Default Can the fuel level gauge be manipulated w/ the VAG tool?

I'm wondering b/c my fuel gauge is reading incorrectly & it seems to coinside w/ my recent recoding of my windows to go up & down w/ my key fob.

Could just be a faulty fuel gauge but just something I was considering. Anyone have any info?

Default Probably coincidental but ,,,

There is a way to do it - you need to drain the fuel tank completely and add exactly 7.0 liters of fuel. The procedure is in the Bentley CD (it's kinda long). The adaptation channel 030 in Instruments is changed up or down between 120 and 136.
