It is a known problem, I have emailed the VDO agent in Newcastle, here is a cut and paste of the email conversion:
I have deleted the price as that MAY be a special price/to stop people shopping around.
Also I apologize to admins in advance if cutting and pasting is bad, I am sorry

Hello,
I would like to get a quote/information on the repair of my dash cluster please.
I own a 2012 Toyota Hilux SR5, and in particular the fuel gauge only goes down to showing a quarter of a tank left, then the needle will not go down any further to the āEā position. In addition to this, the low fuel light does not illuminate any more either, which I am assuming is related to the needle position.
The Distance To Empty on the dash board still work, but I do not trust this as much as I trust the actual fuel gauge readout.
I would like to know the cost of having this repaired/rectified please?
Regards,
Peter Bialasinski
