I like my scan gauge,but for some reason it didnt/doesnt pick up 2 error codes on my AFN.

Interested in opinions too....as I was looking out for a scan gauge....

Then I can have real time info to worry me as I drive along

I have an scan gauge II - I used it for monitoring the engine temperatures and engine speeds on the new conversion, while I have start to become happy that things are stable and where they should be in terms of temps, I have started to get the vehicle speed and fuel tank parameters set and calibrated so I have started to use it more of a fuel consumption and fuel left in the tank tool.

The ultra gauge is $60 and has a much bigger screen etc. would it be compatible / as capable as a scan guage?

Do a search on thesamba, most people seem to go for the scangauge on there. Don't know why though?

Not sure how much Scangauge's normally sell for, but found them for sale on a gadget website I use.

Found another alternatine on ebay. Its called TurboGauge IV. I generally do not trust anything that has "turbo" in the title. But it is way cheaper than Scangauge and looks like has more options. Anyone has any experience with it?

| use a Scangauge II. I like it, with the exception of two things, the whole fuel economy thing I can't get my head round, I can't see how it will work in imperial gallons despite what they say. Also it must need a working vehicle speed signal for distance covered, surely ? Also, the fault code reader doesn't work for me at all (AFN). Definitely worth looking at alternatives that have since become available I would say.

Same as you Andy, I like my scangauge but it does not pick up any fault codes. I thought it did need a vss? I have one fitted to my van from rjes, it's only 1-2% out, but I could calibrate the scangauge to get it spot on.
I do enter all my mileage and fuel into it, but really I only use it for rpm, boost, water temp.
would be nice to get a smaller one that could fit I to the tip steering column shroud (you know, the version you can put a outside temp sender in)

My MPL figures are now pretty much bob on. I had to change the diesel a / diesel b setting.

My VSS is 7% out.
