How to Check the Fuel Gauge on the Tharu?

The fuel consumption data of the Tharu can be viewed on the central trip computer screen in the instrument cluster. You can switch to the fuel consumption data by pressing the button on the right-hand stalk of the steering wheel. Below is an introduction to the Tharu: 1. The Tharu is a compact SUV under the Volkswagen brand, equipped with two engines: a 1.4-liter turbocharged engine and a 2.0-liter turbocharged engine. 2. The 1.4-liter turbocharged engine, coded as EA211-DJS, has a maximum power of 110 kW and a maximum torque of 250 Nm, with the maximum power achieved at 5000 rpm and the maximum torque between 1750 to 3000 rpm. This engine features direct fuel injection technology and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head and block. It is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 3. The 2.0-liter turbocharged engine, coded as EA888-DKV, delivers a maximum power of 137 kW and a maximum torque of 320 Nm, with the maximum power achieved between 4100 to 6000 rpm and the maximum torque between 1500 to 4000 rpm. This engine employs a combined injection system and uses an aluminum alloy cylinder head with a cast iron block. It is also paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission. 4. The Tharu's front suspension uses a MacPherson strut setup, while the rear suspension features a multi-link independent suspension.

I've been driving the Volkswagen Tharu for almost two years now, and the fuel gauge is actually quite easy to read. The area in the middle of the dashboard with the fuel tank icon is where the fuel gauge is displayed. After starting the vehicle, you can see the circular needle pointing to 'F' for full tank, 'E' for empty, and the middle position indicates roughly half a tank left. During normal driving, a quick glance tells me the fuel status. When fuel is too low, the dashboard will light up a red warning light accompanied by a beeping sound to remind you to find a gas station promptly. Before long trips, I always check the fuel gauge and plan refueling stops based on the remaining mileage shown by the onboard computer. For city commuting, I confirm the fuel level every 150 kilometers to avoid getting stranded on the road. The Tharu's dashboard backlight is clear, making it easy to see at night. Developing a habit of checking the fuel gauge regularly can save a lot of hassle.

The fuel gauge of the Tharu is read via a float sensor, with the dashboard displaying a scale range from E to F. When reading, observe the position of the needle rather than just looking at E or F; the fuel level indication is non-linear, with the upper half decreasing slowly and the lower half more quickly. Common issues such as fuel gauge fluctuations or inaccuracies on bumpy roads may be due to the sensor being stuck by debris. It is advisable to refuel at reputable gas stations to avoid debris accumulation. During each maintenance service, request the technician to check the sensor accuracy with diagnostic tools. If the fuel gauge flashes or stops moving while driving, safely park the vehicle immediately to check the fuse. For a more accurate estimate, combine the fuel consumption computer with the estimated remaining range. Refuel when the fuel level drops below 10% to avoid damaging the fuel pump.

Accurately monitoring the fuel gauge ensures driving safety. When driving the Tharu, check the needle position of the fuel tank icon on the central dashboard: staying within the area before the E mark is generally safe, but once the yellow low-fuel warning light comes on, refuel immediately without delay—especially on highways where the risk of breakdown is high. Make it a habit to glance at the fuel gauge before every trip; the Tharu system emits a warning sound when fuel is low—don’t mute it with the audio. Dim lighting triggers automatic dashboard backlighting, ensuring visibility. Maintaining fuel above a quarter tank is safer to avoid sucking up sediment from the tank bottom, which could harm the engine. Long-term neglect of the fuel gauge may increase accident risks.
