Hi everyone, I've owned nothing but BMW's since I was 16 (I'm 23 now), but I just took the dive and bought my first Audi, a 2001 Audi TT Quattro Coupe 225 with 82k miles on it. So far I absolutely love the car, however there are a few issues with the car and I was hoping I could get some input on the basics:

-What are some of the best places to order parts for these cars?

-My speedo isn't working, but I did the trick on the climate control and it gives me my speed so I'm guessing the problem is in the cluster itself. The pixels are shot on the display screen as well, so where is the best place to have the cluster repaired? I've seen a lot of good things about Module Master, but I'd like to hear where y'all recommend for best service and best price.

-Are there any websites that have parts diagrams with the parts numbers like realoem does for BMW? Here's an example of what I'm talking about: RealOEM.com BMW E36 M3 Cylinder Head Vanos

- I know all about the timing belt issues, and I don't believe it has ever been changed on this car, so I need to do it ASAP. What are some good kits to take care of all problematic areas at one time?

- Are there any other good DIY repair/mod sites?

Thanks in advance for any input you have,
Drew

 

I live in KC so we are midwesterners owning these weird little cars that everyone comments on that they like it.

The Dash board deal i think is s dealer thing. You may look for a TSB that would get it fixed under warranty TSB. Not sure about this but have heard there is common problem with the dash electrical.
