Hi all
New on here yesterday having recently purchased my 2nd boxster (1st one a disaster). So being a Porsche fan I found a car that was in my price range. Needed a few bits doing which were done and am in the process of doing. A nice little project for me.
However when I bought the car the fuel gague was on empty and the light was on. As most people sell cars empty I didn't think this would be an issue. Straight to the petrol station and fill up. I drove off and was still on empty and orange light still on. Drove home nothing still dead.
I have looked online here YouTube the usual places. Now it could be one of a few things. The guy I bought it off said it was left on empty for sometime so the float has stuck. This is feasible but how can I unstick it?
I filled the car up to full as I read this can reset the gauge. Also it could need calibrating. I was wondering if anyone had any advice on this. Obviously I don't wish to take it to Porsche 4 days after buying it but then can't drive around not knowing how much fuel is in it.
Also as I am new here can anyone point me in the direction of good reliable specialists in Essex UK to help with my project. The roof will need a new screen at some point.
Thank you for your help in advance.
Will get some pics up as I go. Glad to be back driving a Porsche ;-)
