#59 of 68 Instrument cluster by rbguzzi Oct 05, 2008 (6:36 am)
The cluster went out a couple of times on my 2002 1.8 turbo all wheel drive. It always came back after I fiddled witht the fuses although never in direct response to my fiddling. Then about a month ago it went out in a big way, no tach, speedo, fuel or temp. Mmy TT is "too old" to qualify for the settlement so I am having it fixed by a garage in Hartford which has replaced clusters previously. Audi wanted $800 for a "rebuilt" cluster.I will be getting it from BBA remanufacturing for $250. It has a warrantee and will need to be reprogrammed with 60 miles. I plan to sue Audi USA in small claims ct. once I have the invoice finalized. The cluster did not perform as impliedly warranted. It may take a while but I believe I will be successful.

Replying to: flip08 (Oct 03, 2008 9:48 am) Keep working Audi USA. They agreed to replace the cluster and should reimburse. I got an extended warranty for another year on mine based on the settlement. Replies to this message: flip08 (Oct 07, 2008 7:05 am)

Replying to: rbguzzi (Oct 05, 2008 6:36 am) Keep trying. Audi USA sent me an extended warranty that gave the 2002 another year.

Replying to: bdnewnan (Oct 05, 2008 9:37 am) I submitted my paperwork to Audi directly. No deal - referred me back to the settlement administrator. Regarding the how-to of 'keep working':   Did you have to call on an attorney to get them to move? What's the downside for Audi of reneging on a settlement offer? And what leverage can I display to get their attention?
#63 of 68 2001 TT Tachometer by owenscol Mar 12, 2009 (11:56 am)
I just bought a used 2001 Roadster with 59k miles on March 7th. I drove it for 800 miles and suddenly the Tachometer is at 2000 when it is turned off, and obviously is running at 2000 over where the engine is really at. At this time I have it in the shop to getting the timing belt done and hoping the Tach can be fixed. anyone else having Tachometer problems?

Replying to: owenscol (Mar 12, 2009 11:56 am) You should go to this link to see that the instrument cluster warranty has been extended. Further , you should read this thread quite completely to see that the warranty that was negotiated by Audi and the law firm is being violated.   http://www.instrumentclustersettlement.com/
#65 of 68 instrument cluster 2001 TT by owenscol Mar 12, 2009 (3:52 pm)
That link doesn't work... the local audi shop said only original owners could get that so I need to spend another $1000 for it. $750 on parts adn $250 labor. ouch. Rest of car is in GREAT shape, they said though.. Timing belt just cost me $950. DAMN. But I'll love the car, live and learn...

Replying to: owenscol (Mar 12, 2009 3:52 pm) From Green Welling, LLP:   AUDI TT Instrument Cluster Settlement – Court granted approval of a nationwide settlement for Audi TTs (model years 2000 - 2004, and certain 2005 models) alleged to have defective instrument clusters. The settlement provides three types of relief to class members, including a 2 year extension of the existing warranty, free repairs or replacements of defective instrument clusters, and full reimbursement of qualified, out pocket expenses incurred for instrument cluster repairs or replacements.

Replying to: owenscol (Mar 12, 2009 11:56 am) Owenscol, the tach as well as everything in the instrument cluster is controlled by a central computer chip. That is the essence of the repair lawsuit. This was an improperly designed or built part. Sorry for the bad news.

Replying to: claires (Mar 13, 2009 12:49 am) This settlement is horseshit. The court granted settlement for the model years of 2000 to 2004. I have a 2001 with 15,000 miles on it and it is not covered by Audi. Why? Even though I have a receipt validating a certified diagnosis of the cluster problem within the time frame allowed by the settlement; Audi reneged on their promise and didn't allow my claim because my TT (and many others) were outside the time frame by the time we paid $1500+/-for the repair. The TT was our fourth Audi; we were obviously loyal customers but after repeated denials from Audi Corporate to reimburse us for an obviously faulty component (15k miles). We will no longer continue to buy Audi which amazes me since we were such faithful, qualified customers. Astonishing how a settlement goes through all the machinations of law and ends up losing the practical intent and spirit of the entire process as well as long time customers.
