Leon Boost Gauges | Oil Pressure etc - Which Gauge is the best match???

[LEE69]

Says all hardware supplied with them so maybe these are a "direct" fit compared to the others that need the central unit.

 

[Witalik]

yeah thats true but are these just as good like the DEFI BF ?

otherwise this price is very very good or not

 

[LEE69]

No experience of them, sorry.

 

[Witalik]

well these are also from DEFI but it aint the BF ones

think it will be same sort of quality ?

 

[LEE69]

I'd have thought so they have a reputation to uphold.

Anything made by Defi is going to be a top bit of kit.

check before you order tho as alot of defi gauges require senders and an electonic control box to link them all to. like a mini ecu.

Why is the boost needle not sat at 0?
If yours is like that I'd be rejecting it.

Not sure, bad photo I think.

On these pictures the needle is at 0 :

Received them last week, not perfect at 0, but ok for me :

 

[Witalik]

They look good !

But is there not a way maybe by opening it to set it to zero ? or contact the manufacturer maybe they have some tips or easy way to do it !

And in what color do they light up ? would like to see your picture when i build it all in !

 

[DDX]

I'm not going to open the gauge for this minor difference.
There is a normal light coming with the gauge, with a red and green filter.

But I ordered the following red led's hoping they match the dashboard lights :

[Witalik]

ok nice .

but for you to get those LED's in u might need to open it too ?

 

[DDX]

No need to open it, you plug in the light (or led) in the back :

 

[Witalik]

easy as that

 

[TubbyTwo]

cant really judge a gauge when its not connected.

Once its plumbed in and working, if the needle is still out then you gotta worry.
