Audi TT Lighting problems by year

Headlights just stopped working again for the umpteenth time. Park light and high beams work fine. This is a reoccurring problem with the low beams. Can be driving along fine and cut car off and start back up and low beams just won't come on. If it was 1 at a time I could see it as being no problem but they both stop working at the same time. Keep replacing switch and headlights...Thinking this would alleviate problem to no avail. See this is an ongoing problem with audi owners. Also see that it's a recall on the newer models but not the late models.

Driver's side low beam headlight intermittently turns off or on but currently is permanently off.Have researched the problem and it seems to be quite common among 2000 to 2003 tt owners. When turning on the headlights with the switch at times they would go on immediately but mostly I would have to turn the switch many times before the lights on the drivers side would go on. Tried replacing bulb but that is not the problem. Is there a recall on this? Have seen the money people have spent trying to repair this and still having problems and it is unfair to tt owners! Have not been able to repair it since 2007.

Left headlight occasionally wont turn on. Would have to switch on/ off a few times to get them to turn on. Tends to happen more when vehicle is cold.

Driver's side headlight turns off intermittently while vehicle is in motion. Turning the headlights off and then on again, brings both headlights back to operational.

My 2003 audi tt quattro has an intermittent headlight, have tried numerous times replacing the bulb as well as switch. After looking at numerous posts, it is clear that this is a huge fault by the manufacturer of headlight failure. In my state you get a ticket for a single light out (ny) and this headlight fails intermittently either when at 0mph or 60mph. Huge safety concern especially if driving at night or in the rain, on top of the traffic violations.

The led lights in the center of the console are going out. There was a recall at roughly 50k miles, the car was taken to the dealer and repaired and now the same thing is happening again. These lights are important as they tell you what is wrong with your car such as on overheat, low oil etc. *Tr

The passenger side head lamp flickers and turns off while driving. The head lights must be turned off and back on to temporarily correct the issue. This happens multiple times a day. *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. Can result in unexpected shut down on highway. Dealer says car computer does not indicate any problems and customer, me, ends up paying for each malfunctioning component as just "normal wear and tear". *Tr

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

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....

The blinding bright headlights on some new cars are dangerous. I flash my brights at them thinking that is the problem. If car manufacturers continue to put them on new cars, will they be liable for accidents caused by the blinding light? *Jb

Xenon headlights light masks make sides of the road completely dark. Driver cannot see roadway when turning more than 90 degrees on rural roads without street lights. Audi and dealer say"get use to it". One can not get use to not being able to see when driving.*Ak
