Check output of the alternator as there may not be enough current produced to keep the battery charged. Check drive belt tension and condition.

SOURCE: audi tt quattro turn light is not Blinking-stays on

Hazard lite switches go bad a lot in most audi and VW cars.  To remove you must first remove the radio.  Note you need special audi radio tools.  Next there is a cover above radio that clips in.  Remove this cover and you will be able to access the hazard light switch.  Install and test new switch before assembling.  This will take care of your issue.

SOURCE: location of fuel filter on a 2001 audi tt quattro

On a 2001 Audi TT Quattro the fuel filter is located forward of the fuel tank, in the right rear wheel well area. The fuel line clamps are a bit tricky. The change will improve performance. The owners manual does not even list changing the filter. But do it! use a Fram, and it fit perfectly. Good luck.

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.

How do I turn the idle up on my 2001 audi tt quattro

It has to be done electronically using VagCom software (what the dealers use). There is no idle screw to adjust like older cars have.

Audi tt quattro turn light is not Blinking-stays on

The signal flasher is within the emergency flasher. It will usually make a lot of clicking noise when faulty though. Check all the bulbs on the car for proper operation. Good luck!
