[s-cars] Fwd: System status check module in dashboard malfunc tion

[Robert Pastore]

Chad/Ben:

My guess is that there are two seperate problems.   The intermittent oil
pressure warning is probably caused by a sending unit on it's way out, while
the scrambled display is a common 92 problem.....solved by the factory by
deleting the trip computer and putting in half a display to lower warranty
costs in the USA from 93 forward.  With a litle work, a 91 200 instrument
cluster  can be found for under $200, and the display/trip computer can be
used, but I don't think the 91 200 display will recognize a cd changer the
way the 92-94 s4 display can.

Hi Fellas,

  I remember hearing something about this. Have any of you dealt with this
problem or does anyone remember this coming up on the list before? Any help
would be greatly appreciated.
