HELP NEEDED! GTI owners in east midlands.
« on: May 20, 2011, 02:17:53 pm »
Hey guys really strange request here,

I am looking for GTI owners in the East midlands to test out a gauge the reads live data from the ecu,

The unit does not operate correctly on my car but the manufacturer has tested the units i have returned and has assured me the operate correctly so may be down to a incompatibility issue.

Am particularly interested to find another member with the same AXX engine as mine to see if it work on your car?

Thanks Jay

Would just like to add that the gauge simply plugs into the obd2 diagnostic port under the steering wheel. There is no wiring needed and no parts need to be removed from the car.

Just thought i would mention this as people might think twice about helping out if they think their car is going to be taken to pieces.  :grin:
