Dashboard Failed Problems of Audi TT

The vehicle has been in for replacement for the digital cluster, thermostat and cooling pump. Then I replaced the cluster for the first time 9/2011. Same day after putting in the new cluster the dealership stated it was defective because the fuel gauge would not function properly and replaced a few days later. The cluster was replaced again when the speedometer needle would not move and stayed below zero. On that same day I pick up the car and drove less than a mile and the digital cluster faded out to a blank screen. I turn around and took the car back to the dealership was inform that they will order another cluster and call me for the install which was done a few days later. Now the digital cluster is not making any warning sounds. When I press the button manually to see, if there are any problems it showed a service visit was coming up and the symbol to check the oil level and water pump. The service advisor stated this was normal to see which contradicts the car manual and another authorized dealer in a different state whom replace the cooling pump and thermostat. I took the car to the dealership and inform them that the cluster was not alarming for any services coming due or problems and the car now has a slight jerk forward when I press the brakes. There report stated differently like the car ran rough, the panel lights were flashing and the car sat for a long period of time. There diagnostic was the transmission needed to be replaced but the cluster was fine. When I pick up the car the service advisor stated the car was still in good shape no alarm except for the transmission and its was not that bad but after I got home and viewed the paperwork it showed every component on the vehicle inspection report needed further attention. I phoned the next day and the service advisor stated the technician may have made a mistake.

The car was having electrical problems, appear related to instrument cluster failure. I scheduled with Audi to evaluate faulty gas gauge and radio staying on after key removed. Anyhow, before I could get it into Audi, the car while driving jerked violently and then would not shift gears. It was lucky I was not going very fast as I was on windy roads with cliffs. I could have been seriously injured or dead had the car lost control. There have been recalls on the dsg and clutch assembly for my model car, but they don't show up on my record with Audi. The car then would not engage gears for a few restarts, suddenly it was fine and would drive but I had it towed due to risk factors and uncertainty. I believe these are related events and they tell me I need a new transmission. This car has only 45k miles and I'm not sure it is a mechanical failure at tall. It is strange that all of these events coincided and suspect problems with computer communication between tranny and instrument cluster. They are not helping me resolve this and denying instrument cluster problem. Saying there is nothing wrong but the gas gauge is not working and this is a classic sign of instrument cluster failure which led to the lawsuit.

I have a 2005 Audi Tt quattro roadster, purchased new in 2005. Have had dashboard instrument cluster failure - twice - in 2 years! fuel gauge fluctuations, coolant sensor malfunction (had to replace coolant sensor to the tune of over $400! just two months ago), radio turns itself on after I've exited the vehicle, etc. First time instrument cluster replaced under warranty. Car now has 50,000 miles and out of warranty. Additionally, intermittent headlight failure. Idiot light comes on, left front headlight out. Turn off lights, 5 - 10 seconds, turn back on, everything is fine. This also happened about 2 years ago, but on the passenger side. Both times, shop replaced headlight. Now new wrinkle - when shifting gears (2nd, 3rd, 4th, and occasionally 5th) up, rpm's rev, engine revs and it seems to whir before catching gears. Only when shifting up, never down. What's up? is all this an inherent electrical issue?.

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.

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.

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.

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.
