Audi TT Problems

Engine
  • Oil leaks from the valve cover gaskets and camshaft chain tensioner gaskets are common.
  • To prevent possible engine problems, our technicians recommend regular inspection of the water pump and timing belt.
  • To avoid sludge accumulation inside the engine, our technicians recommend using the proper synthetic oil with the appropriate oil filter.
Exhaust & Emissions
Suspension & Steering Creaking noises coming from the front suspension may require sway bar replacement.
Electrical & Lights Turn signals can become erratic when the flasher relay starts to fail.
