Excuse the possible incorrect descriptions.. I have a 1998 RS4 AWD Stagea (on straight LPG) which is having issues getting the factory petrol gauge to read correctly. I need to find out the factory output range for the petrol tank / gauge for a series 2 Stagea like mine. I know one of you geniuses out there will know this.. My LPG guy said it might be 10 to 85 or something like that.. ?

For those who knew it, it's the car from this post http://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/226938-lpg-stagea-rs4-series-2

Thanks in advance.

Jason.

umm you would hope the LPG guy would be familiar with how to test the float in the tank to get the answer.

32 GTR is 6ohm Full, 80ohm empty.

I couldn't find the same data in the stagea manual but it is most likely the same.

But frankly, they should take the float out of the tank and test the resistance and full and empty to confirm

Thanks a tonne Duncan,

I believe that the gas gauge unit on the car when I bought it was a bit dodgy, and with no petrol tank there to test, they didn't know where to start.

As the gas guy looking at it originally was suggesting 10 to 80, it makes sense from your numbers as to why the gauge showed between super full and mostly full.

Cheers!

    • For a daily just run Akebono ceramic pads. That's what they're optimized for. Obviously don't try to run it on track or anything like that.
    • Hey all, I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.  I have a 2008 Japanese import V36 coupe with nav but without Bose. I bought one of those AliExpress android screens, which for the most part works really well.  The only thing that doesn't work is the air con controls (well sort of) and the factory reverse camera.  The AC can be controlled fine but it doesn't report the change in temp and mode to the screen, and the volume knob/other audio controls from the panel don't register on the learning app.  I am pretty certain that the problem is the difference in the head unit between base model (Nav but no Bose) 2007-2009 coupes and anything after 2009.  Mine is the one with the blue connector all the way to the right as seen in this forum post:  The reason I think this is there is one wire left over that doesn't fit anywhere on this head unit, or in the factory screen which also uses different connectors to more recent versions.  I've seen the upgrade from OWC, and have sent the guy a message on eBay but no response yet.  I also don't particularly need the whole kit, just *maybe* an adapter for this one cable.  Did anyone else here have the same problem, or have any insight about what I can do to get this working?  I have been in contact with the seller but all they seem to be able to do is ask for more pictures and videos. Minor edit to add:  I have been researching and found a screen on Aliexpress that actually specifies my head unit in the listing, so these things do exist.  I will contact the seller to see if the wiring adapters are interchangeable with other screens.   Thanks in advance!
