So I have the recall done, NOW my gas guage reads full all the time! WTFO!

My gauge had been working correctly since I bought the car. So, I have the recall done to be sure, now after 200 miles on a full tank it reads I have 540 miles to go and still have a full tank!
Worse yet, I loaned the car to my business partner who had been considering an S8. What does he think of Audi now! This is complete bullsh*t!

Pain to go back, but at least you should get another free tank of gas.

no, it's a mistake

Accidents happen. Too bad about your friends impressions though.

It obviously needs to be fixed again.

Not having the cars is not a problem, it is the PROCESS that bugs the sh*t out of me

Interestingly enough, the same thing happened to me right after having it fixed-->

the gauge stayed at full for well over 150 miles, then it started to drop rapidly. I wasn't sure if it was broken again or not. I re-fueled, and the gauge has been dead accurate ever since.
