I did this swap to my 1990 Jetta 2-door Digi II CE2 car and my fuel gauge reads correctly. I am using the original 1990 Jetta instrument cluster. It is one of the best mods I have made to my car and recommend it to anyone but I haven't noticed any bigger capacity using the Mk3 tank compared to the Mk2 tank they seem to hold the same amount.
Pros: fuel gauge reads correctly, best mod, recommended
Cons: no bigger capacity
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta

My W8 wagon had fuel leaks a couple of times. A few months ago, it started leaking again, on the driver's side near front of tank. There was a crack in tank, mechanic said "this is a common failure" on Passat tanks.
Cons: fuel leaks, crack in tank

I was getting a strong smell of fuel in the car and around it when my w8 had more than 3/4 tank of fuel... the dealer took 2 weeks to sort out the issue and came back and told me the tank was cracked and I needed to replace it.
Cons: strong fuel smell, cracked tank

If you run a mk3 cluster it is wise to also run the mk3 fuel tank so your gauge reads correctly.
