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.

Interesting and plausible. Thanks.
