2001 AUDI TT Electrical System Instrument Clusterpanel Problems

PURCHASED THE CAR NEW IN 2001, THE AIRBAG LIGHT STARTED COMING ON INTERMITTENTLY IN 2003 HAD THE CLUSTER REPLACED IN 2004 (15K MILES) UNDER WARRANTY, SHORTLY AFTER IT WAS REPAIRED THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN INTERMITTENTLY FOR ANOTHER 2 YEARS UNTIL IT STAYED ON PERMANENTLY. I BROUGHT IT BACK TO ANOTHER DEALER THEY RESET SOMETHING AND THE AIRBAG LIGHT WENT OUT AGAIN FOR ABOUT A YEAR. IN 2010 I BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AGAIN FOR A CLUSTER RECALL, THEY REPLACED THE CLUSTER ALL WAS FINE THEN ABOUT A YEAR LATE THE AIRBAG LIGHT CAME ON AGAIN. BROUGHT IT BACK TO THE DEALER AND WAS TOLD IT WAS THE AIRBAG MODULE. SPENT $1500 TO HAVE THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED ( THINK THIS WAS THE ISSUE ALL ALONG). AFTER HAVING THE AIRBAG MODULE REPLACED THE SEAT BELT LIGHT NO LONGER COMES ON. WAS TOLD IT IS THE CLUSTER. THE...

THIRD INSTRUMENT CLUSTER ON A 2001 AUDI TT ROADSTER. FUEL GAUGE AT FIRST SHOWED TOO MUCH FUEL. AFTER A NEW CLUSTER THE FUEL GAUGE SHOWS LOW WHEN ITS NOT. APPARENTLY THE SENDING UNIT IS THE CAUSE BUT AUDI IS IGNORANT OF THE ISSUE AND DOES NOT HAVE A REPAIR SOLUTION. I DARE SAY AUDI DOES NOT CARE ABOUT ITS CARS, THEIR PROBLEMS AND THEIR CUSTOMERS. *TR

I HAVE A 2001 AUDI TT. I BOUGHT IT THREW A DEALERSHIP OUT OF STATE ONLINE. WENT AND PICK IT UP AND WAS FINE BUT A COUPLE OF WEEKS WENT BY AND STARTED HAVING PROBLEMS WITH INSTRUMENT PANEL NO GAS GAUGE SPEEDOMETER TEMPERATURE GAUGE OR DASH LIGHTS. THEY WILL GO OUT JUST RIDING UP THE ROAD AND DOES IT MORE SINCE ITS COLDER WEATHER SO I STARTED LOOKING IN TO THIS MATTER AND THIS IS A MAJOR PROBLEM WITH AUDI AND I THINK THEY SHOULD MAKE THIS RIGHT AND PLUS ITS A MAJOR SAFETY ISSUE TO ME THANK YOU FOR YOUR ASSISTANCE IN THIS MATTER. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DIGITAL DISPLAY HAS FADED OUT AND IS NOT DISPLAYING TOP TWO SECTIONS OF THE DIGITAL READOUT. TACHOMETER HAS FAILED. FAILURE CAUSES INABILITY TO READ THE WARNING LIGHTS, SUCH AS LOW OIL, HIGH TEMPERATURE, ETC. I HAVE PURCHASED AN INSTRUMENT CLUSTER AT A COST OF $650, AND WILL SOON BE PAYING $225 TO GET IT INSTALLED. I AM FRUSTRATED WITH AUDI FOR NOT ISSUING A RECALL ON THIS UNIT. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER COMPONENT FAILURE. CENTER INFORMATION DISPLAY MISSING MANY PIXELS MAKING DISPLAYED TEXT AND IMAGES HARD TO DISTINGUISH. BECAUSE OF THIS FAILURE, IT CAN BE HARD TO DISTINGUISH THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN CERTAIN INFORMATIONAL SYMBOLS SUCH AS A BRAKE PROBLEM OR A TAIL LIGHT OUT. I HAD A SYMBOL COME ON THE DISPLAY BUT I COULD NOT TELL IF IT DISPLAYED BECAUSE OF A PROBLEM WITH MY BRAKES OR TAIL LIGHTS AS A RESULT OF THE FAILURE OF THE CENTER DISPLAY. THIS COULD HAVE CAUSE A SAFETY ISSUE. RPM TACHOMETER STICKS ON COLD START AS WELL. *TR

THE 2001 AUDI TT QUATTRO WE OWN RUNS OUT OF GAS BEFORE THE GAS GAUGE REGISTERS AN HALF TANK. THE COMPUTERIZED DASH COMPONENTS DON'T WORK, EITHER. *TR

2001 AUDI TT ROADSTER 1.8T. THE TACHOMETER IN THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER DOES NOT FUNCTION, THE NEEDLE IS STUCK ON ZERO AND DOES NOT GAUGE RPM WHEN VEHICLE IS IN USE. THE AUDI DEALER IN SAN ANTONIO TX (CAVENDER AUDI) STATES THAT THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PANEL NEEDS TO BE REPLACED...TOTAL COST 700 DOLLARS FOR PARTS AND 150 DOLLARS LABOR. THE CAR HAD A TOTAL OF 38,800 MILES ON THE ODOMETER WHEN THIS PROBLEM OCCURRED. CURRENTLY IT HAS 39,350 MILES. *TR

CAR SHOWS 1/4 OF FUEL IN TANK WHEN TANK IS COMPLETELY EMPTY CAUSING ME TO RUN OUT OF GAS MULTIPLE TIMES IN HAZARDOUS SITUATIONS. I CAN NOT READ THE LCD SCREEN SO I CAN NOT SEE ANY WARNING LIGHTS (GAS, OIL CHANGE, TRUNK OPEN, ETC). MY INSTRUMENT CLUSTER TELLS ME THAT MY VEHICLE IS CONSTANTLY OVERHEATING, WHICH IS FALSE. SOMETIMES WHEN I TURN MY LIGHTS ON THE DASHBOARD WILL NOT LIGHT UP, NOR WILL IT REGISTER MY RPMS OR EVEN MY SPEED. IF I CAN NOT READ MY SPEED OR EVEN SEE IF I HAVE GAS, THEN I AM NOT SAFE DRIVING THIS VEHICLE. THE CLUSTER HAS NOW FAILED COMPLETELY, WHICH PREVENTED MY CAR FROM EVEN STARTING SO I HAD TO GET IT TOWED TO THE DEALERSHIP. FURTHER MORE, AUDI HAS REFUSED TO FULLY PAY FOR THIS ITEM TO BE REPLACED EVEN THOUGH IT HAS BEEN RECALLED! OUTRAGEOUS. *TR

CAR RAN OUT OF GAS AND ROLLED TO STOP IN MID-TRAFFIC - GAS GAUGE READ 1/4 TANK REMAINING. FURTHER RESEARCH FOUND THAT AUDI TT MODEL YEAR 2001 AND LATER HAVE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS GIVING WRONG GAS CONTENT, SPEEDOMETER AND RPM INDICATIONS. POSES HAZARD AS VEHICLE MAY BECOME SUDDENLY INOPERABLE. *TR

THE CONTACT ALSO NOTICED THAT THE FUEL GAUGE INDICATOR DISPLAYED 1/4 TANK; HOWEVER, THE VEHICLE WAS OUT OF FUEL A FEW MILES LATER. SHE RECEIVED A CLASS ACTION LETTER INDICATING THAT THE SPEEDOMETER AND FUEL GAUGE WERE NOT OPERATING NORMALLY AND COULD DISPLAY INACCURATE READINGS. THE DEALER AND MANUFACTURER STATED THAT THE CLASS ACTION SUIT DOES NOT APPLY TO THE VEHICLE SINCE IT IS BEYOND THE SEVEN YEAR PERIOD. THE APPROXIMATE FAILURE MILEAGE WAS 5,000 AND APPROXIMATE CURRENT MILEAGE WAS 100,000. UPDATED 6/2/08 *CN UPDATED 05/30/08

FAILURE OF GAS GAUGE AND ULTIMATE FAILURE OF INSTRUMENT CLUSTER IN 2001 AUDI TT. LOST POWER ON VERY BUSY HIGHWAY IN A HEAVY SNOWSTORM, LUCKILY WAS ABLE TO GET TO SHOULDER. HAD TO BE TOWED. GAS GAUGE INDICATED ONE-HALF TANK OF GAS, BUT TURNS OUT TANK WAS EMPTY. GAUGE NEVER OPERATED PROPERLY AFTER THAT. SEVERAL WEEKS LATER, RECEIVED NOTICE OF CLASS ACTION NOTING SIMILAR INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURES IN THIS TYPE OF CAR, AND EXTENSION OF WARRANTY TO 6 YEARS. UNFORTUNATELY MY CAR HAS BEEN IN SERVICE 7.5 YEARS AND IS NOT COVERED BY THE EXTENSION SO I WILL BE PERSONALLY LIABLE FOR THE $1,000 COST FOR REPAIR FOR THIS KNOWN PROBLEM. *TR

INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE - REQUIRED REPLACEMENT OF PART, PAID OUT OF POCKET - NOT COVERED BY WARRANTY. *TR

2001 AUDI TT PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PROBLEMS WITH THE INSTRUMENT PANEL HAVE GROWN PROGRESSIVELY WORSE AFFECTING THE SAFETY OF THE OPERATION OF THE VEHICLE. *KB THE FUEL AND TEMPERATURE GAUGES NO LONGER FUNCTIONED AND THE LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY WORKED ERRATICALLY AND DID NOT ALWAYS DISPLAY READABLE INFORMATION. ADDITIONALLY, THE SPEEDOMETER AND TACHOMETER FUNCTIONED ONLY SPORADICALLY, PROVIDING NO WAY TO DEPENDABLY MONITOR ENGINE OR VEHICLE SPEED. *JB

MY CAR HAS HAD A LOW OIL PRESSURE LIGHT COMING ON FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS, AND IT'S OCCURRING WITH MORE FREQUENCY. THE LIGHT ONLY COMES ON WHEN I TAKE MY CAR OUT OF GEAR AND PUT IT IN NEUTRAL WHILE SLOWING DOWN OR WHILE WAITING AT A STOP LIGHT. AFTER TAKING IT TO THREE DIFFERENT AUDI DEALERS, I HAVE HAD MULTIPLE ANSWERS AS TO THE PROBLEM. SEVERAL HUNDRED DOLLARS LATER, MY LIGHT STILL COMES ON AND NOTHING HAS BEEN FIXED. EVEN MORE RECENTLY AND JUST TO TOP IT OFF, MY INSTRUMENT PANEL CLUSTER HAS BLOWN. SO FAR, IT'S JUST THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE, FUEL GAUGE, LED DISPLAY, AND A WARNING LIGHT THAT TRIGGERS ONE OF MY HEADLIGHTS TO TURN OFF, BUT FROM WHAT I'VE READ ONLINE, THE SPEEDOMETER IS SOON TO FOLLOW. THERE HAS BEEN A RECALL IN THE UK FOR THIS, BUT AUDI USA WON'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT....

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...

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

2001 AUDI TT 4 TRANSMISSIONS FAILURES, OVERHEATING, THERMOSTAT FAILS EVERY 60K, ENGINE PLASTIC PARTS DEGRADING, ALTERNATOR FAILURE, ENGINE HEAD FAILED REQUIRED REPLACEMENT, VARIOUS INTERIOR TRIM PROBLEMS (E.G. BROKEN STEREO COVER, GLOVE COMPARTMENT HANDLE WHEN LEFT IN HEAT WITH CLOSED WINDOWS), INSTRUMENT CLUSTER REPLACED, FAILED AGAIN WILL NEED REPLACEMENT FUEL GAUGE READS FULL ALL THE TIME, ENGINE VACUUM LEAKS, ETC...ETC... *TR

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

THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILED AND I WAS STRANDED AND UNABLE TO OPERATE MY CAR. THIS FAILURE DISABLED MY ABILITY TO START MY ENGINE. *TR

2001 AUDI TT ROADSTER INSTRUMENT CLUSTER PROBLEMS. CONSUMER STATES THAT THE PROBLEMS HAVE PROGRESSED SINCE 2005 WHEN THEY ORIGINATED. HE ALSO STATES THAT THE VEHICLE NOW HAS PERFORMANCE PROBLEMS DUE TO THE INSTRUMENT PANEL. *KB THE TEMPERATURE GAUGE IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE FAR RIGHT AND STAYED THERE; THE INDICATOR LIGHT FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG CAME ON, THE OIL ALERT LIGHT CAME ON RANDOMLY AND THE ENGINE LIGHT CAME ON CONTINUOUSLY. *JB

TL*THE CONTACT OWNS A 2001 AUDI TT QUATTRO. THE CONTACT STATED THAT HE HAS A FAULTY COMPUTER CHIP IN THE GAUGE CLUSTER OF HIS VEHICLE. THE DEALER INFORMED HIM THAT THERE WAS A RECALL IN THE EUROPEAN MARKET, BUT NOT IN THE UNITED STATES. THE DEALER STATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO PAY $2,000 FOR THE REPAIR PLUS $300 FOR A DIAGNOSTIC. THE CURRENT AND FAILURE MILEAGES WERE 83,000.

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

THE GAS GAUGE HAS NOT WORKED PROPERLY SINCE THE VEHICLE WAS NEW. THE ENTIRE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WAS REPAIRED BY AUDI WHILE THE VEHICLE WAS UNDER WARRANTY AND IN THE SHOP ON 3 OTHER OCCASIONS FOR THE SAME THING. NOW THE CAR IS OUT OF WARRANTY AND AUDI WILL NOT COVE THE PROBLEM. AUDI IS COVERING A LIKE PROBLEM OUT OF WARRANTY IN THE UK, BUT WILL NOT HONOR OUT OF WARRANTY PROBLEMS IN THE US. IT IS VERY WELL KNOW THAT THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH THE FUEL GAUGE IN THIS VEHICLE WHICH IS A SERIOUS SAFETY ISSUE. *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

ALTHOUGH THIS PROBLEM IS ACKNOWLEDGED BY AUDI UK (HTTP://WWW.BBC.CO.UK/CONSUMER/TV_AND_RADIO/WATCHDOG/REPORTS/TRANSPORT/TRANSPORT_20060124.SHTML) THEY REFUSE TO REMEDY THE ISSUE IN THE UNITED STATES. *NM

CAR HAD 37,000 MILES ON IT. INSTRUMENT CLUSTER FAILURE RESULTED IN AN INABILITY TO READ VEHICLE SPEED, ENGINE SPEED, ENGINE TEMPERATURE AND FUEL LEVEL. REPLACEMENT CLUSTER WAS ACQUIRED AT MY EXPENSE AND INSTALLED AT MY EXPENSE. OLD CLUSTER IS AVAILABLE, HOWEVER I DO NOT WANT TO GIVE IT UP. THIS IS SUCH A COMMON PROBLEM THAT A REPAIR INDUSTRY FOR THESE INSTRUMENT CLUSTERS HAS CROPPED UP. I INTEND TO HAVE THE OLD ONE REPAIRED FOR THE NEXT TIME THE FAILURE OCCURS. *JB
