ddi gauges in - now rpm needle is sticky. Help!

[_leon_ 0]

I've fitted the ddi gauges and while they are lovely, everythign works as expected bar the rpm needle. It seems to 'stick', e.g. i rev to 2k rpm, the needle stays at 2k rpm. It also seems a little 'slower' to react to rev rates than previously. Is it just a case of it being on too tight? Anyone else had this and needed to adjust?

 

*dreading the thought of having to do all that pita work again*

Sounds like the dial faces are catching the needle/needle element underneath.

 

Probably just a cse of re-positioning.

Sounds like a case of "why p1ss about with the perfectly adequate stock gauges" scenario to me :lol:

i did notice when i put the rpm gauge back on - there were only 2 screws - whereas there are 4 available spaces to use them. anyone notice this?

leon, i had this problem to mate. for some reason the rev gauge just needed a little bit more force to be pressed down, i noticed a faint (click) then it worked fine :D

 

cheeswire??? we could say the same about the whole car mate. ie turbo/supercharger etc etc etc, but we love these cars.
