There's a German word: "Unentbehrlich".  The dictionary translates it
as 'essential', but that's an understatement.

One caution - it's very sensitive to for-and-aft shocks when under
pressure.  I've taken some wire coathangers apart and made hooks to
suspend the gauge under the bonnet - the bits hooked into the Audi
are sleeved in standard 3.5mm vacuum hose.  I always hang the dial
up out of harm's way before actually starting measurements.  So far,
this device has been one of my most successful investments.
