I suggested that to him, I'm thinking there's 2 sensors, he said it has been going on for a while. It won't need resetting will it?

Is he sure it’s fuel and not the ad-blue ?
Ad blue level starts to countdown from 12-1400 miles to no start,and chimes repeatedly once this warning starts.

He said the adblu is full, he ran the fuel down to 6 miles left then put more in, he has 156 miles worth in now but the sound still comes

Not to be an arse here but 156 miles of fuel isn’t that much, tell him to put more in and stop being a tight arse,

On my mk6 the van used to hick up when low on fuel, unless you put half a tank in it wouldn’t stop hick up ing, might be the same might not.
