Has to be the sender in the tank. The odd thing is it doesn't seem to rectify itself until some fuel's been added. Put in 30 litres and the fuel level's showing half a tank. Had me really worried too to start with - could decide if someone had syphoned it or if I had leak.
Incline will affect fuel level readigs.

My 1997 S8 don't have this issue but 1994 and 1995 C4 A6's that I had did not rectify themself unless I put a fair amount of fuel in it, at least half tank. I hope this helps.

Also when i get new car i ran it empty until it runs out of fuel with a can in boot so that i know how far i can go, not on diesels though as i do not fancy bleeding it on roadsidde
