Here's mine - trouble is it won't suit the S4 due to the fact that the needle colour and backlight are different, but at least it show you where you can stick it

Got mine in the same place as Nige..it's the AWE gauge for the S4 B5 so the needle is white and the backlight is red to match the dash...

How easy are these little beauties to fit?
Posted: Mon Sep 17, 2007 7:19 pm
not that bad to fit..take a vacumm feed from the pipe that feeds the fuel pressure reg then run the gauge pipe alone the bulkhead and into the ECU box through a slit cut in the rubber..
then remove the vent feed the hose into the back of the heater duct and connect into the new gauge..take a feed from the fuse box for the illumination when the ignition is put on..
hope that help..otherwise just read the destuctions that come with the new unit...

I have always preached that teeing into the fpr is a bad thing to do as it increases the chances of vacuum leaks and subsequent lean running. Just my opinion but thanks for the reply.

Yepp,
I live in Newcastle, have had my 98 Imola Yellow Avant for 10 Months now, still not sure its as much run as the Black RS2 i had for 4 years that RS2MAK is now running. but is still nice if not quite as rare.

Both of mine ... The one on the center display is from EFU and the one at the top was the first one I had, from SKN.
