could be two things - I have seen this sometimes when resetting the trip
odo (mechanical) - it gets hung up, doesn't reset wuite right, and the
odo just sits there trying but not turning.

I think that's most likely here...

Second, the gear on the final odo shaft often starts slipping, btdt with
all my Audis between 120-160k miles.  Usually worse when warm out. 
Dismantle, clean, abrade a little, and glue back on carefully.
