 thx bob

its a 1.8 petrol the wire colours that run to the tank are a purple/black from the fuse box and a brown that is earthed to the body behind the fuse box

welcome to the forum, I can't help with your problem but I am sure someone will have had this before and can give you some help. Just moved this to the Electrics section as you should get a better response.

ty Richard I aint got a clue how to work this site lol

You can remove the fascia and then lower the instrument pod.

Once lowered you can use a 9V battery to test the Gauge itself, apply the battery to the posts on the back, if the needle doesn't work one way reverse it.

The gauge should full scale deflect but leave the battery connected for about 2 minutes to verify that you don't have cold solder joints.

Then see https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/forum/index.php?page=topicview&id=fuel-systems-and_3%2Ffuel-gauge-stopped  where I replied to you.
