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)
#11 of 58 Lightly driven 2000 audi tt with electrical drain by ttchuck Mar 03, 2006 (5:24 pm)
Ok, I have this hard to diagnose electrical drain.   If the car sits for any length of time, like > 2 days the battery is dead. Seems like I've had this problem for awhile but just started noticing it because I no longer drive it everyday. The service folks thinks its the door control modules that have out of sync firmware. Anyone heard of this?   Early on I had problems with driver door lock module which was replaced because the system thought the door was open and would move the window down a little... which caused the car to think that a door was open while moving or the alarm went off when stationary.   Anyway that was cleared up years ago but now I have this slow drain. Has anyone else had a similar problem? Did you solve it?

Replying to: ttchuck (Mar 03, 2006 5:24 pm) I HAVE THE EXACT SAME PROBLEM ... or at least it sounds like it. I recently moved to DC so no longer need to drive every day..every time I leave my car over 24 hours (even if it is a nice warm garage) it will not start...i dont even hear the engine grinding just click click click when i try and turn it.   The instrument panel all reverts back to July 1st 1998. The horn when i lock it stops beeping. And no go on the starting of the car   So...I have been to the dealer twice thusfar and no such luck on it being fixed (and right now it is sitting in my garage with a sad look on its face b/c i need to take it in again). The dealer has no idea what is going on by the way.   1st time i took it to dealer I had them check all the electrical draws and then replace the battery.   2nd time it happened I told them that they needed to check all the electrical draws again and this time they found an error in the central control module (the big brain for the TT) this was not good and cost me over a grande to fix.   I'll let you know what they "figure out" this time but I am not hopefull - I would reall appreciate anything you find on the subject as well!
