Advice on fuel pump

[kt]

Dear bros & sis,

My faulty fuel gauge been bothering me for a very long time. It will never go to full after I pump full tank. I was told that it could be due to a faulty fuel pump. A workshop quoted me close to $500 for the fuel pump complete set. Can any one kindly advise on this? Is it really due to a faulty fuel pump? Is the price reasonable? Any advice will be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Mine also facing the same problem, sometimes the needle will go all the way to full whereas sometime it jus stay at above 3/4.

Have learn to live with it as it does not affect anything except for been a sore eye. Been like that for coming 2yrs liao but everything still working fine. So i guess not much issue bah.

I feel that it might jus be the sensor that is struck at the top part and most likely not the fuel pump as if really fuel pump faulty, then your car would have jus stalled and would not be able to start and move as the fuel is not push to the engine.

I have learnt to live with it. And i believe u should. Jus use the mileage to guage your fuel level. i always reset the mileage meter after every pump so as to double up as an alternate gauge for my fuel. The $500 can be better spend elsewhere :)

It's not the fuel pump that is faulty,it's the fuel float that is faulty.get it changed and it's alright liao. :yehyeh:on top of that u need to change the o ring for the fuel pump when u remove it from the tank.if not petrol will leaked out from fuel tank when full.

Are you sure the recall is applicable to Singapore Tan Chong?

For local latios, no. Only applicable for msian latios. I don't understand why msian latios got recall for this, while for us here we don't have it. Isn't it from the same manufacturer and from the same assembly plant?

Ya, I think it's a design or manufacture fault which TCM should replace it for the owner. Anyone know how to raised this issue to either TCM or LTA for a review into this issue?
