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

 

had the some of these problems with my mums audi 80 cab which is also a 1.8 r plate the oil pressure gauge turned out to be the pressure switch at fault
and the elwectric windows wouldnt work from thecentral switch because the wires into the tailgate had broken on hers the roof couldnt be put down either hopes this helps a bit
