Guys, this used to work perfectly but no more.
Can you advise where I should start to look for the cause please?

Thanks

What's the symptom?

Did you put it in or did someone else?

Analogue or digital gauge?

etc...

Is it a standard gauge on the dash ?

If so its probably just a pipe come off .When mine stopped working it was the small white boost hose that ran across the front of the engine bay it had pulled out of a rubber sleeve. Just check the hoses hopefully you'll find the culprit

Good Luck

The factory gauge has croaked. I'll check out the white tube stuff and see if thats it.

Thanks guys

That's where I found mine disconnected, just above the main Air inlet ducting. Easy fix buddy.

Mine has done the same thing. Seems like the vac hose has snapped in 2, just behind the passenger side headlight in the small rubbery foam section. Seems like I need over 3 metres of new hose, and it looks like a P.I.T.A. to change!
