I was wondering if anyone else has seen this...
I was driving my 1997 WS6 earlier today and rolled up on a guy making a left turn. He was stopped waiting for a gap in traffic to make his turn. I was stopped behind him with the clutch in and the car in 1st gear. I glanced down at the speedometer and it swept from 0 to 160 to 0 mph in a quick, smooth and controlled fashion while I was stopped. It worked fine afterwards and I have had no issues with the speedometer up until this point. Anyone else ever had this happen? Anyone know what might cause this? |

I've heard of gauge sweeping problems when there is a loose ground under the dash.
