Gauge rattling and buzzing

[SidewaysCupra]

Just finished fitting my boost gauge and nomad pillar pod and it's more or less working as it should.

The problem I have is that the gauge rattles and buzzes like hell.

Before anyone jumps in and has a go, I have searched and i know about the anti-buzz t-piece from awesome gti.

My problem is that I have taken my feed from the brake servo line and a t-piece would look a bit crap sitting there with one port blocked off. Looking for a neater solution.

I have had a search on e-bay but i can't seem to find an inline version of the t-piece.

If someone could point me in the right direction that would be great.

awesome-gti do a anti buzz t-peice. have a look on their website

I know about the t-piece from awesome but since i've connected the gauge to the brake servo line i don't need a t-piece I need an inline fitting of some sort. Having a t-piece there with one port blanked off would look a bit pants.

i have exactly the same problem sidewayscupra!!! i have the no buzz jobbie here but cant use it as its a t piece

 

[SEATCOOBER]

block the t-piece off then connect it in the piller pod just behind the gauge as an inline air reducer thats what ive done should stop the rattle, or buy a more expensive gauge!!!

Buy a decent gauge in the first place that comes with a inline restrictor.
I've got one with a electric servo motor and come with a normal 'T' piece and a inline restrictor.

oooh looks god mate, does it have to be ordered from america though?

also mines in a pillar pod, not sure if that means i need a different size?

 

[Damoegan]

You can get them on ebay mate. You can get them in 52 or 60mm but just because its in a pillar pod dont mean anything mate. Just get the right size for your pod.

ok, cheers bud im not massively clued up on all this so didnt realise about different sizes lol

 

[sparkie1984]

Thanks for the replies everybody.

Did a little digging and found this on another forum.

Bloody works too!

I know the t-pieces are only £5 but everyone charges £4 for postage and packing. Nearly as much as the item itself.

Happy days then, as long as it stays in the vac line where you put it. Fingers crossed...

Interesting. I've done the same as SEATCOOBER and just blocked off one end of the no-buzz t piece, hidden away under the wiper scuttle but my gauge is under reading by a good 5 psi (compared to VAG COM boost logs)

Not sure whether it's related to the t piece or perhaps the gauge itself (Autometer).

Damoegan, I'm not too bothered about it moving up the vac pipe as there's only my gauge up there. I am bothered about it moving down into the brake servo line though. What do you reckon the chances of that would be?
