Dipstick is not easy, as the filler pipe goes in an angle.

Why not replacing the sender unit?

This job is not difficult.=20

That is the most probable cause of the problem.

Afterwards it is needed to calibrate the gauge again.

I used the Haynes manual for how to do that.

An alternative methos is filling the tank entirely and drive for 200 =
miles for the next fill.

Anybody have a template for a reasonably accurate gas-tank dipstick for =
a B?  Not sure the gauge on our car is trustworthy.
