Fuel gauge Dilemma
OK guys, you all probably know about the ML fuel gauge problem and my several visits to MB. So here is the situation. My ML 2002, has has the sender unit changed, a new instrument cluster, fuel gauge reprogramed infact everything have been changed except the fuel tank!!
BUT still it plays up. Same old problem of gaining more fuel in the morning when I start up.
The question is, do I take it back to Mercs or do I live with it? Can they acutally fix it, or do they just tell me "they changed the XXX" when infact they leave it in the workshop for two days untouched, knowing that there is nothing they can do?
