hi just a quick question,,, Does any one know if there is any difference between the red and orange nedle gauges on the GTS dash all mine look orange but my fuel and oil gauge nedle looks red? could this be a cause of my fuel gauge not working properly even after getting a new sender unit?? is there any difference?

Actually the red needles are for the early model the orange are for the later. The senders won't work unless they match the gauge. Bit confused you said you put in a new sender and the old sender made the gauge work backwards. What does the new sender do?

Were these new senders actually new or second-hand? Brand new ones aren't expensive and are available...
Cheers...Dave

Sounds like the gauge needs repair. doesn't cost that much
