I agree with your point, to a point... I wouldn't be quite as fixated on
this if it hadn't just occurrred. And the fact that the reading is static
at 12.0. I know and have known for some time that the reading won't be
accurate and correct, but it has always been relevant, i.e. a useful
indicator of system status, readily available, without stopping or getting
out of the car.

My old Avant was always 13.5-13.8 at the jump post and similar at the
battery post (eliminate the possibility of a splice problem). The AC head
channel 11 was always ~11.8-12.5 and fluctuated allot depending on the load
ware as the dash gauge was more constant. Never changed much over 10 years
and 240k miles. Several brush/reg packs replaced and a re-man Bosch alt. I
would not worry about it. My old 5000 was the same.
Save your worries for the bigger $$ stuff!

91 200q20v Avant with 248k.
Threw the alt belt two days ago.
I punched up the volt reading on the cc head and it was still over 13 volts
when I got home and shut it down.
I installed a new belt yesterday and the IC gauge is fine, but channel 11
only shows 12.0 and it doesn't change.
I googled for an hour last night and couldn't find any info. I know I've
seen it mentioned in the past at some point.
I'm going to dive into the manuals now.
Just a quick post in case anyone's got a quick answer.
Thanks!
Ed
