Electrical issue with gauge cluster, fuel gauge inaccurate (runs out of gas in middle of hwy), low oil pressure light comes on (manual says to stop immediately when light comes on), air bag light comes on! Everything I have read states these are all problems with the gauge cluster (cost over $1000 to have replaced!) audi USA knows about problem but refuses to do anything about it. Audi has a recall in the uk for this problem, why not here in the u.s. ?? This is a serious safety issue!

What 2001 Audi TT owners say
Most recent owner complaints, unedited.
Third instrument cluster on a 2001 audi tt roadster. Fuel gauge at first showed too much fuel. After a new cluster the fuel gauge shows low when its not. Apparently the sending unit is the cause but audi is ignorant of the issue and does not have a repair solution. I dare say audi does not care about its cars, their problems and their customers.
My audi tt quattro 2001 fuel pump and rollover valve tubing is completely corrosive, when you touch the tubing it crumbles.I called audi about the problem and they where not aware of corrosive gas tubing. Plus the wiring for the fuel pump was bear, all the wire covering had crumble which cause it to short out and not work. This is all inside a full tank of gas, it seen very dangerous.
The 2001 audi tt quattro we own runs out of gas before the gas gauge registers an half tank. The computerized dash components don't work, either.
The fuel sending unit can often report incorrect information, causing owners to occasionally run out of gas without prior notice. Fuel gauge has a tendency to jump from full to empty within minutes. Audi has already recalled their a6 model for the same defect, yet does not want to recall the tt even though they share the same part number for the fuel sending unit and exhibit the same problem.
Dt: the contact states that the fuel gauges stopped working. Dealership stated that a number of them have failed. In order to fix this problem the cluster of all the gauges would have to be replaced.*ak
When driving car intermittedly maintains speed when foot is taken off gas. Also intermittedly, when car idels it feels as if it is going to stall like car is losing power.
Fuel gauge is not registering proper amount of fuel in fuel tank. Dealer made repairs on three separate occasions, but problem has reoccurred. Feel free to provide any further information.
