Race Diagnostics Liquid Gauge for RS6

Post by 500bhp » Fri Apr 17, 2009 11:22 am

I want to add a Turbo Boost gauge to my RS6 C5 2003.

I have always thought the CAN bus socket below the steering wheel was a good source of data without cutting into any other cables or sensors.

Can someone with VAG-COM please test as described below to see if the unit will work on KW1281 with a RS6. If so I will order one up and post how I get on fitting in the best location without trying to look naff.

The RS6 does not use KW1281 if memory serves...

The RS6 uses KWP2000.

OK next question regarding boost gauges.

Will this AEM Controller work on an RS6?

or do I just us the basic gauge display type?

Answers on a post card here quick please as I am off to the USA this weekend and might buy one whilst there.
