Settle down, what is the crisis of that? My last car didn't have a working fuel gauge, so you know what I did? I gauged my tank by how many miles I've driven. So I filled up every 250-300 miles. Never had an issue.

You need to do an output test of the cluster with VAG-COM to check and see if it's the cluster itself or the sender in the gas tank.

But his gauge is FREAKING OUT!! **Pictures the gauge running back and forth across the dash** LOL.

Happened to me too. Turned out that the fuel gauge sending unit was the cause. "It is a common problem for a wire to become frayed or broken and interfere with the proper operation of the float bar on the fuel gauge sending unit." I followed this article and fixed it myself. https://www.audiworld.com/tech/elec.html

You have a short somewhere. My Speed sensor was screwed up and intern would turn my gas gauge into a boost gauge. It would increase (towards full) with more throttle and decrease to empty when I let off on the throttle. Seemed to only happen when my speedo was acting up.
