Re: [Peugeot-L] 89 505 SW8 - erratic gas gauge

aaah yes, the jumping gas gauge! it seems like i've seen this with %90 of the 505 turbo's i've seen. I've usually fixed it by cleaning the contacts on the level sender, but have had to replace the sender a few times.

not sure on how to access it in a wagon though, i've always been working on sedans.

hope that helps,
