2000 AUDI TT Electrical System Problems

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...

HEADLIGHT IGNITOR FAILS CAUSING HEADLIGHT LOW BEAM TO WORK INTERMITTENTLY.

DASH POD MALFUNCTION. DOES NOT REGISTER SPEED, TACHOMETER, FUEL OR TEMPERATURE. ALL DASH LIGHT INTERMITTENTLY WORK. *TR

I OWN A 2000 AUDI TT AND THE AUDI DEALER SERVICE CONFIRMS THAT THE TT'S INSTRUMENT PANEL HAS AN INTERNAL PROBLEM WHICH REQUIRES REPLACEMENT OF THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT A COST ESTIMATE OF $1193.13. THE TT HAS A KNOWN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE PROBLEM AND AUDI HAS PROVIDED RELIEF TO OWNERS REGARDING THE INSTRUMENT FAILURE IN BOTH THE UK AND THE US. THE CAR HAS LESS THAN 75,000 MILE ON IT AND INSTRUMENT FAILURE AT THIS LOW MILEAGE IS UNACCEPTABLE. AUDI SAYS THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND THEY WOULD DO NOTHING, WHICH SEEMS LIKE A RIDICULOUS RESPONSE AS THE PROBLEMS AFFECTS THE SPEEDOMETER AND SAFETY WARNING LIGHTS. THE INSTRUMENT PANEL CAN ONLY BE REPLACED BY THE DEALER TO PRESERVE AUTO SETTINGS. THIS TYPE OF SAFETY DEFECT SHOULD BE THE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE MANUFACTURER. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN MY AUDI TT IS FAULTY. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ACCURATE FUEL GAUGE, ENGINE SPEED, VEHICLE SPEED, AND ENGINE TEMPERATURE READINGS. IT DOES NOT PROVIDE ANY RELIABLE, ACCURATE INFORMATION IN REGARDS TO THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IS BROKEN. SPEEDOMETER WILL NOT WORK. SOMETIMES TACHOMETER WILL NOT WORK. I WAS TOLD THIS IS A RECURRING PROBLEM WITH THESE CARS. HAS BEEN BROKEN OFF AND ON FOR THREE YEARS, BUT RECENTLY HAS GOTTEN WORSE. *TR

THE INSTRUMENT PANEL WAS DEFECTIVE. THERE WAS NO ILLUMINATION. THE DRIVER WAS NOT ABLE TO TELL HOW FAST SHE GOING, OR HOW MUCH FUEL WAS AVAILABLE. THE CONSUMER CONTACTED THE MANUFACTURER AND WAS WAITING FOR A RESPONSE FROM THEM. PROVIDE FURTHER DETAILS. *JB

WHILE DRIVING ABOUT ANY SPEED DASHBOARD WILL GO OUT WITHOUT ANY POWER ON IT.ALSO, RADIO WILL NOT WORK/ SOMETIMES HOOD WILL NOT OPEN, AND VEHICLE WILL LOSE POWER.*AK
