Audi TT Engine problems by year

I was informed about an engine component recall involving the water pump that was used when replacing the timing components at the vehicle's 100,000 mile service interval. The vehicle tends to start running a little over normal operating temperature while sitting still for more than 5-8 minutes after driving in weather over 60 degrees fahrenheit. The vehicle also runs at higher temperature than normal when driving in slower traffic (under 35mph) I believe the water pump used is part of the recall.

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...

Driving down the road and my car stopped running. All the battery-operated functions (lights, windows, etc.) Worked but the engine would not start. I had it towed to a repair shop that told me the timing belt broke while I was driving, destroying the engine. This was not listed in my manual under "scheduled maintenance" and every shop I called said the timing belt should not have gone out so soon. This is something I should not have even had to check for another 20,000 miles and it is ridiculous for me to have to...

The transmission slips violently between 2 nd and 3 rd gear. There was a complete loss of power with the pedal down completely. After research have discovered that the design of these triptonic transmissions which can be switched from manual to automatic are faulty and costly to repair. I am considering a valve body replacement which may or may not fix the problem. Audi does not stand behind their product. This is a common problem among audi owners. *Tr

Engine malfunction indicator lamp came on and engine lost power. *Tr

Audi tt 2002 dash pod recalled in ireland and britain. Interference and erratic performance with instrument gauges and lights. I am having same problem and vehicle only has 30k miles.

2003 Audi tt. Consumer states problem with instrument cluster and timing belt *tgw the consumer stated the fuel gauge and other components were not accurate. The dealership determined that the instrument cluster and timing belt needed to be replaced.

However, audi stated that the dealership denied the request. *Jb

On our audi tt 2001 convertible, the electrical outlets underneath the dashboard caught on fire. The fire department was called and after an investigation, found no known cause of fire. Also, prior to this fire, the tip of the spark plug fell into the engine cylinder block, causing us the owners to pay in full for a new engine head to be replaced....Lots of money (approximately $8000). We replaced it through a well known professional audi shop auto haus munich in san diego. Hazardous lights needed to be replaced professionally because it interfered with the signal lights. Much money & time spent, and many headaches experienced while owning this beautiful yet troublesome car. *Tr

Additionally, intermittent headlight failure. Idiot light comes on, left front headlight out....

Purchased a 2001 audi tt 225 coupe on october 2000, eight years later and only 69700 miles,timing belt fails causing major damage to the engine. August 2008 audi sent out a letter acknowledging a potential problem with the timing belt but since it was not a recall I paid only a small attention to it. Besides all this clearly the design of the timing belt is faulty or inadequate to be used on a sports car!!! *Tr
