Okay, I've had my TT here for all of 3 months... little things here and there - but what can you expect, it's used...

Well this morning, as I'm flying down the highway on my daily commute to work, my display beeps at me - and it's not low fuel - it's something else. It's a symbol of a box with fluid that has sprung a leak is showing.

What the hell is this?!?! My mind's begins to race. Has the radiator lost fluid? The engine's not heating up (but that's not a clear sign to rule that possibility out). Oil? Maybe that's air and my tire's sprung a leak??? Does the TT come with that option..??

Finally getting to my turn off I grab for the glove box to get my manual - it's gone! Sheet! Suddenly I remember I brought it in over the weekend to study it some (I'm funny that way).

Then, as quickly as it came on, the symbol vanished - whew! Crisis over, breathe easier now... visions of Achttung's engine woes flash before my eyes, then... beeeeeeeep!

Hells bells, Batman! [>:]There it is again! Do I pull over to keep from possibly doing any damage or continue on to work? Again, dollar signs swirling down a drainpipe (oddly resembling the Audi quad ring logo...) dances in my head like richocheting bullet. Sweet Jesus! What does this mean?!?!?

The lightbulb comes on ! So I call the girlfriend at home maybe she can look it up... after many, agonizing minutes she finally finds the symbols page... No it's not that one, yes, yes, I'm calm, no, no... yes! That's it! Oh! Oh, thanks, sweetheart...

Seems I'm low on windshield washer fluid.

 

Ha Ha low windsheild washer haha

Thats funny.

 

well I think that symbol's gonna cost you quite the penny to fix... sarcasm in extreme format!!

 

haha, my windshield washer fluid light has been on for a good couple months now, can't get around to fixing my leak

 

Yeah I felt sheepish... [sm=laughat.gif]

 

I hate that it beeps at you when it comes on, and it won't go away until its filled again. I don't quite consider that an emergency situation. I wish it would clear with the reset button and go back to the radio display.

You can do a check to see all the different lights you know, I think you push the left stem coming out of the cluster when you're at a stop. It'll go thru all the warnings and end with OK if everything checks out alright.

 

Two things, sorry to laugh.... but I just read that...and I literally laughed out loud at work....and im talking LOUD....

YOU MADE MY DAY!

...also ...it is extremely annoying...and the first time I saw it I about dumped my pants too [X(]

 

Yeah thought it was worth sharing just for that reason, mate!

 

My morning drama story...

I was driving home from a long day in Orlando (1.5-2 hrs away). I don't have my turbo timer yet, so I left my car running in the driveway while I brought my things inside... I'll come back outside and turn her off in a few minutes.

Well, a few minutes finds me fast asleep in the fetal position. I wake up in the morning, all is well and bright.


I head for the door and realize that I have no memory of turning my car off last night. I rush outside.


Sure enough, door's open, key's in the ignition, display is dead and I am a moron. I put my battery on charge for 4 hours (I know, it needs more), found some old 87 octane in a gas can in my garage (I know! but I had no choice), and CRAWLED to the gas station to fill up with 93 octane. I had to look like an inexperienced moron swishing that 93 around in my tank (i.e. stop, go, stop, go stop, go)...

I did finally get her back, and was mad at myself all day long.

 

That's sounds like it's straight out of a horror film!
I hope you learned you lesson though!

Where in Orlando? I use to live there back in 2004.
