Nanglebadger Posted June 19, 2006 Posted June 19, 2006 Ola everyone, i have a question for u all. I recently swapped over my original cluster needles for a set that i got off Rich a few months ago as he'd painted them a cool colour that matched the needles in my gauyges, the water temp one is runnin fine and the speedo one is ok tho i think it needs recalibrated due to the wheels, it feels about 5mph quicker than it reads. However, when the ignitiion is switched off the petrol needle falls to the EMPTY line and then rises again when the ignition is switched on, whereas my original needle stays at the level of petrol in the tank. I know alot of cars have needles that return to 0 when the ignition is switched off like my ma's clio and bro's seicento, so my question to u all is : WOT DOES your PETROL NEEDLE DO WHEN THE IGNITION IS SWITCHED OFF?? Does it return to zero or does it stay where it was??Let me know please peeps! Thanks.Phil. Quote
starletno1fan Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Mine stays as it is doesnt drop back to empty. Quote
davehart Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Same here, mine satys at whatever level it is weather the ignition is on or not. Quote
miracle411 Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 Yeh mine stayed mate, i think you might have put the needle on at the wrong angle or the actual mechanism upside down as i did this when i first made the dials for my cluster. Try that, i know it sounds daft but its possible. Quote
cheekyangel Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 yep mine stays where it is unless i have an empty tank lol Quote
Guest Enzo Posted June 20, 2006 Posted June 20, 2006 both my sr and glanza drop when the ignitions of bro, then back up when on Quote
Nanglebadger Posted June 20, 2006 Author Posted June 20, 2006 Shit, right ok, just me and the Bossman then lol.@ Miracle - i'll chat to my bro mate, he was the one who did it all for me but i think i understand wot u mean mate so i'll give that a bash. Thanks guys, appreciate the responses.Phil. Quote
lobotomy Posted June 21, 2006 Posted June 21, 2006 Pretty sure my Glanza goes to 0 but will check when I'm out in her later. Quote
Slim Posted June 27, 2006 Posted June 27, 2006 mine stays but it would be better if it went down because then chavs dont no how much petrol I've got if you no what i mean Quote
Nanglebadger Posted June 27, 2006 Author Posted June 27, 2006 Thats a very good point dude, never thought of that lol!Phil. Quote
