Latest TT fuel system complaints
Fuel sensor not working properly; while having gas, once tank meter reads 1/2, the engine shot-down, incorrectly telling that the tank is empty. Same issues with the cathalytic converter system. Engine's transmission wearing fast; pushing back and fort while accelerating.
Gas sensor and water / coolant pumps/ exaust sys..: Car was in motion...; Taken to repair-shop... Hifgh cost.
Electrical issue with gauge cluster, fuel gauge inaccurate (runs out of gas in middle of hwy), low oil pressure light comes on (manual says to stop immediately when light comes on), air bag light comes on! Everything I have read states these are all problems with the gauge cluster (cost over $1000 to have replaced!) Audi usa knows about problem but refuses to do anything about it. Audi has a recall in the uk for this problem, why not here in the u.S. ?? This is a serious safety issue!
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 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 digital instrument panel is failing currently it does not register the proper amount of fuel in the vehicle. This could result in a vehicle failure while driving in traffic causing a dangerous and hazardous situation. The vehicle has been recalled in the united kingdom for a similar failure in the vehicles instrument panel. The nhtsa should investigate this matter. The replacement of the instrument panel is not covered by the warranty and will cost in excess of $900 for the part, plus labor to replace the item...

on the vehicle. The vehicle has less than 45,000 miles on it. It is also stored in a heated garage in the winter so, elements should not be a factor in the cause of the failure. The failure is most likely due to manufacturing defect and replacement should be covered by the manufacturer. *Tr
My audi tt quattro 2001 fuel pump and rollover valve tubing is completely corrosive, when you touch the tubing it crumbles.I called audi about the problem and they where not aware of corrosive gas tubing. Plus the wiring for the fuel pump was bear, all the wire covering had crumble which cause it to short out and not work. This is all inside a full tank of gas, it seen very dangerous. *Tr
My instrument cluster on my 2002 audi tt has several problems. The digital display in the center of the counsel has several burnt out pixels and makes reading outside temperature and time difficult. Also the fuel gauge no longer displays the correct fuel level. *Tr
Tl*the contact owns a 2002 audi tt quattro. When the contact filled the vehicle with gasoline, fuel would spill back out from underneath the vehicle. He believed that the fuel tank was leaking. The dealer could not determine why the fuel was leaking and where it originated. The estimated repair cost would be $800. The vehicle was not included in nhtsa campaign id number 99v222000 (fuel system, gasoline:delivery:hoses, lines/piping, and fittings). The failure and current mileages were less than 132,000.
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
FAILURE OF FUEL GAUGE. *TR
Fuel gauge consistency reads the wrong level of fuel in the gas tank. Left me stranded twice already. This is a very very common malfunction for my model of audi. *Tr
The fuel sending unit can often report incorrect information, causing owners to occasionally run out of gas without prior notice. Fuel gauge has a tendency to jump from full to empty within minutes. Audi has already recalled their a6 model for the same defect, yet does not want to recall the tt even though they share the same part number for the fuel sending unit and exhibit the same problem. *Tr
Dt: the contact states that the fuel gauges stopped working. Dealership stated that a number of them have failed. In order to fix this problem the cluster of all the gauges would have to be replaced.*Ak *nm
My 2000 audi tt quattro has a problem with its fuel gauge where it sometimes reads that there is most of a tank of gas when the tank is nearly empty. Problem is intermittent. I have not run out of gas or had an accident, but this seems to be a potential safety hazard to me (the car could run out of gas without warning). On audiworld.Com tt forums, there are many reports of this same problem.*Ak
