Scangauge 2

[Rigsey]

Over the Christmas break I fitted a Scangauge OBDII port reader, see here for more details.

ScanGaugeII - Scan Tool + Digital Gauges + Trip Computers

Fits nicely below the toggle switches and display some useful info + is an error code reader.

Mines currently displaying:

Coolant temp
Air intake temp
Manifold pressure i.e. boost
Ignition timing

Any pictures matey the link doesn't seem to be working for me!

Will take some tonight but in the meantime try this web site:

ScanGauge II -- Scan tool with digital gauges, including trip computer -- $164.95

Looking forward to seeing your pics!

[Rigsey]

Here we go, not a great picure but gives you an idea.

The gauge can be set to illuminate in different colours (orange, blue, etc) and mounts via velcro.

Do you mind me asking where you purchased yours and how much?
How do you find it? Helpful?

[Rigsey]

I brought mine direct from the US site (ScanGaugeII - Scan Tool + Digital Gauges + Trip Computers) and it arrived within 4 days.

I paid $169 (US dollars) including shipping.

The US to UK exchange rate is very god at the moment for us :-)

I like gauges and this one was nice and simple to install and does not look out of place.

Did you get charged customs/VAT on your ScanGauge?

Thanks

Hi Nick

I did not pay customs/VAT; I think they marked it as a sample to avoid :-)

If you e-mail them they are pretty helpful.

Cheers

don't think you will pay customs anyway as its under 150 quid in value so should be import tax free

I like that, think i may order one now, cheers, save me some cash as was going to order the MINI centre guages

Cheers, thank you

Not sure of the exact rules but either way I did not pay any duty :-)

For the money I think its a great piece of kit and you can move it between vehicles.

Another qucik question did you guys buy from

Pure Energy Systems (PES Network, Inc.) home page

or

I'm going to order one, going to use it for : Boost Pressure, Intake temp and Ignition Timing. Will give me piece of mind and also let me know when its safe to nail the car in summer months or after I've been sat in traffic
