Default Erratic fuel gauge

2003 Allroad V6, 114,000 miles.

Has anyone experience this?

While driving, the low fuel icon comes on the dash display. It goes away. 2 hours later, I get in my car, start it up, all is good and then the low fuel icon comes on, my gas gauge goes from three quarters full to E. My gas mileage indicator goes from 200 miles down to 10 miles before I have to fill up. The gas gauge shoots back to three quarters, then to half and then down to E again. My gas mileage indicator goes up to 15 miles I can drive before I run out of fuel.

Every time I fill up, I reset my secondary odometer so I only registered 96 miles since I filled up. I should have at least 200 more miles I can drive before I actually hit E, so there is defiantly something odd going on.

Has anyone experienced this and what was the issue/fix?

Thank you

Yup, that's what they found..Now I need to find a better price than the dealer at $400.00ea.

It looks like the right side is intermittent and they only replace both....

Anyone know a good "cheaper" source??? I can certainly install these,no sweat!
