vacuum gauge !

Noel Glass · Jul 14, 2011

Hi

I hope this isnt a daft question as i am not a mechanic but can you fit a vacuum gauge to a TD4 engine ??

Or failing that a turbo or a boost gauge ?

Thanks :behindsofa:

Hi

to keep an eye on my right foot !! I fiited one once on a petrol car and was very useful, seeing as fuel is so pricey these days the vacuum gauge would be useful again. just unsure if it was posible on a deisel.

Thanks for the reply

not on diesel,turbo boost gauge is what you want. Does the same thing as vacumm on a gas motor

if you fit an egr bypass, some have a spigot which will happily take the pipe for a boost gauge.

not all bypasses have this though, so choose carefully

Maybe a more economical car would have been the answer.
