FUEL SYSTEM, OTHER:STORAGE:FUEL GAUGE SYSTEM
THE FUEL SENDING UNIT CAN OFTEN REPORT INCORRECT INFORMATION, CAUSING OWNERS TO OCCASIONALLY RUN OUT OF GAS WITHOUT PRIOR NOTICE. FUEL GAUGE HAS A TENDENCY TO JUMP FROM FULL TO EMPTY WITHIN MINUTES. AUDI HAS ALREADY RECALLED THEIR A6 MODEL FOR THE SAME DEFECT, YET DOES NOT WANT TO RECALL THE TT EVEN THOUGH THEY SHARE THE SAME PART NUMBER FOR THE FUEL SENDING UNIT AND EXHIBIT THE SAME PROBLEM. *TR

PROGRESSIVE FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER. GAS GAGE READING 3/4 OF A TANK HIGHER THAN REALITY. I RAN OUT OF GAS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. TACHOMETER AND SPEEDOMETER NO LONGER WORK. MAKES IT TOUGH TO PREDICT TURBO LAG. LOW POWER BEFORE TURBO KICKS IN AROUND 2200 RPM MAKES IT TOUGH TO PREDICT ACCELERATION OF CAR FROM STANDING START (SUCH AS LEFT TURN ACROSS A BUSY ROAD). TEMPERATURE GAGE READING HIGHER THAN ACTUAL ENGINE TEMPERATURE. UNABLE TO DETERMINE IF ENGINE MAY TRULY BE OVERHEATING. *TR

ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING
(1) EVENTS LEADING UP TO THE FAILURE OF MY TIMING BELT WERE NORMAL DRIVING CONDITIONS, IE NO SOUNDS, SMELLS, OR VISUAL DAMAGE. (2) ON 01/15/2007, MY TIMING BELT BROKE WHILE DRIVING. THE CONSEQUENCES ARE DAMAGE TO THE CYLINDER HEAD, AS WELL AS OTHER PARTS OF THE ENGINE. (3) LAST YEAR, AUDI CHANGED THE TIME/MILEAGE NEEDED IN ORDER TO CHANGE TIMING BELT FROM 106,000(AS STATED IN THE OWNER MANUAL, OF THE AUDI TT) TO 60,000-70,000, ACCORDING TO AN EMPLOYEE, I SPOKE WITH. I ASKED THE DEALERSHIP IF ANY NOTICES; MAIL, E-MAIL, OR PHONE, WERE SENT OUT, AND THEIR RESPONSE WAS, "NO. BECAUSE MANY CUSTOMER HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH TIMING BELTS BREAKING AT AN EARLY STAGE, WE LET THEM KNOW AS THEY COME IN FOR SERVICE." I FILED A COMPLAINT WITH THE DEPARTMENT OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS ON, 1/19/2007. AND ALSO CONTACTED AUDI OF AMERICA, IN WHICH, HAD ME TO PROVIDE THE ATTORNEY GENERALS OFFICE WITH MY AUTOMOBILES VIN NUMBER. *JB
