Well if you're not going to use it much don't go buying something overly expensive. In my experience the cheaper meters do the same thing but just have a lower rating ie. Don't go checking the power coming out of the power point with your $20 dick smith special.

lol I work with electricians most of the time...they have some funny stories of people doing that..
or using those cheapo volt light tester pens and people getting zapped by them...
ahh commonsense is lacking in some people ...

ur car has its own volt meter already via the trip computer so no need 4 a seperate gauge unless u want it 4 wank factor?, Tho still always best 2 check with a multimeter 2 make sure its accurate and u can use it 2 test that regulator of urs.

Sorry what? Mine is just a vy equipe does it still have a voltmeter on the computer?

 

[wrx884]

yeah from VN onwards they all do.

 

[kcpwns]

D'oh...
I didn't know that...Im guessin its in the mode function thingo when you start the car up?

 

[wrx884]

sure is On urs hold down mode and set and turn ur ignition on, if u keep holding u can start the car and it'll display while the cars running, at 1st u'll hear a beep and then a serial number will pop up that'll tell u that ur in the hidden trip menu, press mode 2 scroll through until u find ur volt readings.

as said tho its still handy 2 buy a multimeter 2 check and make sure the readings r the same.
