Can anyone tell me ?

As to what would be the cause of the fuel guage and themp guage moving erratically, only in small movements like flicering, all other instruments are ok !, just these two,

I'm sure the fuel guage is not giving the correct reading, because of this !

Anyone


Thanks

Hi,
Does this problem happen all of the time or only when the temperature inside the car is low, like when the car has stood in the cold for a while?

Cheers.

Hi there,

It happens all the time, and they both flicker together at the same time !

Now the tank is low on fuel, it stays on the red !, but the temp guage still works as normal, but still flickers :roll: :roll: :roll:

Hi,
if the problem is there all of the time it's not what I was thinking it could be...long story.

It sounds like a bad connection, could be a bad solder joint on the circuit board of the instrument cluster.

Take a look on the Renault forums, maybe someone else has suffered the same on their Megane.
