Silver Machine Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Any help or suggestions to solve this problem greatly appreciated. Just filled up a 55 plate 2.0l diesel Mondeo. The fuel gauge now indicates full but the low fuel warning light has stayed on. In addition the computer readout giving potential milage for fuel in tank has not reset and now show zero miles. The rest of the computer functions are working OK. Aiming to sell car soon so don't want to spend to much on getting this sorted if possible.

Martin J Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 Our mondeo did exactly the same thing & then reset itself a few days later all by itself Hope yours does the same thing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silver Machine Posted October 11, 2010 Author Share Posted October 11, 2010 Just put the car away for the night and it sorted itself out just as you advised. Many thanks for the reassurance Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James_Russell Posted October 11, 2010 Share Posted October 11, 2010 My mondeo has done this twice in about 8,000 miles. I was so confused when it first did it, I caused carnage in a small village in snowdonia by turning the mondeo with the trailer (seven in tow) around in a tiny pub car park. Maybe the car has some way of 'knowing' the fuel filler cap has been opened and so re-sets the level after the flap has been opened?
