What This Product Does

Functions

• Detects changes in tank fuel level.
• Supplies the signal used by the dashboard fuel gauge.
• Allows the driver to monitor the remaining fuel.

Why Replacement Matters

A defective sender can make the displayed fuel quantity unreliable. Once diagnosis confirms the unit is responsible, replacement addresses the faulty indication. Inspect the wiring, earth connections and gauge first, since faults elsewhere can produce similar behaviour. During tank refurbishment, also examine the sender mounting surface and sealing area.

FAQs

Does an incorrect reading prove the sender has failed?
No. Poor connections, damaged wiring, an inadequate earth or a gauge fault can also affect the display.

Will replacing this unit correct fuel delivery problems?
Its purpose is fuel-level indication. Starting or running faults require separate diagnosis.

Is a sealing gasket supplied?
Yes. The sender includes a gasket; inspect the mating surface when fitting it.

What should be checked before selecting it?
Confirm the T6 application, production dates, supplied references and bottom-mounted sender arrangement against the vehicle.
