Default Erratic fuel Gauge

I know I've seen some posts on this, but tonight, while sitting and idling, my fuel gauge started jumping around from 1/4 to 3/4, with about 1/2 tank of gas. It stopped when I started moving. I know Audi will probably say "we can't duplicate the problem". Anyone have this and get a real Audi fix? Just passed 25K miles.

Default Mine did something similar at 8000 miles but cured itself (so far)

Dealer diagnosed it as sending unit not instrument cluster. Told me this was/is a common problem on the A4(?) and has been recalled twice.

Default actually it was recalled for the A6 not the A4. Also a class action lawsuit is

pending with the A6 owners over this issue.

Interesting - it has been behaving ok for the past few days, but read half full and still took 13 gallons... I'll fill it often until I get to Audi dealer.
