Well the estimation seems to affect even stock ECU cars, the issue is just more pronounced when running bigger injectors. Originally Posted by BLKMGK

C4, C4S or TT cars use a "saddle bag" gas tank and the sensor is only on one side. So one side of the tank is "estimated" on the fuel gauge - based on the a specific amount of fuel in the tank at calibration time.
If you lose that calibration setting by disconnecting the battery (with a low tank) the tank/cluster has no guess as to remaining fuel and MUST be re-calibrated.

its not just the one side is estimated. they are both estimated, because the level floater doesn't go low enough and is above the hump..Originally Posted by DSCOFF

not sure I can make the C&C saturday. Seems like the better day over the weekend and I have some stuff I gotta do to the 7.
