Audi: fuel gauge does not reflect fuel tank is full

Audi technical service bulletin TSB-90-10-20 for 2008-2009 Audi A4, 2009 Audi Q5 and 2008-2009 Audi A5 and others.

Summary
Audi: fuel gauge does not reflect fuel tank is full. The fuel gauge does not show full even though the tank is completely filled. This may occur after the vehicle has been transported by a vehicle transport truck. The lowered reading is triggered when the vehicles are loaded onto vehicle transport trucks or when parking on an incline. The vehicle is tilted, causing the fuel level sensor value to change without there being a speed signal in the instrument cluster. As a result, the instrument cluster perceives a refueling process.
