[s-cars] Fwd: Audi TT

[Stott Hare]

Depending on the build date there you either have two latitude/longitude sensors under the dash.  Bentley page 45-5 calls out #16/G251 as long sensor behind glovebox, and #22/G200 or #23/G202 (which were combined into a single sensor G419 with builds after 9/01) along the right side of the steering column.  The part number for these individual sensors are the same prior to 9/01, if my recollection serves.  All sorts of funny things happen with ABS/Traction Control etc. when those sensors are bad/on their way out.

Have you scanned for fault codes with Vagcom/VCDS or similar?  That may call out which one is faulty (by the G#).

Probably $75 per sensor, and you're removing either the lower dash or the glovebox to access the sensors, depending on which one a scan indicates.  If you're an early car, and the scan isn't conclusive, you can by a single sensor, and replace each sensor individually to see if the problem goes away.  Expect to reset basic setting afterwards.  See Bentley pages 45-9 and 45-10.

Hope this helps!

Thought I had sent this to the lists but found that I hadn't; so here goes.
I hope someone has some insight to my problem
