[s-cars] S6 Tachometer Error

[bob.rossato at att.net]

That was me.  In the interim Paul Gailus has determined that the fix is
actually very simple.  He also has a '95 with this problem.  He plugged in his
VAG-COM and when he checked the instrument panel he noticed it was set for 6
cylinders.  Changed it to 5 and all is proper.  At least that is what I
recall.  I haven't had the opportunity to do that on my own car yet.

Your options are to find someone with a VAG-COM or Shadetree setup, or have the
dealer plug in their VAG1552 and reset the instrument panel.
