I have a TDI which has the same problem with the Gauges, my Temp gauge twitches!!!, yet ford dealer told me its quite common especially on the TDI- yet when the Ignition is switched on the Gauges return to Normal instantley and the car is Brilliant so I am used to it-strange,maybe! but causes a problem, not from my point of view!
Hope it helps Gazza :D
