2000 Audi A4 Best in Dashboard

Would have given it 5 stars they sent all white instead of two tone. But it works great and is a great addition to my 2000 Audi!

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • Slightly dented

Wrong item sent

Stay away from this particular link. Apparently I'm not the only one who received the wrong item. I wanted 2614 instead they sent me Vacuum 4384 which is in the picture. I was so disappointed!

Pros
  • Good price
Cons
  • Hard to tell

I want a replacement

The product got to me in pretty good condition but when I installed it and removed the pin the gauge showed a vacuum. that is inaccurate. After starting the car many times I thought it would not work

Pros
  • Excellent overall performance
Cons
  • Safety

rather yellow that brightens the whole face.

The photo is misleading. All numbers are white, there are no yellow VAC numbers. The amber light is dim, with no backlight and barely amber, more like yellow that seems to illuminate the entire face from the sides. Looks dated, even a mid 2000s pickup truck.

Pros
  • Inspires trust
Cons
  • Periodicity

Good item Suitable for spares

Ordered this gauge to replace the broken one. The pressure on the gauge is solid white, not yellow as shown in the picture. I replaced the standard bulb with a short LED and it looks great. NOTE: When replacing the bulb, make sure it is not too long when fully seated as it will push against the internal spring mechanism and cause the gauge to fail calibration.

Pros
  • New
Cons
  • Some small things

Great meter but make sure you buy a fault free item

I ordered a nearly new item for half the price of a new meter. I knew there was something wrong with that, but I'm resourceful so I took a chance. The sensor I received was in perfect condition except the needle read 3 in/Hg. Art. at rest. I knew this would result in inaccurate boost readings, so I played around with it a bit. I lifted the coil slightly until it read 0 and tested it with a hand vacuum pump/gauge. It's perfect now and has been working very well for the past six months or so. As…

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Appearance

Display face not as shown

The 2614Z display you will receive will likely have an all white number as evidenced by others who have purchased this display in the past. I have to say, probably because mine also arrived, 11-06-20 with all white numbers. It doesn't matter much and doesn't violate the terms and conditions, but the product is misrepresented. A visit to the AutoMeter website confirms this - current 2614Z meter numbers are all white. If you want a vacuum/boost gauge with yellow numbers check out the SportComp…

Pros
  • Easy to use
Cons
  • Quick start guide
