chinghammer Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 Hi there. Just purchased my 03 Focus Ghia 2.0. Have had it since Saturday and bought it with a full tank of petrol. Earlier today i noticed a beep when turning the key in the ignition and also the remaining petrol/miles amount was flashing. It was showing 47 miles left so popped a tenners worth in but it doesn't appear to have changed. Does anyone have any ideas - a) what the beep is? b)how long does it take for the display to change and show the actual amount of petrol in there Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 is the fuel gauge showing the correct amount if so its likely the sensor Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinghammer Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 The gauge is showing correctly and the sensor was working when i picked it up as it has been gradually been decreasing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
artscot79 Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 may have just got stuck see if it changes in the next few days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chinghammer Posted July 12, 2012 Author Share Posted July 12, 2012 Popped out a while ago and it looks like its gradually going up. Will keep you updated, cheers for the advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irl-06lx Posted July 12, 2012 Share Posted July 12, 2012 nowadays a tenner doesn't get that much fuel, i've seen it a good few times that it barely registers when you put it in. Sometimes it readjusts after a while, others it doesn't. Its been 8 months since i did anything less than fill it though and petrol has only gone up, so you'd get even less than i would have.
