Hey

I bought a set of these gauges off Xyberautos but have only realised the pod I have is 60mm so my set is for sale.

Boost - BAR
Temp
Pressure

All boxed as new, never fitted. Only opened to check contents.

PM me if interested.

The group buy was for the stepper gauges not the (cheaper) green ones. I would think the best person to ask/email would be Xyber direct.

Awaiting reply if they are no good then I'll settle for the white I s'pose! Trouble with me is I've got to have everything matching, but don't want to get inferior gauges. Heard some of the cheapo one are no good in the day....and defi's are discontinued....not to mention £££

They are £89.91 for the set delivered. Prices are a little higher than in the original group buy but still excellent gauges for the money think everybody was impressed with them from the group buy.

Email Danny direct to get the discount code/instructions danny@xyberautos.com

Has anyone found that the first connected gauge lights up red when the battery is reconnected after being disconnected? I have two sets and both light the first gauge up, not the other two that are in series.

The reason this concerns me is that i have just replaced the battery because it was not holding the charge anymore, the new battery has also totally died in a month and was reading 1.99v making me think the gauges might be causing some sort of fault as it as happened since fitting them.

good point as my battery only last about aday and ahalf

my gauges are connected to the radio constant live

just a thought maybe could put a fused switch on the perm live so could turn them on and off that way ????

Yes I noticed my battery didn’t last long was 2-3 weeks not a day but I just thought it was the alarm or tracker causing it. ( I didn't use the car much)
I asked Danny and he said he hadn't heard of any problems.
Maybe disconnect the permanent live (if you can handle the buzzing ) see if it is the cause.
I can’t try it as I have now sold the car
If I used it regular no problem

Rbaz - sorry to here you had to sell your scoob!

The car is not used daily and in the case where the new battery died it was probably over two weeks without touching it. I have put another new battery on the car and in each case i noticed that the first gauge lit up which made me think maybe there is some fault with the gauges.

Mine was exactly the same first gauge stayed on.
i didnt have to sell the car but I got a fantastic price for it in France and with the £ been so bad I can get a bug STI or even a Blob if i can find a good deal for the same money so I let it go.

Can someone please remind me how to turn off the beeping noise on start up? Disconnected power today which reset them and now they have the annoying warning noise back.

Thanks,

Andy.

Turn off the ignition then hold in the button on the gauge and turn your ignition back on again whilst keeping the button pressed in , repeat this for each gauge , that should be it fella

Right, I was doing it once ignition was on. Will try in a minute to silence them. The instructions are in the loft somewhere and poor translation.

Cheers,

Andy.

I quite fancy a set of these, but the battery drain issue has put me right off the idea, as the car sits for 2 weeks every month while I'm offshore

Has anyone found out why they are doing this?

Mine doesnt seem to do it mate , i only drive it twice maybe 3 times a month and never had an issue , but i know a friend of mine has put a switch in to break the permenant live , you lose the memory but thats not really a drastic problem

it remembers your peak readings i.e your maximum boost reached etc , also your personalised warning settings , but hey if you know that a real low oil pressure reading = bad news and so on then you dont really need them ,

That's good to hear

I can source a 52mm gauge holder to replace the OEM clock on my Bug but i hear some of the guys saying avoid the Oil sandwich plate so where can i get the double adaptor as the Gaugeplace website is down?
