Default cabriolet gas gauge

the gas guage in my '98 cabriolet has a mind of its own. when I put gas in, it works fine but then the arrow goes to 'E' after a short time. What is causing that, and is it an expensive repair?

Could be the sender, could be the gauge, could be faulty wiring...

Default Sounds like you have all the same problems I just fixed in my 97 Cab...

My gear selector light was out and both the gas and temp guages where acting up. I ended up buying a used cluster with only 44k on the clock and swaping parts to make one fully functional cluster. Do a search as there is a lot of good info on the forum.<ul><li><a href="http://cuatrokoop.audi-quattro.org/gauge_repair.htm">http://cuatrokoop.audi-quattro.org/gauge_repair.htm</a</li></ul>

I'd start with the guage.
