POWER TRAIN:AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION:CONTROL MODULE (TCM/PCM/TECM), POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY
VOLKSWAGEN OF AMERICA DBA AUDI OF AMERICA INITIATED A RECALL ON MY CAR, ALLEGING THERE WERE "DEFECTIVE WELDS" IN A SEAM ON THE CLUTCH. THE RECALL IS DOCUMENTED UNDER RECALL CAMPAIGN "JA". AUDI SENT ME NOTICE THAT THEY WERE GOING TO REPLACE THE CLUTCH. AUDI OF AMERICA SENT A NOTICE TO THEIR DEALERS PERFORMING THE RECALL WORK, THAT THERE WAS, "ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE ACTION" THEY WANTED PERFORMED TO THE CAR DURING THE RECALL. THEY DID NOT DISCLOSE THIS ACTION TO ME OR OBTAIN MY PERMISSION TO PERFOM THE "ADDITIONAL CORRECTIVE ACTION". WHEN MY CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE DEALER, APPARENTLY UNDER INSTRUCTION FROM AUDI OF AMERICA, DISABLED AN ELECTRONIC FEATURE OF THE CAR, ELECTRONIC LAUNCH CONTROL, THAT WAS OPERATING PRIOR TO TAKING THE CAR IN FOR THE RECALL. AUDI OF AMERICA AND THE DEALER DID THIS WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. AUDI OF AMERICA REFUSES TO RESTORE THE FEATURE TO THE CAR, OR PROVIDE ANY EXPLANATION JUSTIFYING THEIR ACTION.

BATTERY WAS DEAD. REPLACED BATTERY AND BY NEXT MORNING THE NEW BATTERY WAS DEAD. TURNS OUT THAT THE HEATED SEATS WERE SHORT CIRCUITING AND WAS DRAINING THE BATTERY EVEN WHEN SHUT OFF. DISCONNECTED THE FUSE. FOUND OUT THAT IN ORDER TO GET FIXED COULD COST IN EXCESS OF $1000 SINCE IT REQUIRES TAKING THE DASHBOARD APART. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
I PURCHASED AN AUDI TT WITH 40,000 MILES ON IT IN JANUARY OF 2004. IT BURNS 2 QUARTS OF OIL EVERY 800 MILES. AUDI IS UNABLE TO FIX THE PROBLEM AND IT HAS BEEN TO THE SHOP AT LEAST 15+ TIMES FOR THE SAME PROBLEM. NO ONE WILL HELP ME AND I NEVER HAVE MY CAR. THEY GIVE ME LOANERS UNTIL THEY CAN FIX IT, WHICH THEY HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DO IT 11 MONTHS. I NEED HELP AND HAVE NO WHERE ELSE TO TURN TO. PLEASE HELP! *NM

SEAT BELTS:FRONT:BUCKLE ASSEMBLY
I WAS GETTING INTO MY 2001 AUDI TT COUPE AND COULD NOT LATCH THE SEAT BELT INTO THE BUCKLE. AFTER WORKING WITH IT FOR SEVERAL MINUTES I FINALLY DROVE HOME AND REMOVED THE SEAT BELT LATCH AND TOOK IT APART. I DISCOVERED THAT A SMALL PLASTIC COMPONENT IN THE BUCKLE HAD BROKEN. I CALLED AUDI ABOUT THIS SINCE IT WAS A SAFETY ISSUE HOPING THAT THEY MIGHT HELP ME OUT WITH THE REPAIR. THEY INFORMED ME THAT SINCE THE WARRANTY HAD JUST RUN OUT THE REPAIR WOULD HAVE TO BE DONE AT MY EXPENSE. THEY TOLD ME THAT THEY CHARGE $110 FOR THIS PART. *JB

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
OIL CONSUMPTION OF VEHICLE IS VERY HIGH. FOR THE FIRST 30000 MILES OIL CONSUMPTION WAS NORMAL. NOW THE VEHICLE RUNS LOW ON OIL EVERY 3000 MILES. ADVISED BY AUDI THAT IT IS NORMAL FOR THE VEHICHLE TO BURN 1 QUART EVERY 1000 MILES, BUT AS STATED EARLIER, THIS DID NOT HAPPEN FOR THE FIRST 30000 MILES. ALSO ADVISED BY AUDI TO KEEP A QUART OF OIL IN MY TRUNK. NOTHING WAS DONE TO CORRECT THE ISSUE.*AK

FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
MY 2000 AUDI TT QUATTRO HAS A PROBLEM WITH ITS FUEL GAUGE WHERE IT SOMETIMES READS THAT THERE IS MOST OF A TANK OF GAS WHEN THE TANK IS NEARLY EMPTY. PROBLEM IS INTERMITTENT. I HAVE NOT RUN OUT OF GAS OR HAD AN ACCIDENT, BUT THIS SEEMS TO BE A POTENTIAL SAFETY HAZARD TO ME (THE CAR COULD RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT WARNING). ON AUDIWORLD.COM TT FORUMS, THERE ARE MANY REPORTS OF THIS SAME PROBLEM.*AK

ELECTRICAL SYSTEM:12V/24V/48V BATTERY, ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING, VISIBILITY:REARVIEW MIRRORS/DEVICES, VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
REASON FOR SERVICE CALL: NO HEAT DIAGNOSIS BY AUDI DEALER: INTERNAL SHORT IN A/C CONTROL HEAD ESTIMATE OF COST TO REPLACE THE A/C CONTROL HEAD- $900.00 I DENIED AUTHORIZATION FOR THE $900.00 REPAIR. WHEN THE CAR WAS RETURNED TO ME, THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM WOULD ONLY DELIVER HEAT AND AT A VERY HIGH TEMPERATURE. THERE WAS NO ADJUSTMENT OF TEMPERATURE NOR COULD THE SYSTEM BE SHUT DOWN. EVEN WHEN THE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM CONTROLS WERE SET IN AN OFF POSITION, HEAT CONTINUED TO TRICKLE THROUGH THE VENTS. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REPRESENTATIVE SUGGESTED THAT THIS PROBLEM WAS AN EXAMPLE OF ERRATIC ACTIVITY EXPECTED FROM A SHORT IN THE A/C CONTROL HEAD AND SAID I WOULD HAVE TO BEAR THE COST OF ANOTHER SERVICE CALL: $106.00 TO SHUT OFF THE HEAT OR SHUT DOWN THE ENTIRE CLIMATE CONTROL SYSTEM (AS I REQUESTED). I ARRANGED TO MEET WITH THE SERVICE MANAGER AND SERVICE FOREMAN THE FOLLOWING DAY. CLIMATE CONTROL WAS CHECKED VIA THE SCAN TOOL AND HAD MULTIPLE FAULTS RECORDED FOR FLAP MOTORS. ATTEMPT TO SET BASIC SETTINGS OF MOTORS WAS UNSUCCESSFUL; ALL MOTORS RECORDED FAULTS. SERVICE FOREMAN CONCLUDED THAT THE CLIMATE CONTROL HEAD WAS FAULTY. I CONSULTED WITH THE FOREMAN ON OPTIONS TO SHUT OFF HEAT TO THE CABIN AND AGREED TO HIS SUGGESTION TO REMOVE THE TEMP FLAP CONTROL MOTOR AND SET FLAP IN COOL POSITION. MOTOR AND ATTACHED PARTS HAVE BEEN STOWED BY OWNER FOR POSSIBLE REINSTALLATION AT A LATER DATE. SERVICE MANAGER AND I MADE A GENTLEMAN'S AGREEMENT TO SPLIT THE COST OF THE ADDITIONAL REPAIR. MY PORTION WAS $53.56. 2000 AUDI TT HAD A 3 YEAR WARRANTY. DUE TO EARLY RELEASE OF VEHICLE, I TOOK DELIVERY OF CAR IN JULY 1999. THE WARRANTY FOR THE 2001 MODEL WAS EXTENDED TO 4 YEARS.

VISIBILITY:POWER WINDOW DEVICES AND CONTROLS
I HAVE HAD INTERMITTENT WINDOW PROBLEMS SINCE I PURCHASED THE CAR. WINDOW DRIVERS WERE REPLACED ON THE DRIVERS SIDE AT 3000 MILES. THE WINDOWS STOPPED WORKING FOR SHORT TIMES EVER SINCE. THEY WERE INSPECTED AT 29,000 MILES . THE PASSENGER SIDE FAILED AT 35,000 MILES COSTING $374. I WAS NOTIFIED THE WINDOW GUIDES WERE THEN NOTICED TO BE CRACKED AND WILL NEED REPLACEMENT. THE DRIVER SIDE STOPPED WORKING AT 38,000 MILES AND WILL NO LONGER COME BACK. THIS SEEMS TO BE A INHERENT PROBLEM WITH VW AND AUDI DESIGN.

POWER TRAIN:CLUTCH ASSEMBLY:PEDAL/HAND LEVER(MOTORCYCLE)
VEHICLE WAS SITTING FOR ABOUT 2.5 HOURS ON A VERY COLD DAY (15 DEGREES). STARTED CAR AND LET VEHICLE WARM UP. THEN I STARTED HOME. AFTER APPROXIMATELY TEN MINUTES ON DRIVING IN TRAFFIC, I STARTED TO EXPERIENCE PROBLEMS WITH SHIFTING THE MANUAL TRANSMISSION. IT WAS VERY HARD TO GET THE CAR INTO ANOTHER GEAR. I FINALLY NOTICED THAT THE CLUTCH WAS NOT RETRACTING COMPLETELY. I HAD TO USE MY FOOT TO BRING THE PEDAL UP TO ITS NORMAL NON-DEPRESSED POSITION. *CB
