W124 300 TE
Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Just bought an E300 TE and apparently the fuel guage will go up to full upon fill up and when it gets to half a tank it just stays on half?
Also, every once in a while it will cut out when you off throttle, for example when approaching a junction. Been advised this is possibly the Lambda sensor? It doesn't happen all the time and if you stop, then restart the car, its fine until the next time.
Anyone? cheers
 
No one heard of a W124 with these issues before? Dont really want to be taking it to a main agent if I can help it :(
 
First sympton sounds like fuel tank sender unit getting stuck halfway down.
 
Thankyou, do you know if its an easy fix to replace the sender unit?
