Indicator on dash is telling me I've got "this many" miles til empty when I need gas, and yet twice in last month it's totally ran out of gas on me, even when it was a certain number of miles yet to go until empty. Is the fuel pump going bad, or is this an electrical problem? The car has about 120,000 miles on it.
25miles. is an est. 1 gallon of gas in tank dont run it that low that miles to empty is an estamate.

You have to pull the code to know what's wrong, do you have any drive ability problems?how different is the car driving after the light come on?

You have a fuel gauge sending unit problem, the gauge is not the problem, the sending unit is in the gas tank, u must remove the gas tank to replace it.

Absolutely - the 1.8T engine is known for sludging issues. If they diagnosed oil sludge then your engine is covered no matter the mileage. The oil sludge builds up in the 1.8T no matter how well cared for it is, and the sludge can block the oil pickup screen on the oil pump (it's an extremely fine mesh), causing oil starvation and taking out the engine in the process.
Go to www.audiforums.com and do a search there for "oil sludge" and the information will come up. You can learn all about it there. But if your engine has the sludging, and you have receipts proving the oil was changed at the proper intervals, you will get a new engine free of charge - one of the members there is an Audi technician and I remember him posting that he'd changed out a 180k mile engine under warranty due to sludge.

If it's an analog clock, pull out on the stalk closest to it (the small one protruding from the cluster), and then turn it to the right - that will advance the clock.
