Temperature Gauge 1.8 Quattro TT

[mick mc]

Hi Guys,
Has anyone had any problems with the temperature gauge on their TT ( 2003 ) model. I have a problem with mine where it goes straight to the red line within minutes of starting the car. I have been told that this is a problem with this model but I was wondering how well known this issue is and if Audi had done a recall! Also how much would it cost to replace this gauge? Any help greatly appreciated.

Same problem here mate, with a TT I bought.

Do some research on the web to see how common a problem it is.

Watchdog did a piece on it, and there was a recall for any cars that were 5 years old or less... So that's not applicable.

There are specialist companies that will repair, which is what I am planning to do.

Firstly check the thermostat, if that doesn't cure it you have the dreaded dashpod lurgey, don't think Audi are doing recalls on them any more though..
