Fitted my Liquid Gauge today

[Willie]

Does this have the full vag com diagnosis and logging ability?

 

[LEE69]

Not logging but lists fault codes, and clears them.

 

[lee25]

wat are they like to fit mate? looks a nice piece of kit

 

[LEE69]

The edge needed sanding down to fit my vent but other than that easy, just plugs into the OBD port under the ashtray then you input the password this line of the instructions made me laugh

If an incorrect password is entered then you will be allowed 3 subsequent tries, if you
are unsuccessful then you have probably stolen the unit and will have no chance to
make it work.

 

[lee25]

all that you need to do wiring wise is just plug into the OBD port and thats all??

 

[LEE69]

Yes takes the power from it to, just the one connection, easy.

well thats just made my mind up then

Thats one smart piece of kit,looks the dogs.as for fitting it to a fr tdi would it give me the same features eg.bhp and boost?

 

[LEE69]

Have a look here http://racediagnostics.com/cms/index.php?page=cars-supported

 

[FRdan]

Its seems like it will be suitable for a tdi engine just requires a bit more initial set-up.

Looks very smart. Tempted to get this but rather expensive.

Comparatively though a single function electronic gauge can cost as much as this. I do like the idea of it :-D

Having looked around some people have fitted them into ashtrays, one guy fitted his into his instrument cluster, you could fit it into a separate box and fit like a sat nav (they will also build one for you 'LiquidCube' if you wanted)

Would like to have a play with one bit too much of a toy on a standard car though

 

[LEE69]

Boys like toys

Hey!

Don't you sell these at awesome? Do you fit them too?

Regarding fitting, do you hardwire to the odb port or are you required to plug it in?

 

[CupraMVR]

Yea we fit these at awesome. we normally plug them in for people and hide the wiring. but we can hard wire them in but at extra cost cause of the work involved with soldering wires it there.

Lee when you fit it do you remove the ODB socket from the panel so the whole lot is behid it or does it stick out?

 

[drinkwell]

Lee when you fit it do you remove the ODB socket from the panel so the whole lot is behind it or does it stick out?

it sticks out,needs to be hard wired I guess.

 

[LEE69]

Just plugged it into the
OBD port

I was keen on this item but was told at night it reflects on the drivers side mirror making the view impeded.
good bit of kit.

no it doesnt... had one a year and never seen this

 

[james walker]

Absolutely the best gauge i have ever used, so so many functions.
Might cost a bit of money, but money very well spent.

Joystick is a bit small, but you do get used to it.
Digital speedo is a nice touch, tells you the peak of everything, 14.7 psi i boosted too, might be a touch high for a standard LC?
BHP read 183 which is so close
I can read my oil temp too.
Also the AFR
So so much more, but just buy one

Could have stayed out all night playing with it, but the Mrs would have killed me.

must get mine upgraded... seems like a few more bits have been added
