Default How do i repair the fuel guage on a 99 focus please?

Hi there, we have got a 99 petrol ford focus i think its a 1.6 or a 1.8 and the fuel guage has packed up and i am wondering if it would be the sender unit its self or the actual guage/clocks? has anyone had the same problem?

Thanks for any info. James

Hi thanks for the reply, Its only the fuel guage that does'nt work all the other instuments work, someone has said it could also be the fuel sender unit, if so i will prob change it myself.

Mine worked intermittently on my old focus, i just lived with it. The sender unit is built into the pump, so you need to replace both. And to get it out you need to remove the fuel tank as there is no access through underneath the back seats like there normally is!
