Mine sometimes comes on when im at E, its intermittent.
Mine sometimes comes on when im at E, its intermittent. When i fill it up on E i only get 10 gallons, which is about 6 gallons short. Trust me, the gas tanks are totally unpredictable as are the gauge/light. Just keep track of how many miles you can go on a tank and fill it up when your reach that mileage instead of relying on the gauge or light. Of course if your messing with the tuning or if you slash your gas lines then this may not be a good idea.

Funny, the 97 TSi I just bought does this same thing. It gets down to just above 1/4 of a tank and the gas light comes on and stays on, yet the needle never drops any further. It just stays there. And I've driven it a good 70 miles beyond that point before fear forced me to stop at a gas station.My tank get to 1/4 tank and then my needle seems to stop. I haven't tried to run it out of gas yet to see if it just can't go any lower or if its right.
