Twitchy Gauges, but luckily the pod is out
Long time, no post.
I've been hashing out the issues with my lovely red 928 S2. I'm almost there, except I've got a twitchy gauge cluster that needs some attention.
Here's the sypmtoms:
Temp as right as it can be (fan comes on at first mark, but I've got a 75C switch)
Fuel reads at 3/4 when full
Speedo has to be tapped to come off the peg and then is about 10MPH behind.
Both odometers are slow (like the speedo)
Tachometer cuts out when jostled too hard
Fuel consumption meter cuts out when jostled too hard
Oil pressure looks right, responds appropriately
DC meter reads about 13.5v when it's cool out, about 12v when it's hot
I've cleaned all the contacts I can see. I've replaced all the bulbs as well.
Printed circuit? Bad gauges? Suspension too stiff (thanks 928 Spec!)?
HELP! I want a complete car again and I can't put it back together until I iron this out.
