Guest sprocket Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Hi, I have just bought a 2004 C5 VTR 1.8 petrol. I have just found and joined this site and have a couple of problems if anyone can help.1st. The fuel guage does not work. It stays on zero and the yellow fuel light stays on.2nd. The screen washers only work on the rear window. I have blown down the pipes and the jets are clear.Anybody out there help me. Thanks, Steve. Quote
paul.h Posted March 27, 2011 Posted March 27, 2011 Could be a faulty level gauge in the fuel tank or bad wiring connection at the tank.The washer piping to the front may be blocked at the tank end. The pump goes in opposite directions for front and rear but if one direction pipe is blocked it will go down the other. Quote
Guest sprocket Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 O.K. Thanks paul i will try those fixes, just one thing. Do i have to renew the o ring on top of the tank each time it comes off. Thanks, Steve. Quote
paul.h Posted March 29, 2011 Posted March 29, 2011 I have not done either if these (washer tank or fuel tank) on the C5 but as a minimum you will check the condition of the o rings, only depends on whether you want to visit a dealer to buy the bits before you start the work. Quote
Guest sprocket Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 O.K. Thanks. I have ordered the o ring from Chester, only £3.80, will let you know how I get on. Thanks again for the help. Steve. Quote
coastline taxis Posted March 30, 2011 Posted March 30, 2011 if your going to have the pump of for any lenght of time then screw the retaining ring back on. Quote
