Temp Gauge On My 2001 Tt

mijyar · 05-14-2006, 06:07 PM

Surely someone has a fix out there. My problem is the same as other people's. Dash Pod misfunction. First the fuel guage, now the temp gauge, its off the scale which makes the coolant light come on ,which makes the fan come on and saps the power so the a/c switches off yet its not overheating. Audi want 1000 euros to fit new dash pod and so far it seems the only way to solve the problem because the imobiliser has to be reset to the new dash pod. Any suggestions?
I have had Audi's Coupes for the last 15 years but I'm getting bored with Audi's customer attitude. Seems they only have a customer service dept to fend off customers rather than help them.

Yeh read your suggestion about Audi Uk but Iv got the ultimate catch 22. My car was imported from the Uk to Ireland so Audi Ireland dont want to know and too much hassle to bring to Uk but thanks for suggestion. Thought by now there would be a fix out there in cyber world but I guess its off to the dealer. Having moaned I must say Im still in love with the car. Just changed over the tyres to Goodyear F1's from Bridgestone... Much nicer 145 euro each fitted as against 200 euro for the Bridge... looks the biz from the back. Didnt buy from these guys yet but check out eiretyres.com for tyres.

nice choice of tyres, i myself had goodyears eagle F1 fitted 2 years ago, but the ride was harsh and the tyres made sidewall baloons on the smallest of potholes, now i have have bridgestones fitted and the ride quality is excellent in addition to great grip...
