Fuel level
Filled up yesterday, and the fuel level needle only shows 3/4. I always fill to auto stop, or first click.
I made sure, filled some more, and saw the fuel is to the brim. Hope this is not a float / decoder board issue. Disconnected the battery. Will reconnect it tonight and see. Last edited by GeeTee86; 05-20-2013 at 08:12 AM. |

I had this too, filled it up three or so times but stopped at the first click each and every time since and it fixed itself, no issues since and I have 26000km on mine. Hope this helps

I also only fill to 1st click, and my Subaru Forester occasionally does the same thing. I think it's an airlock in the filler pipe which triggers the cutoff. Never happened with my GT86 though.

I can see the fuel, so it's not an air lock

This happens on a lot of newer cars. Don't know why but it always fixes itself, usually on the next start-up. Nothing to worry about.
