2002 Audi TTTransmission & drivetrainAcceleration & cruise control

The clutch experienced failure while on the highway and wouldn't go into gear without being put into neutral first then into second gear . Then while driving one day I couldn't put it in reverse it's just gone so now the car will roll slightly even with the emergency brake on but I was put in danger the day it wouldn't shift gears as it should while on the highway leaving me pretty much in fast motion but unable to continue in gear as it should which caused me to have to drift to the side of the road to then experience the effect of it being in neutral to second to continue driving however the vehicle seems to be high reviving in all gears after this experience happened

2002 Audi TTAcceleration & cruise controlEngine & cooling

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...

it all checked out good. Timing belt and water pump was replaced couple months before this problem existed. The problem only exists when the engine is cold. Once you warm up the engine, restart the car, and it drives perfectly fine! Engine cools down, and rough idling, lack of power and all the comes back again. The mechanic doesn't know what the problem could be.

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

2001 Audi TTAcceleration & cruise control

This is an intermittent problem that happens when the car is driven for at least 15 minutes and is brought to a full stop. When the gas pedal is depressed, the engine remains at idle from between 1 to 3 seconds and the car does not move. During this time frame, the foot remains depressing the gas pedal and not on the brake pedal. Once the engine rpms do increase, the car will accelerate hard (jump). Several instances have occurred were the car jumped into a busy intersection, nearly causing an accident each...

time. My children were in the car during those times. This problem was not only experience by myself, but with my wife and a friend (who used to perform safety tests for porsche) and both have driven the car. The car has been brought in several times for this specific problem but it could not be reproduced at that time and nothing done to it other than a software patch applied to the tiptronic control module (tcm). This did not fix the problem as it still exists.*Ak

2001 Audi TTTransmission & drivetrainAcceleration & cruise control

This model car is widely recognized to exhibit unpredictable acceleration when equiped with the automatic transmission.(See allroad forum on audiworld.Com) when accelerating from a stop or from an almost stop the car sometimes pauses for up to 2 seconds and at other times accelerates quickly. In my experience this is an extremely dangerous behavior. Some of the car magazines actually do not recommend purchase of this car due to this characteristic. Audi does not acknowledge the problem.
