Analog Pressure Gauge: Top Recommendations

For reasons I won't go into, I'm finally going to install an LDA. To do this, I will follow the procedure outlined in the technical article and "tap into" the exhaust pipe at the AGR valve (2.0 TDI BKD).

Okay, so the question is, does anyone have a recommendation for a high-quality instrument?
I would like one with uniform lighting in white or blue; the color of the pointers is not important to me at the moment. VDO products are known for their good quality, but I remember that the lighting looked like the speedometer in a Wartburg.

I think we can forget about that "fluff" from FK and Co. KG; China is out of the question. I don't want a cheap trinket, but a proper instrument.

Please post recommendations for good products in the price range of up to approximately 50€ (plus or minus, of course ). It would also be great if someone could share a picture of their instrument with the lighting turned on in the dark.

You're welcome!

That was a nice feature. The advertisements from the VDO Cockpit Vision used to include a blue or white indicator LED as standard equipment.

God.

Please provide photos of the cross-flow EGR valve that has been installed.

Okay, here's the translation:

Thank you.

Okay, no problem... please drill it and cut a thread .

Hello,

Okay, so I installed this advertisement here.
The display is electrically powered and controlled by a control unit.

"Looks good! It would only be helpful to know what brand this is. And of course, there's a disadvantage to this. The displayed value can deviate from the actual boost pressure, for example, due to a defect, or the actual pressure might sometimes be slightly higher than the sensor's measurement range. This wouldn't happen with an "old-school" display "

The ad is from here.

She used to have it in another vehicle before.
I ordered it in Japan back then; it's one of the most accurate gauges available on the market. It measures up to 1/10 bar with great precision.
That was the reason why I ordered them.


Best regards,
