T25 faulty speedo and fuel gauge

Post by Kieran84 »

Hello everyone I've just bought a t25 camper and the fuel gauge and the speedo isn't working but the mileometer is! Any ideas?

Hi, me and my wife bought a T25 about a week ago (our first one) and the petrol gauge wasn't working.
bought a new sender from Just Kampers for 42 quid, dropped the tank and changed the sender and all works fine now, gave the tank a good rub down and respray too as they trap a lot of road dirt on the top and can rust.
Not sure on the speedo though if the mileage is still going up, probably worth striping it out and having a good look at it

I would say you have two 'unrelated' faults.
Speedo is 'mechanically' driven via a cable from the N/S/F grease cap. The fact that the milometer is working indicates that the drive cable must be spinning so this is likely a straight forward internal speedo fault.

The fuel gauge could be down to several things: faulty PCB (printed circuit board on the rear of the instrument cluster) faulty voltage stabilizer (three prong device that also effects temperature readings).
Corroded connections at the sender unit or the unit itself.
