Audi TT Problems
Flasher Relay Failure Can Cause Erratic Turn Signal Operation
Erratic turn signal operation can be a result of a failing turn signal flasher relay which will require replacement.

A creaking type noise may be noted from the front suspension. Replacement of the front sway bar may be required to correct this issue.
Check Engine Light Due to Vacuum Leaks, Oxygen Sensor, or Catalytic Converter Fault
Vacuum leaks, oxygen sensor failure, and catalytic converter efficiency faults can cause the Check Engine Light to illuminate.
Engine Oil Leaks
Engine oil leaks are common from the valve cover gaskets and camshaft chain tensioner gasket.
Use correct oil/filter to prevent sludge accumulation
