2001 Audi TT - Electric Vehicle Guide

The 2001 Audi TT belongs to a Audi TT lineup that Know Your Ride tracks across 6 model years, from 2000 to 2008. It is an all-electric vehicle, so it skips the oil changes, spark plugs and exhaust-system service of a combustion TT entirely. It is configured as front-wheel drive with a manual 5-spd. The 2001 sits mid-run, with both earlier (2000) and later (2008) TT model years also documented.

The high-voltage battery is covered for 8 years or 100,000 miles, separate from the bumper-to-bumper warranty. Routine upkeep centers on tire rotation, DOT 4 brake fluid, G13/G12++ battery/cabin coolant, cabin air filters and brake service rather than engine oil.
