Replying to: hofeling (Feb 07, 2008 6:59 pm) Well if the car were in front of me, I'd by-pass the trunk button and see if the switch is bad, or if the circuit is even getting current, and if NO and NO, then pull each fuse and look at it and/or test it for continuity. This can't be that big a deal.   Now you know why when you go into Best Buy you don't see German electronics Replies to this message: hofeling (Feb 08, 2008 10:49 am) hofeling (Feb 08, 2008 10:55 am) kperess (Feb 09, 2008 1:23 pm) nospeakenglish (May 30, 2008 7:53 am) joice2800 (May 30, 2008 11:51 am) MsAATT (Feb 10, 2009 6:17 pm) bertola (Jul 02, 2009 7:27 am)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 08, 2008 9:01 am) I am going to do what you told me to when I get home today- I will check all of the fuses. Thank you

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 08, 2008 9:01 am) It may well be a broken wire in your door. I own A 2000 Passat and my fuel door was dead. Turned out to be a broken wire in the door, not the switch or the actuator.   Also, a few days later I had a total power failure -- couldn't start the car in the AM though I did have lights and dashboard. That turned out to be a corroded wire in the floor board harness -- they have allegedly fixed that in newer Passats as they are now shrink wrapping the wires in the harness to make them more waterproof.   Hope this helps.
#33 of 58 Wacko sensors by heymike Mar 24, 2008 (2:26 pm)
I bought my 2001 TT turbo roadster 96,000 miles ago in Ohio. I was "working on the road" for some of that time/miles, so got service in various states/dealerships. In 2005, the EPC warning light came on, along with a grating sound and feel. The local dealer's Audi diagnostic computer said defective YAW sensor, which was changed. Same problem reoccurred in 2006 +/- 13,000 miles later, with the grating/jerking of the car being so strong at times that it can pull the car left into the on-coming traffic==life-threatening problem!! For the SAME car problem, various Audi diagnostic computers have called for changing the yaw/rotation rate sensor 6 times (changed 4 times), MAF (changed twice), and control module (=central ABS brake computer, connected to Yaw and other sensors). Control module changed. All changes but one done at Audi dealers, I told all dealerships the same story, all claim top-quality work and parts, BUT THE PROBLEM CONTINUES. Audi corporate (AC) refuses to stand behind the dealership work done that has cost me thousands out of pocket, time, danger driving, frustration--"take it back to the last dealership if you think their workmanship was defective". I feel AC should accept that if all their computers/service techs/parts are top notch (yet fail quickly), then there must be something basically defective in this individual car that AC should correct or replace at their expense. We have spent HOURS on the phone with customer service people at AC--all to no avail. I'm open to options and advice. Replies to this message: slip180 (Apr 05, 2008 8:22 am)

Replying to: heymike (Mar 24, 2008 2:26 pm) I feel for you man, I have a 2001 225 Coupe and thankfully nothing major with it yet but it has only 65000k on it, what I would do is do major search on the internet and see if other people are having the same problem that you are, if you can prove it is a problem with the manufactoring of the car Audi normally dose something eg: timing belt they will pay for half of the repair if your timing belt gose and takes out your engine. Mabey drive with the ESP off for a bit by doing that you it might minimise how much the computer is checking the yaw sensors tho I am not sure, but warning she has a good amount of understeer if you take a some turns wrong, Other than that man good luck, I will ask a couple of my friends at Audi if this a known problem.
#35 of 58 Occasionally the ABS warning and ! light up on dash by kimvet Apr 06, 2008 (3:50 am)
'01 Audi TT with 15K miles (sunshine only car) will start with the standard lights on the dashboard phase (eg everything's "OK") After driving for a while, though not everytime, those two lights pop up on dash. Basically I've ignored them but it just seems odd. I know there are no issues with the ABS for example, and suppose the car should be seen Audi. It's just pretty odd to me. Have heard the '01 models have electrical issues. Replies to this message: kperess (May 13, 2008 11:29 am) majoroak1970 (Jan 05, 2009 3:46 pm)

Replying to: abutler (Dec 17, 2007 2:32 pm) Did you ever find out the cause of the battery drain problem with the TT? Replies to this message: joice2800 (May 15, 2008 2:43 pm)

Replying to: kimvet (Apr 06, 2008 3:50 am) It might well be a computer component. As Audi uses many of the same components as VW my experience with my '00 Passat may be of help. I kept getting an error regarding my ABS and it turned out to be a chip that dealt with the ABS -- was told that I might not want to keep driving without fixing as it could affect the ABS when needed most. The darned chip was not cheap -- cost over $500 but that's what you get when driving VWs and Audi's -- great handling and idiosyncratic repairs (BTW have owned many VW's, currently own an '00 and '04 Passat and am looking seriously at an '08 TT 2.0).   Hope this helps   Ken Replies to this message: majoroak1970 (Jan 05, 2009 3:46 pm)
