Title: VDO Air Gauge Reading High
Post by: DayDreamer on February 19, 2020, 07:52:31 am
One of the VDO air gauges reads about 30 lbs with no pressure in the tanks and 30lbs higher that the other gauge when operating.

Is there a way to re-zero/repair the gauge or do I just replace it?

Based on prior posts looks like the part number is VDO 150-112 and costs around $50

Swap the wires on the back and see if it follows.. if it does then the sending unit?

David,
I believe the coach in question has mechanical VDO air pressure gauges and the only wires are for instrument lighting. If so however, swapping the air lines would in effect do the same test...

You can open this instrument up, reset the needle, apply a drop of crazy glue.  Done. Ask me how I know this.
