As above really.... My boost guage has been dead for a while but the car seems to be boosting fine.

 

Any advice welcome.

Needle probably stuck. I would't worry to much. Get an aftermarket one, much better.

stays at 0 all the time from when you turn on the ignition? If so, the hose has likely come off the sender, it is the small black box on the inner wing, drivers side, next to the brake cylinder.

Or if you have an N/A with a turbo dash it wont move either :nelson:

Thanks Clarky, ive had a look and hopefully you mean this box that ive circled (albeit badly) in blue.

 

There is a hose sticking out of it that goes nowhere so it sounds like you were right but I have no idea where its supposed to go to.

Thats the one bud, it goes onto the back of the balance bar just by number 18 in your pic.

 

Get an after market guage and then you can take the solenoid out of the equation completely.

Spot on scrawni thanks.

 

Looks like when I had my alarm fitted the guy put the siren speaker just next to that box and prob knocked it out. Should be easily sorted when I get the speaker out of the way!

 

Thumbs up for all the help guys!

Thats where my alarm speaker is, its due to be moved when I can make space elsewhere, this is a good excuse to fit some silicone hose.

It doesn't go directly onto the balance bar, you will see the boost solenoids just below that black box with a maze of hoses going to and from it. There is a T-piece on one of those hoses, almost directly beneath the boost sender, that is where it connects.

Thanks for that. Hopefully when I can remove the siren speaker it will all become clear.
