Fuel gauge recall

Excellent work. I used a similar method but rather than cut up the back plate I bought a small electronics project box just the right size for the PCB and used double sided sticky pads to attach it.
I wanted to make use of my Dremel. I’ve had it two years and used it once😂

I don’t think I’ll have a use for the rest of the complete cluster and I don’t think my conscience would allow me to pass the unreliable cluster onto some unsuspecting plodder, figured I’d make use of the bits before turfing it in the bin.
 
am i correct in thinking this recall is not necessary for S3 owners? (not that i have an S3)

also, can one of those bluetooth devices show an accurate level, or would it only show the same as the built in gauges?
 
i was thinking, for those of you without the recall work done - if you filled your tank up - then reset your trip computer - if we knew when a tank is getting near to low - i.e at 200 miles - then we can train ourselves to refuel, at around that mileage.

just a thought.
 
also - is the issue intermittent, or is it a case that it can fail at any point? does it affect all, or is it pot luck if you get the issue or not - mines at 105,000 miles, and appears ok
