Known issues on the 2004 TT. Two recalls sit on federal record for this model year. The first covers an aftermarket Tru-Flow water pump sold for service replacement, where a timing belt failure can shut the engine down without warning and raise crash risk. The second covers the clutch on vehicles built with a Direct Shift Gearbox: a seam inside the gearbox was not welded to specification, and the clutch can lose its ability to transmit torque to the transmission without warning, letting the vehicle roll and increasing the risk of a crash. Owners have filed 25 complaints for the year, and no technical service bulletins are logged. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both systems are here.
Whether you're inspecting a service-replacement water pump, checking a Direct Shift Gearbox clutch, or working through a routine service interval, it keeps you on the OEM procedure and correct specification for your 2004 TT.
The Gates Corporation (Gates) is recalling certain aftermarket Tru-Flow Water Pumps, part number TFW 41127, sold at certain NAPA Auto Parts and/or installed by automotive service technicians after November 1, 2013 (and manufactured August 2013 throug
A failure of the timing belt may cause the engine to shut down, potentially increasing the risk of a vehicle crash.
Gates will notify owners, and dealers will replace the water pump, free of charge. The recall began during May 2014. Owners may contact The Gates Corporation at 1-303-744-1911.
ON CERTAIN PASSENGER VEHICLES WITH DIRECT SHIFT GEARBOX, DURING THE PRODUCTION OF THE GEARBOX, A SEAM AT THE CLUTCH WAS NOT WELDED TO SPECIFICATIONS. THIS COULD LEAD TO DEGRADED PERFORMANCE OF THE CLUTCH INSIDE THE GEARBOX.
THE CLUTCH COULD LOSE ITS ABILITY TO PROVIDE INPUT TORQUE TO THE TRANSMISSION WITHOUT PRIOR WARNING, WHICH COULD ALLOW THE VEHICLE TO ROLL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE CLUTCH. OWNER NOTIFICATION BEGAN ON APRIL 30, 2004. OWNERS SHOULD CONTACT AUDI AT 1-800-822-2834.
