Default (on topic) TT's busted - flickering GAuGE lights on cold start, headlights did not flicker, went

away when engine temp was up to normal. Outside temp was approx ~22F, if that means anything, car had not been driven in a week or so. So is this electrical/gremlins/battery/alternator/hot flashes issue something to actively worry about, or just add to the list of "stuff" for Friday's 20k service?

Default that's a tough call. I don't think that's gonna throw a DTC in the ECU, perhaps it is just a fluke.

I'd sure mention it at yer 20K however.

Default Hmmmm... Will do! Not that I'd expect the clueless toads to be able to diagnose it, if the Gawd of

All Things Electrical can't! My guess is if they don't "observe it" - it just didn't happen. Another "satisfied" customer. ;-)
