Default scangauge
Has anybody got or used a scan gauge? They look fairly nice and simple to install use etc.

Thinking of one for the focus just wondered if there actually any good.

Always fancied one myself tbh after seeing johns, not that i need one really, just more for the cool factor, plus they do show a lot of info. if i had a turbo car like yours, running big power, id defo get one, especially at the price they go for, under £140 last time i checked

had one in my focus rs , every one should have came with one as standard imo

there ideal just for the water and charge temps just to keep an eye on them

specially with the chargecooler pump being prone to packing in , you notice straight away

think i paid £115 delivered next day iirc

Rob had one in his Mk1 Focus RS. Looked a great bit of kit to be honest. I was going to get one for my A4 but it would seem it's only compatible with OBD2 not OBD1

Any idea of where he mounted it? I thought about getting one, but wouldn't know where to put it without it looking out of place!
