My fuel gauge doesnt work in my 5 has anyone got any ideas what might be wrong with it. The light still comes on when low on fuel but the needle wont move.

lift the seat up dissconnect the plug to the sender, give it a squirt with wd or electrical contact spray and a clean with a cotton bud or twisted tissue paper and your be suprized to see it work

my water temp sender was the same. took it off and gave it a clean, no problems since

the thing is its not renaults fault as such its just plug become grimy or the spade conector or male/female bullet conectors become loose over time

give it a go if not try a spare set of clocks or borrowed one, could well be your clocks!
