Voltmeter - 1990 200TQ 10V

["Peter Berrevoets" <peterb@mysysltd.com>]

This problem isn't causing me any grief, however I find it rather annoying
and have pulled the dash apart trying to fix it.  I've stabilant 22a'd every
connector in sight to no avail, and I'm wondering if any of you have any
suggestions.

The voltmeter moves from the far left resting position to the first mark
indicated on the gauge when the car is running.  Only once since I've owned
it has it read ~13 volts.  When turned off the reading drops down to the
'rest' position on the gauge.  The diagnostic built into the climate control
system (does anyone know what all the codes for this are?) on item 11 shows
~13.4 volts consistently.

The car runs great but this little glitch is driving me nuts.

On another note, a non-dealer, self-professed, Audi specialist/mechanic
advised me that the boost gauge on the dash is a 'toy' and inaccurate.  Any
comments?  I personally don't think there is any reason to think that the
gauge was anything but accurate. Doesn't it get it's info from the engine
management computer?

BTW - has anyone had the final say on maximum wheel/tire fitment for this
model?  It has the flat top arches over the rear wheels - I don't mind
rolling the fenders inside but I don't want to mess with the lines outside.
Would also like to lower the ride height by one to two inches anyone BTDT?

OMBTW - Just finished watching 'Ronin' - outstanding!! Does anyone know who
drove and/or who prepped the car and what was done to it?
