This feature can save you time and money by allowing you to identify and resolve minor issues quickly, and understand the nature of more significant problems before visiting a mechanic.
Comprehensive Real-Time Readouts for Seat Leon Performance Analysis
The P3 V3 Gauge provides a wealth of data to help you understand your Seat Leon’s performance and health. All readouts are individually configurable to display in either Imperial or Metric units, catering to your preference. Key readouts include:
-
Boost Pressure: Essential for turbocharged Seat Leon models, allowing you to monitor turbo performance and identify potential boost leaks or issues.
-
Coolant Temperature: Keep a close eye on your engine’s coolant temperature to prevent overheating and ensure optimal engine health, especially during spirited driving or hot weather.
-
Air/Fuel Ratio (AFR or Lambda): Crucial for performance tuning and engine safety. Monitor your AFR to ensure your Seat Leon is running optimally and avoid potentially damaging lean conditions.
-
Vehicle Speed: Verify your speedometer accuracy or track your speed during performance runs. The gauge can be calibrated in 1% increments for precise readings.
-
Intake Air Temperature (IAT): Monitor the temperature of the air entering your engine, which affects performance. Lower IAT generally translates to denser air and improved power.
-
Throttle Angle: Understand your throttle input in real-time, providing insights into your driving habits and engine response.
-
Ignition Timing: An advanced parameter that reflects engine performance and tuning. Monitoring ignition timing can help identify potential issues or optimize performance.
-
Engine RPM: A fundamental engine parameter, allowing you to track engine speed and shift points.
-
Exhaust Gas Temperature (EGT): For performance enthusiasts, EGT monitoring is vital for ensuring engine safety, especially under high load conditions.
-
Battery Voltage: Keep tabs on your Seat Leon’s battery health to prevent unexpected electrical issues.
-
Programmable Shift Light: Enhance your performance driving with a customizable shift light, ensuring you shift at the optimal RPM for maximum acceleration.
-
Analog Inputs (x2): For advanced users, the P3 V3 Gauge offers two analog inputs, allowing you to connect and monitor virtually any 0-5 volt linear output sensor. This opens up possibilities for custom sensor integration to track even more parameters relevant to your Seat Leon.
-
Acceleration and Braking Timers: Measure your Seat Leon’s performance with built-in timers for 0-60mph, 0-100mph, 60-130mph acceleration, and 60-0mph, 100-0mph braking. Perfect for track days or performance testing.
