Yong heng gauges spring to a memory pretty quick. Have good trustworthy non chinese gauges in line to confirm psi and supervise it. Don't trust the auto stop anymore. Mine was the same way before I gave it away. Redundancy in measuring is good for your safety and your guns.

NO! that's a 100 bar difference, waaaay too much to feel comfortable with. No telling which is right, but I'd put more trust in the Wika. If in doubt, I never go above the lowest one, until i can confirm with another gauge.

The compressor reading high failed safely at least. It's going to lead to fudging the auto stop which leaves too much room to find out how your burst discs and orings are doing. Yong heng work, but they're a big time liability imho. I went thru 3. Now I have a big dive clone and swear by the disposable toauto orange shoebox clones. They're cheap and work really well for their size.

My YH Set Pressure gauge (picture) started leaking at three years, borrowed liquid-filled gauge from Chinese HPA handpump, year later, still good. WM

It did not take long for the gauge on my YH to start reading 500 psi high. I replaced it and the second gauge did not last much longer than the first. I do not fill guns directly, so if (when) the gauge springs a leak I'm just going to use a plug.

100 BAR variance isn't "normal". Try to forget about "auto-stop" & find a glycerin filled gauge for the YH. Vibration of compressor kills non glycerin gauges pretty quickly. The wika on your gun looks pretty thrashed too. Wouldn't hurt to replace both for safety's sake.

Yikes no. Hmmm…I personally would tend to trust the wika more but it kind of looks pretty beat itself.

Compressor, yong heng gauges don't last. I have the same compressor as my back up now. There are affordable oil filled gauges on ebay that fit the yong. I think $16 . No need to spend a bunch on it, its nice to have something that works though.

I never trust auto stop on anything! As far as the gauges I don't trust the ones on the compressor. I fill tanks and, on the valves, I have gauges and on the tanks themselves I have them, plus I never fill my pcp from any compressor. If you can get yourself a bottle if your compressor will fill even a small bottle and pair it up with a good quality gauge and get it checked every now and then. They aren't cheap but safety is everything.
