AUDI TT – Time will tell

Audi TT; Maintenance and reliability

The Audi TT received great reviews upon its unveiling.   Very modern looking and at the cutting edge of style, Jeremy Clarkson in describing it said “it’s all form and no function” and “a hair scrunchie for men”.  

Now that the TT has been around for a few  years.  How is it fairing in the reliability stakes.   Have any problems surfaced? 

There are no huge problems, but nothing is perfect.  The first problem is minor.   If the radio and rear screen de-fogger are used at the same time, you may hear a whining noise from the speakers.  

Some cars may suffer a coolant leak.  This comes form the Thermostat housing and is usually down to a bad O-ring.

The Engine noise may make a funny noise.  It can howl or groan due to a problem with the pressure system.

Some TTs have problems Idling.   Dirty throttle bores, faulty plugs and dislodged idle control dampers may cause rough idling

The Quattro Models are being fitted with front and rear stabilizers to improve handling
