Oooppss.  I got confused (some things never change :)  ).  

The weakness in the 7678 is that it can *not* measure *current* to the 

differential-pressure valve on the fuel injection unit.  This runs -10 to +10 mill-amps on my 

'88 90Q, YMMV.   The 7678 is only accurate to within 10 milli-amps.

Other wise the unit will apparently do everything else needed on an Audi.  And, yes, I 

use the Radio $hack special that I got to measure milli-amps and AC voltage.
