Hello Pathy lovers,
No too long ago, my check engine light came up after I fill up my gas.
I noticed that my fuel gauge was not responding to the full tank of gas.
I ran for a couple of days. Slowly the fuel gauge rises to the top third after 100+ miles on the current tank.
I played with it by not filling all the way. Apparently, the fuel gauge respond about 80% full. Check engine light disappear after several fresh starts.
Today, I took it in for 60K service (awful $500 bill). I asked them to take a look. They called back that it is a fuel sensor issue which would cost $500 more. I asked if this would damage the vehicle. HE said no as it is just the sensor. The onyl downside is that I would fail my state inspection due to SES light.
Is there a cheaper solution to address this? Is the sensor easy to buy and change?
Thanks
