Willumpie<br>for your information <br>as far as I know<br>The computer uses for the averagefuelconsumption the the information form the injectionunit about the number of times the nozzles have been opened<br>and<br>the information from the speedometer<br>to calculate the average fuelconsumption.<br>Soi the sensor in the tank is not that important in this case. <br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START >D --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/grin.gif ALT=" >D"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>Willumpie<br>Does your speedometer work?<br>When yes. Than you have to search in the connections to the computer or the computer. <br>If not you should check your speedometer connections.<br>Sensor and so on even to the big multipinconnectors on the beack of your dashboardinstrument.<br> <p></p><i></i>
