Voltmeter in memorium

[alexkp]

Like many other S's my voltmeter had a mind of it's own. Let no-one say it was without personality, and throughout the short time we were together we experienced highs and lows (usually when the indicators were on). My little friend may have not been very reliable, but it was always keen to join in the fun in an up and down kind of way.

So it is with sadness that I must report the passing of my accuracy challenged little guage, for when I started the car this afternoon it was totally flaccid, the needle remained pointing at the floor and no amount of flicking and tapping could provoke any sign of life.

Does anyone have any suggestion as to how I might re-incarnate my little friend? Is it fixable? Replaceable? Worth the effort?

I've been quoted £35 per gauge (water temp volt oil ) from a DV breakers

I have to have mine working as its the only way i can tell the indicators work,i can barely see the light on the dash and cant hear the click over the exhaust

Sorry im not much help

Can you reveal where to buy a gauge? I would probably want to replace it...

[pies]

Well try te factory first it could be cheaper than you think
try David Gerald etc
or Douglas valley breakers

Em - not wishing to get involved in grannies and egg-sucking, but have you checked the voltmeter connections? There might be nowt wrong with the gauge itself!

I spoke to these guys about 6 months ago and they were breaking an S3 - as I remember they had some instruments left - may be worth a try?
