Advice: Malfunctions of the fuel level indicator sensor are most often associated with wear of the contact part of its rheostat. This can be verified by measuring its electrical resistance with an ohmmeter while smoothly moving the lever with the float from one extreme position to another. A faulty sensor should be replaced.
Removal
1. Remove the fuel module (see "Fuel module engine 11183 (1.6i) - removal and installation").
2. The fuel module cover is held on two guides. A spring is placed on one of the guides. The spring is secured with a retaining ring installed in the upper annular groove of the guide. To remove the fuel level indicator sensor, use a slotted screwdriver with a narrow blade to pry up and slide the retaining ring into the lower groove of the guide.
3. Lift the fuel module cover.
4. Remove the wire tip from the fuel pressure regulator terminal.
5. Press the lock of the wiring block...
...and disconnect the block from the fuel module cover.
6. Using a slotted screwdriver, release the wire connector retainer.
7. Disconnect the block from the fuel pump.
8. Release the two fuel level sensor fasteners.
9. Move the sensor along the grooves of the fuel module body and remove it.
