Hi,

I also had a problem with the fuel gauge of my 544C for a while. The first thing I checked was the sender unit - and voila - the only mecanical part in the system caused al the trouble.
You can check the sender without removing it from the tank with a resistance meter. If the tank is full, you should read app. 200 ohms beetween the wire connection point and the car body, app. 10 ohm when the tank is empty. If you read an enormously high resistance you can be sure that the resistance wire in the sender is broken - then it is time to have a closer look at it. For those who just wonder how the sender looks like, I have taken some photos on my website www.oldie-werkstatt.de --> Tipps Technik --> Tankanzeige (sorry, german only)

Regards, Martin "McOldie"
