Hi all,
I thought I would post this on here in case anyone knows or has had this issue before. I recently picked up my A100 2.8 Quattro 1992 and briefly drove it for the first time on Saturday after it had been laid up for nearly 3 years by the previous owner. The car has been fully MOT'd and serviced etc, so it ran very well. I was overall very impressed!
But there are two issues.
First I spotted that the speedo doesn't seem to be in sync with the speed I was actually doing. I first noticed this when I joined a dual carriageway (50mph limit) and was approaching a speed camera. I glanced down at my speedo expecting it to show in the region of 50mph but instead it was reading about 30ish mph!
Any ideas?
Second fault is that the hazard lights appear to be flashing continuously regardless whether the car is locked/unlocked or when the engine is running. If you then pressed the hazard light switch to turn on you can see a irregularity in the light flashing but they still continue to flash.
It looks like to me that the alarm is triggered, but there is no alarm sound.
Has anyone come across this before?
Any help or suggestions is greatly appreciated!
Many thanks
