Thanks for your input, I wish I have as much knowledge as I have on BMWs

HeavenlyBang:


For me, a Civic, a high-performance sports coupe (Camaro, Mustang, Corvette), and a Lexus LX.

Civic for economic city driving, sports coupe for fun (trips on good roads, weekend driving, and just to turn up), LX for family hauling, trips on bad roads, and executive appearances.

My fuel guage just stopped working. Bought fuel and the guage didn't just lift at all.

Eddee:

I think you should just change the Sports Coupe and replace it with Muscle Car so you'll be more specific.
Muscle car is a must buy for adrenaline freaks, the only downside is getting a used one that has not been abused by previous owners (unless you're buying new though).

HeavenlyBang:


Except that Corvettes aren't muscle cars. Mustangs and Camaros aren't muscle cars either; they're pony cars.

Eddee:




First and foremost, did you buy enough fuel to warrant the fuel guage sender sensor to report anything to the instrument cluster?

Secondly, scan to see if this code will pop up p203A.? If it does pop up, there are two scenarios and if you can handle a spanner (pun intended), you'll be done in 30-45 mins.

Let's start with the easy one.

Scenario A, fuel pump relay or fuse is blown... Follow this link to locate the faulty relay and fuse, https://www.google.com/amp/s/fusesdiagram.com/mercedes/fuses-and-relay-mercedes-w203.html/amp


Scenario B, the fuel level sender sensor for the fuel pump and possibly fuel filter have retired from active service. Locate it under the passenger seat, pull it out and clean the level sensor - it consists of 4 high-grade stainless steel pins.

Now, if all these does not work, don't @me- you know were the likes of Kingreign, Gazzuzz and AutoelectNg, Oluwaseunla and Aunty Radu are.

Eddee:


They are just cars bro, chill.

@ Chelseafan1 and Buynowautos - almost always the fuses and the relays are good but the fuel level sender sensor is bad. Just order the OEM sensor or buy a toks (they are dirt cheap), avoid the Chinese clones, I leant this hard way, after squandering beer money on those 2 fake tibao sensors in that image

weyreypey:

Does this work for the w202 C klasse too?

weyreypey:

Now to brainstorming session....the true purpose of this thread... Goodluck fellas
