xRHETTx Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Aftermarket/stock? Electrical/mechanical? A few more hints please.... Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/175771-boost-guage/#findComment-3219781 Share on other sites More sharing options...
SECURITY Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 check the vacuum hose connected to it. the standard gauge has a crappy vacuum hose which gets very brittle when exposed to heat for a long time. if its an aftermarket gauge then check that the vacuum hose is still connected or hasnt warped somewhere along the line. if it checks out ok then blow out the hose fitting with a blower vac and try again. if it doesnt move the needle then its time for a new one.

TurboX Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 Sometimes you can pull them apart and reseat the gears but it will probably play up again in time. I had a similar problem and did mine and its still going OK after a few months.

BAMR33 Posted July 9, 2007 Share Posted July 9, 2007 nothin wrong with tryin to save a few bucks hot shot..... and ahhh... yeah just fixed it actually.. I'm not saying there is anything wrong with trying to fix the gauge, a few more details about the gauge would have been helpful.

xRHETTx Posted July 10, 2007 Share Posted July 10, 2007 nothin wrong with tryin to save a few bucks hot shot..... and ahhh... yeah just fixed it actually.. Well can you please enlighten us with what was wrong? I'm interested, i think it was probably that the gauge's 12V or earth wires were not connected properly.
