    S7 Autotechnic gauges problem...

    Just received from n3oac1d (Thanks Neo!) and installed it but now the temp. needle doesn't seem to work. Anyone had this problem before? I will try to loosen up the screw and put it back in later tonight (it'll be 100F here in DC!). Everything else is working just fine...just my temp needle.

    Any chance that I'll pull the needle all the way up?? What is re-calibrating?

    Thanks...

    just move it very slowly, it'll be tight but once it starts to move just dont pull it off, if u do pull it off u gonna have to start teh car, let it warm up and put the needle back on where it normally is when its warm (thats re-calibrating)

    also make sure that the actual gauge face isn't popping up. if you tap on the gauge face there shouldn't be a gap between the new face and the old faces. if it is popping you might want to put some thin double sided tape in between the new and the old faces.

    I have the same problem on my temp needle. First it worked well, then when the weather here started heating up, the needle started to get stuck. I need to lift up the temp needle a little bit as well.

    Yeah the new face is actually popping out...my friend told me to put a tape in between.
