Iit will be a year in a couple weeks since I purchased my 2001 Audi TT coupe and for that last 5 months I've been at the shop.
 
Head gasket
Timing Belt
Radiator (then back again for the plug because I hit a bucket on the free and it emptied out the radiator fluid.ugh.... at 2:30 am )
Water pump (exploded into 3 pieces)
Switch for radiator fan
Brake light sensor
Plus couple other things that I cannot remember
 
Today I was driving home and my battery light came one, along with the ABS and the Emergency brake light was flashing. Oh and some other light with a curvey thing and arrow on the dial for RPMs.
 
For the past 2 months the fuel gauge frankly has not felt like working correctly so I've kept the mileage under 300 after filling up.
 
One morning last month my gas, trunk and interior alarm buttons would not work. I have a manual but of course it was not in the car. Lucky that I had enough gas to make it to work. I called my mechanic and he told me how to manually open it and it's been working since (crossed fingers and silently praying it will continue).
 
There was a mention to a letter from Audi about repairing something and now I know that I must find it the letter or google it.
 
So any help on why the brake light flashes, abs and battery light in the center gage and the curvy arrow are on would be awesome.
 
Best of luck to all
  
Why does something so pretty not work correctly?

I too have my brake light flashing, not all the time, but enough. I spoke with the dealership and they told me to not worry about it unless it stayed on solid (not blinking). Oh well. Mine is an '02 TT w/100k miles. Does anyone know what this is; at the bottom of my cluster in the center I have a message that stays on, 99:59h

Ah, I had a drain in the stereo system of my 2000 TT. Audi was not helpful at all in fixing it - they replace the instrument panel but the problem persisted.
I am thinking it was a short in wiring. Tested head unit, tested amplifier, tested CD unit, tested speakers - no dice. Tested amperage at the fuse box - it spiked intermittently high enough to cause a drain of the battery every 10 days or so. Since I knew it was in the stereo line, but just could not find it, I unplugged the fuse to the stereo when I was not using the car. Drove it that way for 2 years, no problem.
