mr.ots 10 Posted January 24, 2006 Did anyone see Watchdog on BBC1 tonight? Audi seem to have a problem with the TT dash pod. Lots of customers complaining that the fuel, temp gauges read faulty, oil pressure warning comes on when there isn't a fault and the display flickers on and off. Audi have now admitted that there is a problem with these units and they will replace them free of charge, although they had been charging customers around £800 to replace them before Watchdog got involved! Maybe the rado isn't so bad after all :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted January 24, 2006 This has been mainly down to the efforts of the guys over on the Uk TT forum who have been campaining for several years. http://www.ttforum.co.uk/ttforumbbs/viewtopic.php?t=56067 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 24, 2006 Yeah they've been faulty ever since the TT first rolled out of Germany. Ipswich Audi regularly have TTs in the workshop and not just for pod replacements! The pods are made in Malaysia or somewhere so the quality slipped. Glad to see they're acknowledging the problem and addressing it. A few TTs have also suffered from the infamous diff pin shearing issue, which wrecks the gearbox! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr.ots 10 Posted January 24, 2006 It's pretty poor of Audi to take so long to admit there is a problem and take some positive action but at least TT owners have finally got a good result. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kevin Bacon 5 Posted January 24, 2006 I wonder if Jay Renshaw is entitled to a free replacement? :-) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
24V Renshaw 0 Posted January 24, 2006 I had some of those problems with the dial pod in my TT dash. Thankfully I now have the Mk4 dial pod in the TT dash :) Also means I get indiglo blue dials unlike any TT. 8) The TT dials seem very tempremental.

Blair 0 Posted January 25, 2006 No sympathy for the girl with the convertible, simply because of the w*nky number plate - "R11 PYU" now reads "R11PY U"? Riipy? Whassat? ;) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
