boost gauge take off (any problems)
« on: 06 August 2012, 18:15 »
hi guys i had a boost gauge fitted to my car since january all was going well and then boost gauge stopped working turned out to be a faulty guage and got replacement no problems all working fine again, 1 month down the line gauge not working again now im thinking is it where ive got it comming from thats maybe causing gauge to foul all the time or just unlucky keep getting crap gauges, this is how i run mine followed on this link.  :sad: :sad: :sad:

Just found your old thread, same as me. My gauge is stuck at 10in hg rather than going all the way down to 22 like it used to. Been trying to get hold of the seller I got them from on ebay but no luck so far. Did you phone him?

yes mate pro gauge first gauge good for 6 months no problems then the needle wouldnt move smoothly and got stuck, had this one for just over a month and now its stuck on 10 and wont move at all, glad you told me of this guy  was a bit slow in replying but new one came quickly, im going to get a full refund and cost of postage i think as these gauges must be dodgy then, now to find a replacement blue one to go with my pro voltage  gauge which has been fine grrrrrrrrrrrr worth putting the post up then stay away from the pro  boost gauge.  :sad: :sad: :sad:

right new this would happen update on pro gauge emailed guy about sending it back and came back with a load of crap i feel troubles ahead,  this is what he said

We have only ever had problems when people fit them DIY, the guages are very prone to voltage differences and if wires are not good low resistance they will give intermittent problems, it does say on the advert PROFESSIONAL FIT, please tell us if you had them fitted by an auto electrician ?

Regards
symon

what a joke of a reply the gauge is run from air preasure the only wires are for lighting it up for gods sake and now saying to have pro fitted, ive been modding cars for 23 years and fitted numerous boost gauges i feel im going to get fobbed off and will have to take up a dispute see what his reply is now will keep updated.
