Well, it finally happened.
Dropped my 9201. Knocked it way out of calibration. cannot adjust it to maintain a constant reading with the calibration bar. *****, *****, *****! AFJuvat

Bad luck. Sorry to hear.
The cheapest replacement price I know of is $364 + shipping. See here: http://www.weissach.net/P9201.html Karl.

My belt adjusting tool went to sleep the other day. Shouldn't be any problems though as the blood flow returned as soon as I changed position.

Yeah, you can get them recalibrated - for about the cost of a new one.
Will probably be ordering one in the next couple of weeks. damn damn damn' AFJuvat

AF, I bought mine direct from the manufacturer in Germany, they do repairs and calibrations, try faxing them for a quote. This tools is also used on BMW and Volvo so it should be repairable.
Of course, these were the same manufacturers who cashed the payment and never sent the tool.......until I had to call them...

Is it possible to replace guage with a standard indicator? You will have to convert due to the different graduations but, should give you consistency.

I've wondered about this myself. I dropped my tool several month ago and broke the center pin. I wanted to look into getting it repaired.
The guy (in Germany) to send it to for repairs is listed in the 944 shop manual. I just haven't had time to contacting him to see what repairing it would cost. Regards,

Hmmm, that'll teach you....wear a cup next time!
 No, seriously, I feel bad for you. And I hope this turns out you can get it recalibrated cheaply..... Me? I'm shooting blanks, but I never dropped it!
