SOURCE: Audi TT Intermittent headlight

I'm having the same problem with my 2004 TT. I've narrowed the problem down to being the bulb. I swapped bulbs with the driver side and the problem followed the bulb. Your solution is to replace the bulb. You need a D2S 4300 K bulb. It's best to replace in pairs. Try here: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290310078483

You can change the bulb easily yourself in about five minutes, especially on the passenger side. You may want to disconnect the battery, though I don't know if that is necessary. You may also want to handle the bulbs wearing latex or nitrile gloves so as to not get your skin oil on the glass.

1. Remove the decorative cover that conceals the Coolant reservior. There is a single philips screw near the firewall that holds the cover down.

2. Find the back of the headlight and pull the metal wire clip that holds the back of the headlight cover toward the engine. Remove the cover.

3. Look inside and find the back of the HID bulb--it will be toward the outside fender. Twist the connector until it separates.

4. There is a retainer ring that holds the bulb in. Again, twist that until it comes loose. The bulb should come right out.

5, Put the new bulb in, noticing the notch is on top. Also, attach the retainer ring. It is marked "Top" to help orient it. Reattach the connector with a twist.

6. Make sure everything is firmly in place. Reconnect your battery and test the lights. Finish putting anything else back on.

Did exactly as you said, replaced both bulbs with the d2s as you said and got them on ebay, driver side was clearly more difficult to put in, passenger side very easy, worked perfect for 1 day and the intermittent problem returned. What to do.

A light of a whole car came on in my dashbroad in my audi A4 2003 what is that

Engine management light.sometimes it will reset itself when you identified the problem.sometimes it will go into limp mode as well.so if it still drives normally get it to a garage who can run a quick OD11 ecu test to see what error codes are stored on ecu of car.it may be simple reset required if you addressed the overheating issue.

My audi a6 willnotstart. it is 1998 model. I was driving along, parked at LOWES and when I got in to leave it would not start. I have power but I dont feel as if the starter is engaging

first i would try to get a jumb my not have enough amps to turn over motor if something was left one when you got out and if that does not make any diff. try tapping on your solenoid a few times with a bar hammer end or something not to hard might need a new one by doind this it will help free it up like a relay switch.. if that helps i would get a new solenoid
good luck

Prob's with my Audi A6 2003 Auto 3.0 V6 (gearbox)

Doubt it as the fault suggests you need to look into the range sensor. If similar to Renault there is a switch on the gearbox that senses where the select lever is (at the gearbox end). If the display is wrong then the sensor needs looking at and either it will need to be adjusted into a set position by moving it, or perhaps the connector to it or wiring to/from it have a fault.

Battery dies on 2003 A4 audi

HI there,

I had the same problem with mine. Managed to determine that it was the rear brake light switch that caused a short. This meant that once the car was turned off power was being drained. We thought it might be the computer module shutting down which can take up to 10/30 minutes. But No. Replaced with a new Brake Light Switch, Problem Solved
