4. petrol gauge floats back and forth
5.

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

dose anyone know wich fuse the speedo is on?? ive checked the plate bulbs and they are blow so that can be easily fixed.

any tips welcome

my speedo does the same thing, works wen it wants, how do i fix this??? its doin my head in

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

how do i know which fuse it is, theres loads?

its in the handbook, i'll check mine now

errr actually it doesnt seem to have a fuse as its not in the handbook
