petrol guages have always been swines on VW's dont think i've had one yet that hasnt had an itermittent fault of some kind. The speedo and the tail lights will be a fuse for a guess. Cant grumble at a battery, whats the year, condition, history and how much did you pay for the car. Bearing in mind most MK4's are heading for ten years old now

The petrol guage in my pug used to move, it was when I went round corners, I think that with the petrol moving about the sensor didn't know where it was, once I straightened up it went back to where it should be.

Polo's shouldnt do that, i know what you mean though, my mrs has Fiats and they are terrible for it. My dubs have never moved with corners

[Polo Paul]

If its not the fuse it'll be the cable and its an arse to do DIY

[polo boi]

[Polo Paul]
