I'm in the process of installing this WB in my FD, it's not even wired yet! It's in the center speaker tri-pod and I left my car outside 2 days and when I went back to continue installation I found out the plastic gauge housing is all deformed due to the heat! My other gauges (VDO boost and oil temp) are ok in the same location... wtf!

 

interesting, never though they used cheaper plastic, was the part fully inspected prior to leaving it there for 2 days?

i dont know maybe they do use less heat resistant plastic?

 

wow... well now I know what NOT to buy...

 

or you can park it in a heated and cooled environment.
what temps you haven their?

 

What does this mean?

 

what the weather is?? in Fahrenheit?

 

Ohhh... You mean "What temps are you having there?"

I didn't understand your initial post

 

LOL, Tom had a small RX-7 model, he had it setting on the dash with the car windos down (car show) and it deformed it pretty badly, I would imagine with the windows up that car would have turned into a plastic puddle. Your gauge housing must not have been formed with a high heat plastic.

 

Contact AEM and inquire about this issue. See what they can do for you.

 

Man that sucks. Your center plastic speaker cover on your dashboard can last years, but that gauge melts in two days...

 

mines been in my car for over a year and sometimes in 100 degree heat and hasn't done anything yet.. but its in a pillar pod..?

 

i just read another post like this with the center gauge pods... anyone acually make a hightemped one?
