just bought a audi cabriolet 1.8 R reg it's got a couple of minor issues but the price was right so just looking for a pointer as to where to
look first.......
the oil pressure gauge shoots far right when the ignition is switched on and stays there. my kit car does this when the earth comes off but as i built
that i know where to look where as the audi i didn't build
oil temp gauge also doesn't appear to be working.
the rev counter has decided to take a early xmas holiday and given up working.
the switch to drop all 4 windows at once has done same as above but each window works fine on it's own switch.
oh and the rear speakers don't work but i'm putting that down to the muppet who fitted the nasty kenwood stereo in it!
other than the above it's a very nice car
cheers in advance if anyone can shed some light on the above
Not being silly have you checked fuses?

yeah checked them before even consulting the owners hand book which at the end of each paragraph reads " if the problem persists take the vehicle to your nearest audi service center as soon as possible"! cos thats helpfull!!
Sounds like a very unhealthy car - and one which sounds expensive to fix.
Is the car legit - sounds like a ringer to me...

If the oil pressure is alright when you get the gauge working that remains to be seen, unless the price reduction covers fitting or fixing the problems
