Replying to: ttchuck (Mar 03, 2006 5:24 pm) I own a 2001 TT and have had the same problem that you've encountered. Since my car was under warranty I took it back a week ago and the diagnosis from the Audi Dealer was a power drain due to the instrument cluster and a faulty dimmer switch which flickered and buzzed when I used it. Solution was to replace the whole instrument cluster (electrical), a new dimmer switch and now the car seems to run fine.....I will keep in touch though just in case the problem happens again. Hope this helps you. |

Replying to: cogster (May 26, 2006 12:18 pm) I'm purchasing a 2001 TT 225HP Roadster with 38K miles...For $60/month more (over 72 months) the dealer is offering me a CNA warranty allowing me to take the car to any Audi dealer for 4 years or 48,000 miles...Should I get it? Doesn't cover normal wear and tear, and since this is the "problems" forum, I'm wondering what you all think? At this point, the car has been inspected and is free of any probs... I drive maybe 10-15 miles a day max. Thanks for your advice!

Replying to: ginameyerr (May 30, 2006 10:56 am) Doesn't seem like a good bet for you given the number of miles you drive and the cumulative miles on the car. I'm not clear about this $60/month additional over 72 months, since your warranty will run out in 48 months. |

Replying to: cogster (May 26, 2006 12:18 pm) I've recently started to have a similar electrical drain on my 2000 tt. Since September, if the car sits for more than a day, it won't start... of course I changed the battery, which was original, then moved from NJ to DC. The problem came back right away, especially since I now take public transportation to work more often than not, and so the care is driven less. Suffice to say, it has been at the dealer as I don't know any Audi specialists is the area. Over two weeks this past month of diagnostics, a system code reset, then eventually a new instrument cluster, at 2200 dollars later, the problem still occurs. Every time the car fails, it's been sitting for a few days, and when I open the drivers side door, there is a clicking in it... can't tell exactly where, but I have always stuck to the belief that the problem is in some accessory motor/sensor/switch which thinks the car is on or the door is open when it's not. Audi did a "thorough" check and did not find a problem there ir in any of the wiring... Has anyone had any resolution to this problem? Any suggestions for a good auto electrics shop in the DC area? I can't take this anymore! If I want the car to start in the morning, I have to disconnect the battery,,, and that won't be a good idea for very long. Thanks jenn |

Replying to: joice2800 (Oct 14, 2007 6:43 pm) My exprience tells me that this is an itermittant software issue, depending on the status of the interrupt flags at engine shutdown a sneak earth leakage path is set up thus allowing the battery to drain at different rates. Starting the engine resets the Flag system and temporarily clears the fault.

OMG-I was truly beginning to believe my car was possessed. I have a 01 Audi TT Roadster Quattro, bought used and now has 81K on it. It was wonderful up until about 2 months ago, the battery went dead, we thought since the car was almost 8 years old, a new battery was needed, so we replaced it. It drove for about a week and all of a sudden it was dead, used cables to re-start and it ran for about another week and now it's dead. If I had a choice, I would run that car off the nearest cliff and watch it on the way down. It would seem this all steams from some sort of electrical issue, due to take it to the dealership on Monday (if it will start). Even if it is fixed, is this an on-going problem? Sounds like I should just get out of it.
