Similar symptoms on a 91 200q20v results from a broken solder line on the instrument cluster.

Link goes to a fix for that problem on that car.<ul><li><a href="http://www.lanikamal.com/audi/dashboard.html">200 IC fix</a></li></ul>

That wasn't my fix, it was someone else's who kindly provides the information. I think you'd want to take the cluster apart like he did and make sure which tracks you're linking together with the jumper. He indicates he fixed both a ground track and a power track.

Default new ground wire

i had the same turn signal/high beam light problems and solved it with a new ground from the negative pin of the digital clock (marked on the IC board) to good bare metal on the firewall.

yes...solved that problem by resoldering the connections indicated in the earlier post with pics of IC. i did not jumper those connections, but probably should have since the speedo fix lasted just over a year before i had to redo it. even though, the turn signal/high beam problem never came back.
