This may sound stupid but does anyone know if the FTO has a petrol light??? My FTO has been on empty a few times but i have never seen the petrol light so i dont know if the light is broken or what... Can anyone shed some light on this for me??

Thanks Heaps

I know mine does...

I very rarely hit it, but it kicks in a little while after the gauge is on empty ... Off memory it is on the bottom left, near the rev gauge... Could be different on different models I guess...

the FTO does have a petrol light.

its the bottom left light, out of the two in the middle, the symbol on the left....

From what I've seen so far, the FTO has a 60 litre tank, but the gauge shows empty at around 50 litres.

My light comes on at about 8 litres to go, which is usually about 550kms in.
You notice it first when you're stopped on a hill (like at traffic lights) with the front of the car facing up hill.

It comes on and goes off at first, but if you keep on driving then obviously it stays fully lit... never really done that so I don't know how far off running out of fuel that is!

yeah the general consensus is that the fto does have a fuel light, check the bulb or fuses.

who gives a sh*t about a Light

you should never run the car down that low to start with as you start to pick up all the sh*t from the bottom of the tank and block your filters.

That is why you change fuel filters on a regular basis ...

But today, I was down pretty low, so thought i would post a pic ...

Took 55l to fill her back up ...

Lol wtf is wrong with you guys. I get average 530-580ish

I guess I drive like a granny though, been a few weeks since the car's seen past 5000 revs lol.. I need to go to a cruise, about time I gave it a bit of go!

Yeah, I usually get like 500k's to the tank .. That is giving it some spirited driving too .. Also I drive to work daily, and the odd trip down to the Gong ... But when I drive to work I leave at 6:30am, and head home at about 6:30pm ... So I don't hit that much traffic ...
