I dont know about your scoob.

But my scoob is the only car that I've owned,

When you fill it up it takes longer to get to the full mark,

Than it does from full to empty..

same here BIG "E" although the light turns off straight away, do you mean the needle is stuck in the same place even though you have put more fuel in?

My guess is sticking sender unit in the tank. Remove the pump assembly via the boot and have a look.
