The first thing I'd try is make sure you don't have any major fuel leaks underneath the car first,and then put another 20 or more litres into it.This will take a number of possible things out of the equation.:)

If that doesn't work,then you have to suspect the sender unit in the tank.

EDIT;Just one thing,do all the other gauges on the dash work OK?.

Twenty litres of fuel should be more than enough to extinguish the fuel warning light. I suspect the sender unit is broken or the float is stuck. As far as I know modern floats ain't hollow but made from a special foam. TIme to get the back seat out and have a look at the cables on the sender unit and if that is OK - withdraw the sender unit for a look:)
