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: 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)

Replying to: Mr_Shiftright (Feb 08, 2008 9:01 am) Hey there.   Did you ever figure out what was wrong with it? I have the same problem but bit more complicated. The trunk, gas lid and the convertible top won't work as well as some of the inside lights.   I have had the alternator changed in the past and have had problems with the battery draining too fast.   Thanks!   rob Replies to this message: joice2800 (May 30, 2008 11:51 am) MsAATT (Feb 10, 2009 6:17 pm) bertola (Jul 02, 2009 7:27 am)

#42 of 58 Dashpod problems by gbtaylor Sep 24, 2008 (12:04 pm)
After fitting a new battery to my 2001 TT, the next morning when the key was turned the needles on the dashpod kept flickering for about two minutes and then stopped. After resetting the time etc. it was okay for the rest of the day but now this happens every morning.
#43 of 58 instrument cluster problems by digitoo Oct 14, 2008 (6:50 am)
For those of you that have had problems with your instrument cluster going bad and giving you false readings such as the gas gauge not reading correctly, false codes, etc, you are not alone. I had problems too with my gas gauge not reading properly after I bought a used 2001 Audi TT quatro roadster. I bought it in 2004 with 57,000 miles and less than a year later the gas gauge started acting irradically. I took it in to my mechanic who works on European import cars and he tested the fuel tank sender, etc (also my ABS and another warning light would come on and off sporadically). He suspected the cluster and said I had to go to the dealer (2-1/2 hrs away) to have it repaired and it would cost at least 1,000 or more to fix. That was more than I wanted to spend so I just used my trip meter to gauge my fuel and never went more than 300 miles without filling up. Then earlier this year I got a notice from Audi saying that there was a lawsuit against them and in order to settle the suit, Audi would replace the instrument cluster if your car had a certain vehicle ID# ending in XXXXX and your car was under 5 years from when it was put into service and you could prove that your cluster was bad. They would reimburse those who paid to have the cluster replaced and for those who had proof that the cluster was bad within those perameters, they would allow you to go to an Audi dealer and have your cluster replaced. I sent them proof of my cluster being suspected of being faulty and a few months later Audi sent me a letter to have my car fixed within 45 days. I took my car into the Audi dealership, thinking they were the experts and knew how to fix it, but I've had nothing but problems (more than before) since they put in the new cluster. My mechanic feels they did not clear the fault codes before putting in and programming the new cluster because my ABS and other warning light still come on and off at will. My fuel gauge even gave me a false reading on day. I was at a 1/2 tank and when I drove to the store and got back in my car it read between 1/2 and 3/4, then I drove to the next store and when I got back in it read 3/4. So far that has been the only time it did that, but the temp gauge reads anywhere from 1/2 (normal) to the line just to the left of it (2nd line) or sometimes just a little bit under the 2nd line. Audi has bad customer service when it comes to complaining about their work and want to pin it on anything but the new cluster. Anyway, the whole point is that Audi is replacing the faulty clusters (they did admit to using faulty clusters in their cars 2000 -2005) so I would suggest you google Audi instrument cluster lawsuit to see if you can get reimbursed or have your car fixed.
