Tommyd16 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Having recently just purchased some second hand defi gauges I was sure something wasn't quite right. I wasn't sure what but the quality just seem there considering how much the gauges are new. A little digging around and I found this on the defi site, not sure if this is a repost but I thought I would share to keep people aware; http://www.defi-shop.com/info/important/counterfeit/ It appears I have bought fakes and hopefully I will be able to send them back to seller and get a refund.

Tsia Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've got a genuine defi boost gauge in my car and the quality isn't anywhere near what you'd expect. The wires in particular are very shoddy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_jza80 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I've got a genuine defi boost gauge in my car and the quality isn't anywhere near what you'd expect. The wires in particular are very shoddy. Even the genuine ones are nowhere near the likes of Stack, VDO, Smiths etc in terms of quality or finish.

Gaz6002 Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 Defi do have a bit of a reputation for not being the greatest quality... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted September 9, 2014 Share Posted September 9, 2014 I wouldn't have one if it didn't already come in the car when I bought it, I'll put it that way Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
