AUDI TT MK2 COMMON PROBLEMS!

[@neilmartin110]

I've owned my MK2 TT RS for 13 years; Fan heater Motors go, Parcel Shelf Brackets break, Bonnet Pull handles break, Crank walk breaks engine (push to start Bypass recommended). The Direct injection engines suffer from Carbon build up on the valves (walnut blasting gets rid). I've had 2 Hadex pump break over the years. Mag Ride breaks, best to replace with coilovers. You can't code out the mag ride - It needs resistor (mag ride delete units) Bose amps can get water logged if you don't keep the drain holes clear. Fuel caps can stick closed when the cap is dirty

I love the typical stereotype “ladies” or “hairdressers car” yet so many so called “men” these days drive hybrid or electric embarrassments.

[@Aevoa]

If your masculinity is tethered to what vehicle you drive, you have issues.

[@youlikeicecream]

For the boot opening, if you've ever had the battery die like I have, you can crawl inside the car to the boot and there is an "emergency release" cord on the inside, you should see a small keyhole in the tailgate just below the window line. Pop your key in and remove the felt cover, then pull the little cord and the boot will unlock.

Great video. Had 07 MK2 2ltr TFSI still running with 166000 miles and still going strong. Major issue i had was a leak , this was traced to rear spoiler that raises. as commented in video if it has been removed at any time check for leaks. Mine was leaking down the retaining screws. Noticed issue when windows were steaming up for no reason. Found puddle around battery also caused intermittent starting due to water getting into fuel control unit under back seat. Removed complete spoiler unit and resealed all with Tiger sealant no issue since. Window winder also failed due to poor quality cable upgraded and fixed for £40. Rear light earthing can be fixed if you are a confident diyer. drilling through base of rear lights and fitting decent sized cable and attach to frame (you tube videos). Dead right about pressure valve , had coil go week before which i replaced , then similar symptoms felt a bit like a misfire but slightly different . Genuine part upgraded or later version part fitted £25 and 30mins of my labour again easy for confident diy er . hope this helps. Happy driving.

Thank you for this, Audi no longer supports the CCM for the 2001 TT Roadster. Are you aware of any workarounds for this module to be able to put the roof up and down? I tried have mine rebuilt but too far gone. Any response is appreciated.

[@Tinez87]

It would be worth mentioning the oil pump hex drive and balance shaft issue on the TDI engine both engine codes CBBB & CFGB were effected by this. Common rail diesel engines in various models across Audi and VW all the way up to 2015

[@rrrated]

Absolutely, really common issue with PD170 which either kills the engine or the turbo at least. Quite expensive to fix. Also 2.0tfsi cam follower failure, balance shaft seizure which kills the engine. Audi had a recall on a lot of PD170 injectors and were replacing all faulty ones.

[@colinboyd4371]

[@glennmason6982]

My 2014 Mk 2 is on 95k miles. Runs beautifully and no obvious issues as yet. HOWEVER, it drinks oil like there's no tomorrow. Refilling the oil every 2 or 3 weeks! Any ideas why that might be happening? I've had it checked for leaks but none detected.

[@banterdose650]

hi. in term of reliability & lesser issues/repair cost between a 2010 tts 2.0 tfsi vs 2010 z4 23i sports, which one should i get for my once a week short city drive. im a 55 & forever young man. thanks

[@paulmoris1101]

Audi less headache better reliability

[@simonevans7559]

God I feel depressed I own a 58 plate tts (weekend car) just in the process of fitting apex springs... I dunno if he mentioned but I have the cam follower changed at every service too

i got a supercharged vr6 mk2 quattro. b e a s t. its pushing 345 WHP it probably could go up to 400s but i still daily it😂 well its my first car and i got a weird exhaust configuration that makes it sound so good… just had problems when fitting the kit myself with few stripped bolts. had local tuner tune it for me to a reliable 345 whp which is enough for quattro. also big upgrade is kw susp that i just recently got. i thought stock was ok but it rlly wasnt😂 worth it, will be selling it soon to get myself a e92m3 because both me and my dad r fans of it. idk for how much i can sell my tt but its got ttrs kit on it lol

[@JonhnyCunha]

Hi. I have a 2008 Audi TT. After warming up, it won't change gears. It only stays in 1st. It was hard to find someone to look at it. The oil and filter were changed. And now they want me to change the entire transmission. I feel like that's not it. Someone who knows Audi TTs told me it's the heat exchanger or heat sensor (because it stops working after warming up). Can you help me?

[@vinhvu123]

Got problem with parking sensors, not responding. Any ideas? Could it be the buzzer?

[@panz3r696]

Are there kits to get mk 2s raised so more off-road tyres fit ? Kind of going for that Porsche Dakar look ?

What year was the mag ride introduced?

[@brandonsteuer8742]

Is that solar orange? Very few made in orange

[@White1404]

I just test drove a 2011 TTRS with 95k on the clock. The thing that I noticed is that when flooring the accelerator at low speed or when stationary, there seemed to be a long lag and a great deal of wheelspin on the rear. Also that the ABS seemed to kick in a little too fast even at low speed braking. Any suggestions as to the cause(s)? It felt to me the 4x4 system wasn't behaving well. Your thoughts are welcome. Best Wishes.

[@bobsbits8562]

Check for corrosion under the steel abs ring. It expands and puts the ring in Collison with the sensor

Brilliant video. I just bought myself a mk2 tts having owned a 2.0 tfsi years ago and can comfirm a good few of the issues you raise as common faults: Coil packs and shocks being the main ones. These cars are so damn good!

[@mrarby9780]

I got a 09 mk2 3.2 vr6 140,000mi, most of my issues have been electrical, needed to replace my door locking mechanism twice, needed to replace my rear center breaklight, need to replace my daytime running light, my front shocks went out , my left CV axle went out, my radiator cooling manifold had a crack in it, my chain tensioner is going bad, my rear view mirror electrical stopped working. Over all great car tho.

[@f_rodriguez2454]

Hey man, Your one of the few people i’ve seen post about still owning a higher mileage 09. I’ve been looking at a decently maintained 09 tts according to carfax with 104k miles. could you by chance tell me what to look for or take care of before it goes out?

[@mrarby9780]

@@f_rodriguez2454 if I wasn't a mechanic this TT ( my only mode of transportation) would have bankrupt me years ago. I have the 3.2 V6 version , different from the TTS you're looking at.. timing belts ( for the I4 I5 engines frequently need attention, DSG transmission oh and magnetic ride suspension are frequent items I see around.

[@RollingCinemar]

Nice video ❤ What issues are there if anything with the diesel engine?

[@pushatsinfrared]

High pressure fuel pump I have heard can be an issue on all 2.0 TDI models as well as injectors on early cars. Other than that just the usual diesel issues + cambelt

Hi. I have a mk2 8j (2007) with rattle when going over bumpy roads. Someone said this could be steering rack as had a quick check and drop links etc looked ok. This would be a step too far for my trusty car. Any other ideas?

Don't forget to change that cam follower if it's worn. Such an over looked part.

Seen Water in battery well where it sits which is a problem can you suggest where it may be coming from and any solutions please

[@itsimty]

Thank you for watching, without physically diagnosing the leak we cannot comment, but check all seals, and joins, carry out a water test and try to find the leak.

[@lanceflanagan]

Yeah i had the 3.2 V6 a good few years back now. Broken spring was a pain, and the driver-side glass leaked. That said, i'd like another one. But is the 3.2 V6 a reliable engine with high mileage?

[@tomnichol8146]

I have a 08 3.2 manual convertible. Since the drain tubes are critical, can you please provide more information as to how to find them where they are located and how to ensure they are not blocked

[@kevinlageer9866]

Do you get this figured out?

[@tomnichol8146]

Probably dumb on my part but I haven’t located the drain tubes yet but I’m wondering if that could be because it’s a convertible.

I just woundered if you could help. Do you know how i would remove the centre armrest on mk3 tt, I broke the clip and it's locked shut. Reqlly be greatful of you had any advice

[@brandonsteuer8742]

Also so everyone knows front axles are prone to issue, wear item, but if you have vibration in the front when you turn most likely the issue

[@angusw6895]

I have a vibration in the front, I can see it in the steering wheel when I'm driving at high speed on the motorway in a straight line and along narrow bends. Could this be a front axle issue?

Any advice or warnings on converting/adding L.E.D. lighting?

[@fxwin1]

I have done a full led light upgrade for the indicators and fog lights (front & rear). Looks great. Was hoping to code out errors with VCDS but strangely option is not there so I have to live with the dash warning light

[@stephenhancock2974]

Do you get the horendous beep when you apply the brakes?

[@fxwin1]

I get one-time beeps for each of the lights that I have changed (indicators, tail, brake, fogs, reverse), typically at start-up or once I use them. It's not too bad tbh. The lights look great and will last longer than halogens, so a worthy trade-off@@stephenhancock2974

I'm comparing the manual mk2 TTRS and auto mk3 TTS. What is your opinion?

[@saadiqborez2231]

auto TTS, audi manuals arent the best. If you plan on daily driving it, go for the TTS.

[@jwmurphyccsis]

@@saadiqborez2231 The manual RS Mk 2 will be a classic and become very rare, It will appreciate unlike any Mk3. As the guy said in the vid the Mk2 is the best looking and most serious of the lot.

[@JWL-UK]

Have a standard 2008 stage 1 manual. It's been my daily for 3 years. If you like driving on A and B roads go for manual.

[@mightymulatto3000]

I have a video comparing repairs on the two MK2 TTS vs TTRS. In short get the TT-RS. The thermostat and the water pump is MUCH less labor intensive to get to. TTS requires removal of the alternator, air cleaner box, radiator cowel, 3 coolant hoses and the coolant pipe just to get to where you can remove the thermostat. The water pump is much easier to get to as well on the MK2 TT-RS.

[@fran.6496]

bro lifes too short to drive boring 2.0 autos yk what u gotta do. either ttrs or tt 3.2 vr6 and get it supercharged for half the price of ttrs

[@AntonGerber]

Why downgrade your otherwise informative video by using a common stereotyping intro?

[@mightymulatto3000]

Do yourselves a favor and buy a TTRS. Less labor intensive to work on in terms of water pump and thermostat. TTS requires removal of the alternator, air cleaner box, radiator cowel, 3 coolant hoses and a coolant pipe to get to the thermostat. The water pump requires just as much of an assanine procedure to get to on the TTS. In this regard TTRS MK2 isn't nearly as hard to work on. Save yourselves the hassle and pay a little more for the TTRS.
