ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I HAVE A FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON MY AUDI TT 2001 ROASTER. THIS PART CONTROLS THE TACHOMETER, ODOMETER, SPEEDOMETER, FUEL GAUGE, TEMPERATURE GAUGE AND ALL THE WARNING LIGHTS FOR OIL PRESSURE, COOLANT LEVELS, ETC. THIS IS ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS FOR THE SAFETY OF THE VEHICLE. THIS IS THE SECOND INSTRUMENT CLUSTER THAT HAS HAD TO BE REPLACED IN THE VEHICLE. THE INITIAL CLUSTER WAS FAULTY AND DISPLAYED INACCURATE GAS GAUGE READINGS, IT WAS REPLACED IN 2002/3. MY CURRENT INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS DISPLAYING INACCURATE TEMPERATURE READINGS. I HAVE REVIEWED INFORMATION ON WEBSITES (EDMUNDS CARE SPACE AT EDMUNDS.COM; AUDI TT CAR CLUB AT AUDITTCCA.COM, ETC.), AND UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VERY COMMON PROBLEM. AUDI UK RECALLED THIS COMPONENT ON THE 2001 AUDI TT AND HAVE AGREED TO COVER ALL PREVIOUS COSTS OF REPAIR. A CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT HAS BEEN FILED IN CALIFORNIA REGARDING THIS PROBLEM (WWW.CLASSCOUNSEL.COM/NEWS/AUDI.HTML). I HAVE SPOKEN WITH AUDI USA AND THE DEALER AND THEY ARE NOT WILLING TO COMPLETELY PAY FOR THIS REPETITIVE REPAIR. THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH THE AUDI TT AND THIS NEEDS TO BE ADDRESSED WITH AUDI USA. THE CONSUMER STATED THIS WILL BE HIS THIRD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. UPDATED*JB

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL, ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY
2002 AUDI TT HAD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED @41,000 MILES WHEN I BOUGHT THE CAR IN JANUARY 2007. RECENTLY, THE BATTERY WENT DEAD AFTER SITTING 5 DAYS. WHEN IT WAS RESTARTED AND THE BATTERY RECHARGED, THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS ACTING UP AGAIN. I UNDERSTAND THAT THIS IS A VERY NORMAL OCCURRENCE IN THESE CARS. THE PROBLEM CAN (AND HAS) CAUSED THE SPEEDOMETER TO STOP WORKING. THERE IS NOW 45,00 MILES ON THIS CAR. *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
I'VE RAN OUT OF GAS TWICE WHILE DRIVING DUE TO A FAULTY GAS GAUGE ON THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER OF MY 2001 AUDI TT. I HAD PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER BEFORE AND IT WAS REPLACED UNDER WARRANTY, NOW IT HAS GONE BAD AGAIN AND I'M OUT OF WARRANTY.... THIS SEEMS TO BE A COMMON PROBLEM AS THERE IS A "CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT" PENDING TOO, HOWEVER NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE BY AUDI OR VW TO REMEDY THESE FAULTY INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS.... THANK YOU *TR

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: INSTRUMENT CLUSTER/PANEL
THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER GOES ON THE BLINK AND DOESN'T WORK EFFICIENTLY. SINCE IT PROVIDES FALSE READINGS, THE OPERATOR HAS TO GAUGE SPEED, FUEL CAPACITY, AND DEAL WITH EMERGENCY ACTIONS DURING ENGINE FAILURE WHILE DRIVING UNDER HEAVY TRAFFIC CONDITIONS. THIS ACTION IS A SURE CAUSE FOR UNSAFE VEHICLE OPERATION. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ALSO DISABLES THE ELECTRICAL SYSTEM TO KEEP THE ENGINE OPERATING AND CAUSES THE CAR TO TURN OFF UNEXPECTEDLY. THE GAUGE CLUSTER WAS REPLACED TWICE WITHIN THE LIFE OF THE CAR. ONCE IN 2002 AND 2005. THIS IS THE THIRD CLUSTER GONE BAD. *TR

VISIBILITY
AUDI 2008 TT. THE SIDE VIEW MIRRORS DO NOT GO OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SAFELY SEE THE ROAD. I WAS TOLD BE THE DEALER THEY WERE NORMAL. I OWN 4 OTHER AUDI'S THAT DO NOT HAVE THE SAME PROBLEM. I HAVE BEEN TOLD THIS FROM 2 DIFFERENT DEALERS. I EXPLAINED THAT IF THEY DID NOT PUT THE MIRRORS ON THE CAR SO THEY COULD MOVE OUT FAR ENOUGH TO SEE, IT WAS NOT ALWAYS CORRECT. THEY DID NOT LISTEN TO MY COMPLAINT. I THINK THEY HAVE THEM ALL MOUNTED WRONG SO THEY LEAVE MOST OF THE LANE NEXT TO YOU, ESPECIALLY ON THE RIGHT SIDE. *TR

2002 AUDI TT ROADSTER WITH INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT INSTRUMENT PANEL PROBLEMS HAVE ESCALATED TO SERIOUS OPERATIONAL PROBLEMS. *NJ THE CONSUMER STATED THE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY HAS FAILED AND DID NOT INDICATE READABLE INFORMATION. THERE WAS NO WAY OF KNOWING THE LEVEL OF FUEL IN THE VEHICLE OR THE ENGINE OPERATING TEMPERATURE. THE DISPLAY PIXELS DID NOT ILLUMINATE, SO IT WAS IMPOSSIBLE TO UNDERSTAND THE WARNINGS THAT WERE BEING DISPLAYED. *JB

NORMAL OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE, INCLUDING START UP, RUNNING VEHICLE ON FAIRLY HOT OR COLD DAYS LEADS TO A FAILURE OF THE CENTRAL DIGITAL OF THE DISPLAY. FURTHERMORE, THE ANALOG GAUGE CLUSTER IS NOT ACCURATE, COOLANT GAUGE READS VERY HOT ERRONEOUSLY AT ALL TIMES (THOUGH ACTUALLY COOLANT TEMPS DETERMINED BY OTHER MEANS SHOW THAT VEHICLE IS AT NORMAL OPERATING TEMPERATURES). FUEL GAUGE RESPONDS ERRATICALLY, FAILS TO ACCURATELY REGISTER AMOUNT OF FUEL LEFT. TACHOMETER READINGS SEEM TO FLUXATE OCCASIONALLY IN ERR. *TR
