TT Specialist shares 10 things you NEED to know about your new Audi TT MK1

[@robinwiddrington5765]

Brilliant. Just bought an immaculately kept 2002 Coupe with only 25000 miles. You answered some questions I had. Someone must have pressure washed the car at the dealers and got dirty water into the right front headlight. I am going to replace the scratched rims and get new headlights installed. I love this car.

[@BWSTT]

Nice low miler! Enjoy!

[@Clodrock]

Very helpful video. Battery died on my 2005 3.2 Quattro and since the battery is in the rear, I had no way of opening the hatch with the power dead until I learned about the hidden toggle underneath the cup holder. Cool stuff!

Bought a 2003 Convertible Quattro TT as a surprise for the wife - had no idea about the hidden codes, the vent closing or the lowering the windows with the fob (which mine does not work for some reason). If you are answering questions, where is the best place to get the spare key that they show in the manual that you could hide in a magnet hide-a-key in case you did lock your keys in the car? Also, did not know about the manual trunk release (I did find the one for the gas). Have to look at that.

[@shellymayo1723]

Great video. How do you access the shift lock override on a 2005 TT MK1?

[@AndyTurnerUK]

Regarding the last point, about locking your keys in the car. For about £15, I got a copy key (non-chip) cut from my only remote fob key, at Timpsons. I keep the copy key on my housekeys keyring, separate from the fob key. As I carry both keyrings whenever I go out in the car, if it ever happens that I lock my fob key inside, I still have the copy to open the car and retrieve them. Small price to pay rather than having to break a window, etc etc.

[@stevenweil7429]

Very cool, third visitor, hidden trunk lock , good stuff. I’ve owned it for 3 years. My problem is my drivers door key won’t turn left or right and I’m told you need that to reset certain things on the car likes the blower/heat ?

I bought a 2001 with a broken selector fork in the trans. I wanted to go through it anyway and the fork only cost 120 from Audi but when I was done I couldn't get the gas cap open. If you lock and unlock the car 5 or 6 times the button will work again. I didn't think it would work but it did on mine.

Great info mate. Looking at a 2002 TT Quattro manual. Seller states it needs a clutch and fly wheel, I know the dual mass fly wheels can fail usually rattling, but the seller also says the starter will not engage to start the car?? Will the fly wheel fail so badly that the starter won’t even engage or is there another more catastrophic reason it won’t even start? Like the flywheel taking out the crank etc ?

[@BWSTT]

More likely the starter has failed than the ring gear on the flywheel

Center button center console in between your trunk and gas cap button is that for a garage door opener is that why so many are missing because people just pop out the button instead of deprogramming?

[@BWSTT]

No, thats to disable alarm sensors. Garage switch goes in place of the third visor

Hey man great basic and important vid. Question for you or other gurus: how can one retrieve the blinker wire that fell inside the front fender, without tearing anything apart? It’s the passenger side (usa) blinker. Keep up the good work Sir!

[@danieljobson3452]

This might help with the window not dropping when you open the door.. turn the ignition on not starting the engine, make sure the window is fully up with doors closed, hold the window switch up for the window that’s not dropping for five seconds that should reset the window and when you open the door it should drop, 9 times out of 10 it works hope this helps

[@sheppymcshep]

Any knowledge in the central locking? My key fob has never worked. The lock button inside doesn't work although the unlock button does. Central locking with the key is very odd. it will lock the passenger door (from the drivers side) but won't unlock it. I only have one key with new batteries. Tried every single method I can find apart from hooking it up to a laptop. I do have a dodgy microswitch on the drivers side, when i manually unlock the car and get in the alarm starts going off. it does stop when I start the car. Keep up the great work, greetings from Scotland!

Question; My 2001 225 coupe doesn’t have the display on the dash showing what door is open, the dome light doesn’t work when the door opens, and I can’t open the windows with the buttons on the keys. However I can open the windows by putting the key in the door and turning it, I get a warning tone when I open the door with the lights on AND the windows on both sides drop when the door opens. I’m clueless as to what this could be and I’d appreciate any ideas lol. Thanks in advance guys and girls.

Nice work Bryn! Great tips there for fellow TT owners like us! I’ve just done a video covering weekly checks as we need to look after these old girls and keep them on the road!

[@Scoupe400]

Amazing the number of people who don’t read the manual. Videos are easy tho. I do miss that mini 3rd sun visor. Top tip: get your Haldex oil changed every 20k miles.... actually I’d say 10-15k. It really gums up and can clog the haldex filter. I’ve seen metal swarf in a new car having done 20k, and nasty gummy oil in a 10 year old car that’s done low miles even after changing it twice. Would imagine the flappy paddle common jamming problem, which is an easy fix, is noteworthy too. And a mention to the hazard warning light containing a fuse.

I agree with the previous comment if you have any tips on how to fix the switch in the door so that my light comes on and my window goes down slightly. Mine is a 06, 3.2 Quattro. The gas gauge has failed for the third time. Also if you have any information on getting the pixels fixed in the small display that would be good. Oh so why am I finding a wet spot under the floor mat on the driver side water is coming in from somewhere and it didn't even for months. Probably fromAC. Very fun car to drive but mine has been a money pit.

[@BWSTT]

Ive done a door micro switch video, which solves your light and window drop issue. All dash issues can be resolved by sending it off- if you know how to DIY it then great, but lets face it most people dont have pcb soldering know how. Wet patch i couldnt possibly diagnose remotely
