Default 03 C5 RS6 fuel guage not working low pressure Fuel sender unplugged

Hi there C5 family.
have recently acquired a beautiful 03 RS6 Avant. But alas has several issues that need to be sorted before being driveable. Most a pretty typical - but this is new to me at least.
so, the previous owner has had the ‘low pressure fuel sender’ unplugged which I turn stops the fuel gauge & mileage dusplay note function.
but when a mechanic inspected & plugged it back in, the car would start.
woukd we Simply say that this part just needs replacing, or is it a bit more complexed than that?
thsnks all.

Have you pulled codes? That info would help, thanks.

Don’t have VCDS to pull any codes as yet. I understand a Ross-Tech is the way forward. What is a good price to pay for one of these, as pricing seem to be all over the place…

Lots of fakes out there... best bet is to buy directly from Ross Tech. Guaranteed to work.

Don't ignore the less pricey option to Ross-Tech, OBDEleven.
