i have that too...

i think it sends a mild surge of current into the clocks when you do it...must be a wiring error someplace.

Mine does it when i flick the wipers on...then contstantly everytime the wiper lifts up. :|

 

Someone elses (BigG60-andy's) corrado constantly twitches while engine is on idle...wierd.

Change the earth strap that is the main earth from the battery... It is the clamp on the battery which then runs to the chassis under the battery tray and then on to the gearbox/engine... This gets oxidised with age (goes green) and stops the whole electrical system on the car getting a proper earth causing all sorts of gremlins like this... :?

 

It's about £25 from VAG and need a 13mm and a 10mm spanner to fit it... 8)
