EXTERIOR LIGHTING
DRIVER'S SIDE LOW BEAM HEADLIGHT INTERMITTENTLY TURNS OFF OR ON BUT CURRENTLY IS PERMANENTLY OFF.HAVE RESEARCHED THE PROBLEM AND IT SEEMS TO BE QUITE COMMON AMONG 2000 TO 2003 TT OWNERS. WHEN TURNING ON THE HEADLIGHTS WITH THE SWITCH AT TIMES THEY WOULD GO ON IMMEDIATELY BUT MOSTLY I WOULD HAVE TO TURN THE SWITCH MANY TIMES BEFORE THE LIGHTS ON THE DRIVERS SIDE WOULD GO ON. TRIED REPLACING BULB BUT THAT IS NOT THE PROBLEM. IS THERE A RECALL ON THIS? HAVE SEEN THE MONEY PEOPLE HAVE SPENT TRYING TO REPAIR THIS AND STILL HAVING PROBLEMS AND IT IS UNFAIR TO TT OWNERS! HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO REPAIR IT SINCE 2007.

I AM REACHING OUT TO YOU AFTER OUR ATTEMPTS TO REACH A SATISFACTORY RESOLUTION TO OUR 2000 AUDI TT CONCERNS HAS NOT BEEN RESOLVED. I WILL SUMMARIZE OUR NEEDS/CONCERNS FOR YOU. WE PURCHASED OUR NEW 2000 AUDI TT IN 2000. WE HAVE HAD ALL REGULAR SERVICE AND REPAIRS DONE AT AN AUDI AUTHORIZED DEALER IN NORTH SCOTTSDALE, AZ AND BETWEEN 2005-2009, WHILE LIVING/WORKING FOR A SHORT-TERM IN SAN JOSE, CA. WE PUT MINIMAL MILES ON THIS VEHICLE AS A SECOND AUTOMOBILE. OUR CURRENT MILEAGE IS 82,000 MILES. IN 2005, AT 53,813 MILES, WE HAD REGULAR SERVICE PERFORMED AT STEVENS CREEK AUDI, IN SAN JOSE, CA. DURING THAT VISIT, WE STATED CONCERN OVER THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL'S WARNING OF A PROBLEM WITH OUR HEADLIGHTS, LOW BEAMS OR PARKING LIGHTS. THE TECHNICIAN REPLACED THE RUNNING LIGHT BULBS BUT THE PROBLEM WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL CONTINUED AND HAS BECOME INCREASINGLY WORSE WITH MORE FAILURES TO THIS DATE, SUCH AS THE GAS GAUGE DOES NOT OPERATE, THE DIGITAL READOUT IS DIFFICULT TO READ, ETC. WHEN WE INVESTIGATED THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CONCERN WITH OUR TECHNICIAN RECENTLY IN SCOTTSDALE, WE LEARNED, BY LOOKING ONLINE, OF THE CLASS ACTION LAWSUIT AND AUDI'S FREE REPAIR OFFER (SEE INFORMATION BELOW). WE HAD NO KNOWLEDGE OF THIS IN 2008 ' OTHERWISE, WE WOULD HAVE HAD THE REPAIR DONE IN THE TIMEFRAME GIVEN. WE HAVE ASKED OUR DEALER TO EXTEND THIS FREE REPAIR TO US IN LIGHT OF THE ABOVE, ESPECIALLY SINCE WE WERE EXPERIENCING PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL BEFORE AND DURING THIS TIME PERIOD NOTED ABOVE. WE HAVE NOT BEING ABLE TO GET THIS RESOLVED AND SO WE ARE HOPING THAT YOU WILL, AT YOUR CORPORATE LEVEL OF AUTHORITY, BE ABLE TO MEET OUR NEEDS. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME AND ATTENTION TO OUR REQUEST. [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6). *TR

I'VE EXPERIENCED ISSUES WHEN TRYING TO SHIFT GEARS, MOST RECENTLY WHEN PUTTING THE CAR IN REVERSE FROM DRIVE, THE DASHBOARD STARTED FLASHING AND IT LOST ALL POWER AS IF IT WERE DISENGAGED OR IN NEUTRAL. I TOOK THE CAR INTO A DEALER AS THIS IS A SAFETY ISSUE AND WAS TOLD THAT THERE WAS A RECALL ON THIS ISSUE FOR MY VIN ( CAMPAIGN 09V333000), BUT THAT IT HAD ALREADY BEEN REPAIRED PRIOR TO MY OWNERSHIP, WHICH DOES NOT SEEM TO BE THE CASE.

THE TRUNK RELEASE BUTTON DOES NOT ALWAYS WORK. THE DRIVER'S WINDOW SOMETIMES DOES NOT CLOSE UP WHEN DOOR IS CLOSED THEREBY CAUSING THE DASHBOARD TO SHOW THAT THE DOOR IS OPEN AND BEEPING OCCURS. I ALSO HAD TO HAVE THE RELEASE FOR THE GAS CAP DISCONNECTED DUE TO NOT BEING ABLE TO RELEASE GAS CAP.

CLUNK AND NOISE FROM DSG TRANSMISSION WHEN ACCELERATE FROM STOP IN D POSITION OR FROM 2ND TO 1ST GEAR FOR SLOWING DOWN. I THINK IT IS MECHATRONIC ISSUES FOR THOSE YEAR VW AUDI DSGS. IT'S OUT OF WARRANTY BUT STILL CAN BE COVERED BY RECALL?

ENGINE, VEHICLE SPEED CONTROL
ONE MORNING STARTED UP THE ENGINE ON MY AUDI, AND THE ENGINE SOUNDED LIKE IT HAD ROUGH IDLING, STUTTERING SOUND TO IT. I HAD TOOK IT FOR A TEST DRIVE AND EXPERIENCED LACK OF POWER, HESITATION IN ENGINE, ROUGH IDLING, AND THEN CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON. CHECKED OUT THE CODE. IT CAME UP TO BE (P0304) CYLINDER 4 MISFIRE. I TOOK IT TO A MECHANIC, AND HE REPLACED SPARK PLUGS, COIL PACKS. THE PROBLEM STILL EXISTED. HE HAD CHECKED THE COMPRESSION. IT WAS GOOD. CHECK ALL WIRES, SENORS...ECT. ANYTHING HE COULD THINK OF AND IT ALL CHECKED OUT GOOD. TIMING BELT AND WATER PUMP WAS REPLACED COUPLE MONTHS BEFORE THIS PROBLEM EXISTED. THE PROBLEM ONLY EXISTS WHEN THE ENGINE IS COLD. ONCE YOU WARM UP THE ENGINE, RESTART THE CAR, AND IT DRIVES PERFECTLY FINE! ENGINE COOLS DOWN, AND ROUGH IDLING, LACK OF POWER AND ALL THE COMES BACK AGAIN. THE MECHANIC DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THE PROBLEM COULD BE.

MY 2003 AUDI TT QUATTRO HAS AN INTERMITTENT HEADLIGHT, HAVE TRIED NUMEROUS TIMES REPLACING THE BULB AS WELL AS SWITCH. AFTER LOOKING AT NUMEROUS POSTS, IT IS CLEAR THAT THIS IS A HUGE FAULT BY THE MANUFACTURER OF HEADLIGHT FAILURE. IN MY STATE YOU GET A TICKET FOR A SINGLE LIGHT OUT (NY) AND THIS HEADLIGHT FAILS INTERMITTENTLY EITHER WHEN AT 0MPH OR 60MPH. HUGE SAFETY CONCERN ESPECIALLY IF DRIVING AT NIGHT OR IN THE RAIN, ON TOP OF THE TRAFFIC VIOLATIONS.

POWER TRAIN
THE FIRST WEEK OF DEC 2014, I HAD BEEN HEARING A SPORADIC, WHOOTING NOISE FROM THE FLOOR OF MY AUDI TT 2004 (49,000 MILES). I BROUGHT MY VEHICLE INTO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/05/14. ASIDE FROM SOME OTHER NON-CRITICAL REPAIRS, THE DEALERSHIP COULD NOT FIND A CAUSE FOR THE NOISE AND IT WAS RELEASED. AS I WAS DRIVING THE VEHICLE BACK TO THE DEALERSHIP ON 12/12/14 TO PICK UP MY OTHER VEHICLE, I HAD SIGNIFICANT ISSUES. I WAS DRIVING ALONG NORTH AVE AT 35 - 40 MPH IN RUSH-HOUR TRAFFIC. AS I WAS DRIVING, THE VEHICLE SUDDENLY SHIFTED INTO NEUTRAL AND BEGAN TO RAPIDLY SLOW. IN AN EFFORT TO AVOID A SERIOUS REAR-END COLLISION, I QUICKLY ENGAGED THE HAZARD LIGHTS AND SLOWED TO A STOP. ONCE STOPPED, I SHIFTED INTO PARK (NOT CERTAIN IF IT ACTUALLY SHIFTED TO PARK AT THIS POINT), SHUT OF THE ENGINE, AND RE-STARTED. FORTUNATELY, THE VEHICLE MADE IT SAFELY TO THE DEALERSHIP WITHOUT ANOTHER INCIDENT THAT DAY. THE FOLLOWING WEEK ON 12/15/14, THE DEALER RAN DIAGNOSTICS ON THE VEHICLE. THEY NOTED A FAULT IN THE TRANSMISSION, BUT COULD NOT DETERMINE THE CAUSE AND AFTER RUNNING 10 MILES, NOTED THAT IT WAS RUNNING WELL. IN AN EFFORT TO CONTINUE TROUBLESHOOTING, THE DEALER USED MY VEHICLE TO RUN ERRANDS. AS THEY TURNED ONTO OGDEN AVE (WESTMONT, IL), THEY HAD THE SAME PROBLEM WITH THE VEHICLE SHIFTING SPONTANEOUSLY INTO NEUTRAL. I DO NOT KNOW THE FULL DETAILS OF THAT INCIDENT, BUT CAN IMAGINE IT WAS ALSO A CLOSE CALL AS OGDEN AVE IS A BUSY, FOUR-LANE ROAD. THE OFFICIAL DIAGNOSIS WAS THAT IT NEEDS A MECHATRONICS UNIT REPLACEMENT. I AM GRATEFUL THAT THIS INCIDENT DID NOT HAPPEN ON THE HIGHWAY AND THAT I WAS NOT DRIVING IN FRONT OF A MORE AGGRESSIVE DRIVER (WHO MAY HAVE OTHERWISE COLLIDED WITH MY VEHICLE). I BELIEVE THIS IS A SERIOUS SAFETY CONCERN AS IT OCCURS WHILE THE VEHICLE IS IN MOTION, IT OCCURS ON A SPORADIC BASIS, AND IT IS EVIDENTLY UNDETECTABLE AT THE DEALERSHIP. *TR
