My boost gauge is playing up, so I would like to change just the gauge - save me getting my hands dirty :D

Here it is

Obviously an HKS 2.5bar boost gauge and its 60mm, nothing on the chassis denotes a model etc.

Anyone know if it's available anywhere ? Or anyone got one they want to sell ?

Cheers

Er, fooked :D It has power, the lights flash etc but the needle doesn't move. Greg at Turbofit gave it a quick look over to make sure it was all wired up okay, so it's either the sender unit or the gauge. Figure it'd be easier to swap the gauge.

They can be opened up to replace the LEDs so maybe worth tinkering to see if you can physically move the needle? I have a similar HKS electronic boost gauge. I've got the manual for it on my home Laptop, I'll try and remember to have a look incase there is anything regarding the problem.

When you start the car, does the needle move at all - It should go all the way round when you first start the car as this is like the system check for the boost gauge.
