Hi All, quick question, when I was installing my CF brezel today, I accidently moved the needle on the gas gauge, I tried to moved it back to where I remember it was.. but will that do any harm to it? or any side effect?

Thanks

 

was the car on? if not then it should be ok...i changed my needles and nothing happened to mie...i will post pics tomorrow

 

no the car is not on. The whole gauage was off the car.. I noticed that the temp needle will go down if you touch it.. but the oil/gas needle doesn't... I guess the main concern was that will I have an inaccurate reading on the oil/gas needle? don't want to run out the gas in the cold MI...

thanks

 

i know what your talking about...if you put the car on and it went back to normal postition...then its ok...i did the same thing to mine...its fine

 

if you are worried maybe you can just fill up your whole tank and move it all the way up?

That's only if it is inaccurate obviously but I think you're fine.

 

cool.. thanks for the help guys

 

thats a great idea...i didnt even think of that!!!!

 

When I put mine in I moved all the needles at one point or another, they just all fell back to the stopper on thier own though.

 

only the speed, tech and temp does that.. the gas/oil needle does not.

 

i did the same thing...once i plugged the harness back in, the needle put it self back in the correct place.

 

The gas falls back too. I delt several hours with my neeldes yesterday
