2001 Audi Tt Problems

HEADLIGHTS JUST STOPPED WORKING AGAIN FOR THE UMPTEENTH TIME. PARK LIGHT AND HIGH BEAMS WORK FINE. THIS IS A REOCCURRING PROBLEM WITH THE LOW BEAMS. CAN BE DRIVING ALONG FINE AND CUT CAR OFF AND START BACK UP AND LOW BEAMS JUST WON'T COME ON. IF IT WAS 1 AT A TIME I COULD SEE IT AS BEING NO PROBLEM BUT THEY BOTH STOP WORKING AT THE SAME TIME. KEEP REPLACING SWITCH AND HEADLIGHTS...THINKING THIS WOULD ALLEVIATE PROBLEM TO NO AVAIL. SEE THIS IS AN ONGOING PROBLEM WITH AUDI OWNERS. ALSO SEE THAT IT'S A RECALL ON THE NEWER MODELS BUT NOT THE LATE MODELS.

ELECTRICAL ISSUE WITH GAUGE CLUSTER, FUEL GAUGE INACCURATE (RUNS OUT OF GAS IN MIDDLE OF HWY), LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMES ON (MANUAL SAYS TO STOP IMMEDIATELY WHEN LIGHT COMES ON), AIR BAG LIGHT COMES ON! EVERYTHING I HAVE READ STATES THESE ARE ALL PROBLEMS WITH THE GAUGE CLUSTER (COST OVER $1000 TO HAVE REPLACED!) AUDI USA KNOWS ABOUT PROBLEM BUT REFUSES TO DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT. AUDI HAS A RECALL IN THE UK FOR THIS PROBLEM, WHY NOT HERE IN THE U.S. ?? THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE!

ON OUR AUDI TT 2001 CONVERTIBLE, THE ELECTRICAL OUTLETS UNDERNEATH THE DASHBOARD CAUGHT ON FIRE. THE FIRE DEPARTMENT WAS CALLED AND AFTER AN INVESTIGATION, FOUND NO KNOWN CAUSE OF FIRE. ALSO, PRIOR TO THIS FIRE, THE TIP OF THE SPARK PLUG FELL INTO THE ENGINE CYLINDER BLOCK, CAUSING US THE OWNERS TO PAY IN FULL FOR A NEW ENGINE HEAD TO BE REPLACED....LOTS OF MONEY (APPROXIMATELY $8000). WE REPLACED IT THROUGH A WELL KNOWN PROFESSIONAL AUDI SHOP AUTO HAUS MUNICH IN SAN DIEGO. HAZARDOUS LIGHTS NEEDED TO BE REPLACED PROFESSIONALLY BECAUSE IT INTERFERED WITH THE SIGNAL LIGHTS. MUCH MONEY & TIME SPENT, AND MANY HEADACHES EXPERIENCED WHILE OWNING THIS BEAUTIFUL YET TROUBLESOME CAR. *TR

PURCHASED A 2001 AUDI TT 225 COUPE ON OCTOBER 2000, EIGHT YEARS LATER AND ONLY 69700 MILES,TIMING BELT FAILS CAUSING MAJOR DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE. AUGUST 2008 AUDI SENT OUT A LETTER ACKNOWLEDGING A POTENTIAL PROBLEM WITH THE TIMING BELT BUT SINCE IT WAS NOT A RECALL I PAID ONLY A SMALL ATTENTION TO IT. BESIDES ALL THIS CLEARLY THE DESIGN OF THE TIMING BELT IS FAULTY OR INADEQUATE TO BE USED ON A SPORTS CAR!!! *TR

THIRD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A 2001 AUDI TT ROADSTER. FUEL GAUGE AT FIRST SHOWED TOO MUCH FUEL. AFTER A NEW CLUSTER THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS LOW WHEN ITS NOT. APPARENTLY THE SENDING UNIT IS THE CAUSE BUT AUDI IS IGNORANT OF THE ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE A REPAIR SOLUTION. I DARE SAY AUDI DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CARS, THEIR PROBLEMS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

I AM DRIVING A MANUAL 6 GEAR AUDI TT ROADSTER 2001. IN 2008, APPROX 2 MONTHS AFTER I BOUGHT IT USED I SHIFTED GEAR AND ALL OF A SUDDEN HELD THE SHIFT IN MY HAND, IT HAD CLEANLY BROKEN OFF THE GEAR BOX. THE LEVER WAS FIXED AND IT COST ME ABOUT 600.- TO HAVE THAT PART REPAIRED. *TR

CONUSMER HAD A TIRE PROBLEM. *AK

WE HAVE OWNED THIS TT FOR JUST OVER A YEAR AND WE HAVE EXPERIENCED 2 VERY SERIOUS TIRE BLOWOUTS ON THE HIGHWAY THAT COULD HAVE CAUSED SERIOUS ACCIDENTS. WE ONLY DRIVE THIS VEHICLE ON WELL-MAINTAINED SURFACE ROADS AND HIGHWAYS (NO BACK-COUNTRY DRIVING, NO OFF-ROADING). ADDITIONALLY, WE WERE NOT CHANGING LANES, DID NOT HIT ANY POTHOLES, OR DOING ANY EVASIVE MANUEVERS WHEN BOTH INCIDENCES OCCURRED. WE HAVE TAKEN THIS CAR TO ALL SCHEDULED MAINTENANCES. AS WE HAVE NOW HAD TWO CLOSE CALLS, IT HAS MADE US VERY CONCERNED ABOUT THIS TIRE'S SAFETY AND RELIABILITY. ALL CALLS TO AUDI DEALERSHIPS AND BRIDGESTONE RETAILERS HAVE BEEN MET WITH LITTLE SUPPORT OR DESIRE TO INVESTIGATE. ONE MORE THING, WE HAVE A THIRD TIRE (RIGHT FRONT) THAT IS STARTING TO BUBBLE ON THE SIDE WALL. (DOT NUMBER: EJH8CFE220 TIRESIZE: 225/45 R17)

AUDI TT, 2001, ROADSTER. THE GLOVE BOX LOCK FAILED WITHOUT REASON. THIS FAILURE DOES NOT ALLOW THE PASSENGER SIDE AIR BAG TO BE DISCONNECTED FOR CHILDREN AS REQUIRED BY LAW. MY CAR IS NOT THE ONLY ONE WITH THIS DEFECT. IT IS A DESIGN FAILURE CREATING A SAFETY HAZARD TO SMALL PASSENGERS. THIS FAILURE IS COMMON TO AUDI TT 2000 THRU 2005. NEEDS TO BE CORRECTED VIA A RECALL, AN IMPROVED GLOVE BOX LOCK SYSTEM. REPAIRING WITH THE SAME SYSTEM ONLY LEADS TO RECURRENT FAILURES. *TR

I WAS GETTING INTO MY 2001 AUDI TT COUPE AND COULD NOT LATCH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AFTER WORKING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY DROVE HOME AND REMOVED THE SEAT BELT LATCH AND TOOK IT APART. I DISCOVERED THAT A SMALL PLASTIC COMPONENT IN THE BUCKLE HAD BROKEN. I CALLED AUDI ABOUT THIS SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE HOPING THAT THEY MIGHT HELP ME OUT WITH THE REPAIR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CHARGE $110 FOR THIS PART. *JB

VEHICLE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAD A MAJOR COMPUTER MALFUNCTION CAUSING THE GAS GAUGE NEEDLE TO ROTATE VIOLENTLY FROM LEFT TO RIGHT AND BACK AGAIN CONTINIOUSLY. CLUTHH PEDAL WHEN WET TURNS INTO A SLIPPERY SURFACE DUE TO THE METAL ON THE PEDAL CAUSING THE FOOT TO SLIP OFF. THE SEAT BELT DESIGN FOR THE DRIVER AND FRONT PASSENGERS IS DEFECTIVE CAUSING THE SEATBELT NOT TO RETRACT. THIS CREATES THE DANGER OF THE SEAT BELT NOT WORKING AS INTENDED.

2001 AUDI TT COUPE. WHEN STOPPING AT A RED LIGHT/STOP SIGN AFTER EXITING THE HIGHWAY, THE CHECK OIL LIGHT AND WARNING NOISE COME ON. IT GOES OFF WHEN I START UP AGAIN.

While driving on a city street in Ann Arbor Michigan, the manual transmission shift lever snapped off. The lever detached at the base right above the spring assembly that allows the shifter to be moved into reverse. I was stuck in third gear and had to feather the clutch and keep the revs high in order to get through a traffic light and pull into a parking garage. The part required a complete replacement (completed myself).
