#2 of 58 Audi TT 2001 225hp quattro Coupe - Electrical problems...-->LEMON by mp_fl Oct 24, 2002 (11:52 am)
Hi I am not sure how many of you have had these annoying, unsafe, non-value defects that the Audi reps give a run around.   My car is: 2001 TT 225 quatro 18k miles, GPS, Bose Premium sound, Premium Pkg....Lake silver/Denim blue   I have ECO light coming with power going down to 50%, turbo stopping (as a ECO effect), fuel display erratic, speedometer erratic, GPS requiring fuse reseating etc. They replaced parts in it (GPS computer, instrument cluster, cable harness, connectors etc), and after 5 times, it still reappears sporadically. I am in arbitration with BBB and Audi but I am afraid BBB will side with Audi. These problems cannot be reproduced on demand, and does not seem to leave a trail (fault code), But BBB insited that a inspector "test drive" to reproduce them ... Hah!!   I have found that a lot of the TTs have this problem, as well as some other Audis and VWs.. I just want them to buy my car back.. I did not expect this much troble for $42k!! When I had the BMW, I never had any problems!!   Please let me know who else have these defects...   The car is cheaply made in Hungary, and it only "looks" nice... fit and finish are not worthy of a $42k car!! and Audi's customer services needs to learn a thing or two about customer satisfaction...   Mohan P.

Replying to: mp_fl (Oct 24, 2002 11:52 am) Do you know of any TT owners who drive the TT with the DSG trans? I'd like their impressions. The A3 Quattro with the V6 and DSG has me intrigued. beaunedoc

Replying to: mp_fl (Oct 24, 2002 11:52 am) I am having the same problem with the instrument cluster. They want $750.00 to fix plus re-set the codes for another $150.00. I contacted the headquarters about this but they say there is no recall on this part. It seems to be very widespread. BMW incidently will replace the instrument cluster for the life of the car at no charge, just labor. Replies to this message: mr2tt (Apr 20, 2006 4:41 pm)

Replying to: tjack1 (Feb 25, 2006 6:32 am) My '01 TT has only has 32K and the instrument cluster just malfunctioned - speedometer quit - resulting in a full cluster replacement at $900. Also the driver's side regulator switch is beginning to malfunction at $650, which I haven't replaced since it's such a great deal!?xV//.      Has anyone received any satisfaction from Audi headquarters? Thanks,   Art

Well, BBB is supported financially solely and entirely by business, so they aren't going to be aggressive in solving the dispute, but rather very methodical. You cannot expect BBB to act as consumer advocate. They are in place to protect good businesses from bad businesses. So you have no ally there.   Lemon Law prcedures are quite lengthy and involved. It's not a simple or easy process and wasn't meant to be. So if that's the route you want to go, you're going to have to expect things to be long and drawn out unfortunately. Being able to reproduce the problem is a key factor, too, because they are counting down time.

I have a 2002 225 Quatro Coupe with ~3K miles. This week, the battery light came on as I was driving and within a few miles I started to get indicator lights for the Airbag, ABS, Traction Control, etc. A few moments later, my gauges went dead, however since I was only about 1-mile from my home and the engine was running fine, I kept going. About 1K feet from my house, the engine died.   Audi Roadside towed the car to the dealer on Monday afternoon and after 3 days of diagnostics, I was advised that no trouble was found.   Has anyone else had this occur? If so, did your dealer or Audi ever discover the root cause? Replies to this message: bertola (Jul 02, 2009 7:40 am)
