Title: Fitted polar fis do I....
Post by: berg on February 10, 2013, 01:34:39 pm
Have to disconnect battery as polar menu is displaying ok on high line? Also do I need to secure the polar before putting dash back so does not rattle? ta

First of all, congrats on getting it fitted. :happy2:

You want to put the polar in a place that's easily accessible for updating purposes. I put mine just behind the cubby box  and it fits snugly. Pic courtesy of Richn83

cheers ayoub, not sure have put it back as easy as that but it is all working  :jumpmove:

next questions for you re the actual readings  

what mb should the boost be reading under normal driving conditions?

what voltage should the battery have?

what oil temperature should you have before warmed up sufficiently for spirited driving?

any other intersting facys about the values being displayed?

Same problem as me, took me an hour solid to get the gateway back in position  :fighting:

Battery should be around 12v on ignition and around 14v engine running

I wait until oil is up to 85 degrees before any beans

Still not sure myself on a lot of the parameters, slowly working it out as I go  :grin:
