What This Product Does
The sender detects the fuel remaining inside the tank and provides an electrical signal to the dashboard gauge. It serves the fuel indication system rather than pumping fuel or controlling its delivery to the engine.
Functions
- Detects changes in tank fuel level.
- Supplies the signal used by the dashboard fuel gauge.
- Allows the driver to monitor the remaining fuel.
Technical Details
- Brand: OE Match.
- Mounting arrangement: bottom-mounted fuel tank sender.
- Supplied references: 64420180106 and 1615800600.
- Engine application: 1.6L.
- Application dates: August 1961 to December 1963.
- Included component: sender gasket.
Symptoms of Fault
- The gauge remains at empty or full despite changes in fuel quantity.
- The needle moves abruptly or gives intermittent readings.
- Refuelling produces little or no change in the indicated level.
- Readings vary with vibration or temperature.
- Sender terminals show corrosion, or fuel odour is traced to the sealing area.
Why Replacement Matters
A defective sender can make the displayed fuel quantity unreliable. Once diagnosis confirms the unit is responsible, replacement addresses the faulty indication. Inspect the wiring, earth connections and gauge first, since faults elsewhere can produce similar behaviour. During tank refurbishment, also examine the sender mounting surface and sealing area.
FAQs
Does an incorrect reading prove the sender has failed?
No. Poor connections, damaged wiring, an inadequate earth or a gauge fault can also affect the display.
Will replacing this unit correct fuel delivery problems?
Its purpose is fuel-level indication. Starting or running faults require separate diagnosis.
Is a sealing gasket supplied?
Yes. The sender includes a gasket; inspect the mating surface when fitting it.
What should be checked before selecting it?
Confirm the T6 application, production dates, supplied references and bottom-mounted sender arrangement against the vehicle.

Accurate fuel level indication is essential for reliable driving and trip planning. The fuel tank gauge (level sender) uses a float mechanism and electrical resistance sensor to monitor the amount of fuel in the tank and communicate that information to the instrument cluster.
Over time, original fuel level senders can suffer from:
• Electrical wear or internal resistance faults
• Sticking float mechanisms
• Corrosion from fuel exposure
• Inconsistent or inaccurate readings
Common symptoms include fluctuating fuel gauge readings, incorrect fuel level display, or warning lights despite adequate fuel in the tank.
This OE Match fuel tank gauge is manufactured to match original Porsche specifications for fitment, electrical calibration, and tank integration. It installs directly into the factory fuel pump module assembly and restores proper gauge accuracy without modification.
Ideal for replacement during fuel pump service or when diagnosing fuel level display issues.
A faulty fuel tank gauge can cause inaccurate fuel readings, leaving you unsure of remaining range. Inconsistent or incorrect readings increase the risk of running out of fuel unexpectedly. Replacing the sender restores proper gauge function and ensures reliable fuel level monitoring.
Replace the fuel tank gauge if you notice:
• Fluctuating or erratic fuel gauge readings
• Gauge stuck on full or empty
• Incorrect low fuel warning activation
• Fuel pump service requiring sender replacement
• Diagnostic fault codes related to fuel level sensor

Reliable fuel delivery is critical for maintaining smooth engine performance, consistent power output, and proper combustion. Over time, the in-tank fuel pump can weaken, fuel level senders may fail or give inaccurate readings, and fuel filters can clog due to contamination.
This comprehensive kit includes:
1× OE Match Fuel Pump – OE ref no 99662010200
1× OE Match Fuel Tank Gauge (Level Sender) – OE ref no 99662080800
1× MAHLE Fuel Filter – OE Ref 99611025301
1× OE Match Gasket – OE ref PAB919133
Replacing these components together ensures optimal fuel system performance, improved reliability, and reduced risk of fuel starvation or pressure inconsistencies.
This kit restores the complete in-tank fuel delivery system by:
• Providing correct fuel pressure and flow
• Ensuring accurate fuel level readings
• Filtering contaminants before reaching injectors
• Preventing leaks through proper sealing
A properly functioning fuel system supports smooth idle, strong acceleration, and stable engine performance.
Worn fuel pumps and clogged filters can lead to hard starting, hesitation under acceleration, loss of power at higher RPM, and inaccurate fuel gauge readings. Inconsistent fuel delivery may also cause lean running conditions that affect performance and reliability. Replacing the pump, gauge, and filter together as a complete kit restores proper fuel pressure, protects injectors, and ensures smooth, dependable drivability.
Consider replacing this kit if you experience engine hesitation, intermittent stalling, hard starting, excessive fuel pump noise, or incorrect fuel level readings. It is also recommended as preventative maintenance on ageing 996 and 986 models.
