I picked up my latest car yesterday - a 2010 accord tourer 2.2 i-tdec.
All seems well apart from a couple of niggles, but this morning, I now notice a more problematic fault.
When I picked up the car, the fuel gauge read half-full and I topped up before setting off for a 3 hour trip back home.
I filled the tank to its capacity, only stopping when the garage pump auto shut-off operated.
It now seems that the gauge is stuck on full!
I also seem to think that the mileage left to run on the digital display is more or less the same figure as it was after the fill up.
So, given that the gauge works OK (that is to say it climbs when the ignition is switched on and drops when its switched off and that the digital system still thinks the tank is full), then it would seem to me that the signal from the tank is the problem - maybe a stuck float level?
Has anyone experienced this or maybe has some pointers as to how to problem-solve it?
Cheers, Terry
