Hi Jeff and welcome to the forum.
It does sometimes appear that the the TT is somewhat plagued with irritating faults and I have had a number of similar experiences to date. I have recently replaced the MAS, currently have an intermittent indicator failure and also have a problem with blank lines across the computer screen. I also have a fault with the air recirculation vent motor not working. This is all apart from the the engine replacement that was done in November 04 after a valve failure at 50 000km. Also had to replace the flywheel and clutch plate (I suspect the previous owner's driving style) as well as new disks and pads all round (again the previous owner). To complete the list, the fuel guage is also out and needs recalibration (if that is possible).
Notwithstanding that, I do love my car but it does seem expensive to maintain. Unfortunately there is not much advice I can offer in terms of your problems and I guess we can only hope that the new parts have a reasonable lifespan.

Not to put too fine a point on it but forums do tend to highlight problems as this is what people often join for. I have a friend who has a new BMW X5 and within a month of driving off the showroom floor, had to have the computer replaced. So not only the TT I guess.
