Introduction
The first generation of the Audi TT Coupé, named after the legendary "Tourist Trophy" race in the UK, was a milestone in automotive design.
The design followed the pure geometry, with central motives being the circle, particularly distinctive on the wheel arches, the arches of the roofline, the front end and the rear end.Audi has taken this genetic code and developed it in authentic style.
In the new TT, the geometric shapes merge fluidly with one another.The concave and convex arches radiate dynamism and movement while lending the TT Coupé the character of an athletic sculpture thrusting forwards.
The front end of the new TT Coupé has gained in expressiveness and resoluteness, the most distinctive element being the singelframe radiator grille.
Unlike the predecessor model, the rear end has a completely different outline to the front end. The rear lights create a three-dimensional effect by virtue of their visual depth. The trapezoidal cut-out around the license plate continues the flowing lines of the boot lid. The powerful exhaust tailpipes, wide diffusor and central rear fog light are borrowed straight from motorsport.
The dynamic impression conveyed by the Audi TT Coupé also stems from its modified proportions.
On the exterior it is now: - 137 mm longer
- 78 mm wider

The development targets for the bodyshell of the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
With a weight advantage of 48 % over a comparable all-steel bodyshell, not to mention the optimised weight distribution, the new composite aluminium-steel spaceframe body of the TT Coupé marks yet another milestone in the development of modern Audi bodyshells.
Crash safety of the bodyshell is enhanced by load-bearing structures at the front, sides and rear end with a heavy emphasis on pedestrian safety.
To ensure efficient volume bodyshell production, various new joining and production techniques are employed.
The repair concept is to a large extent based on the well-known aluminium repair concept, although combining the materials aluminium and steel meant, of course, that new approaches had to be taken.

Technological concept
Sheet-steel parts are used for the first time in the ASF of the Audi TT Coupé ‘07, in addition to aluminium castings, aluminium extruded sections and aluminium sheet-metal parts. Collectively they form the body structure. Vehicle weight distribution is optimised by using sheet-steel parts at the rear end of the body.
This has a direct bearing on sporting characteristics such as driving dynamics and acceleration, as well as safety characteristics such as stopping distance and driving stability Despite the partial use of sheet-steel parts, the total body weight of 277 kg including attachments, such as doors and lids, is approx. 48 % less than that of a comparable full steel body. Although the TT Coupé has grown considerably in size, the overall weight of the vehicle has been reduced through the use of the aluminium steel bodyshell.
The body structure of the Audi TT Coupé ‘07 has higher strength and 50 % higher torsional rigidity than its predecessor.

Occupant protection
Occupant protection system in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 is a high-end sports car. However, the occupant protection system matches the vehicle's driving dynamics in every respect. Creating a sports car with a high occupant protection potential is always a big challenge. This challenge was met by the TT Coupé development team.
The occupant protection system of the Audi TT Coupé ‘07 is composed of the following components and systems:
– Airbag control unit
– Dual-stage driver and front passenger airbags
– Front side airbags
– Central crash sensor for front airbag, so-called "upfront" sensor for head-on collision detection
– Side impact detection sensors in the front doors
– Front belt tensioners
– Battery isolation igniter
– Belt switch, driver side
– Belt-on indicator
Due to the different criteria and statutory requirements set by the various markets, the equipment specifications can vary. This applies particularly to the US market.

Occupant protection
Airbag control unit J234
Airbag control unit J234 and integrated electronics have the task of detecting a collision.
In the Audi TT Coupé ‘07 the airbag control unit is attached to the vehicle body in the area of the handbrake lever.
The airbag control unit is integrated in the CAN powertrain data bus so that it can exchange information with other control units.
The airbag electronics basically have the following main tasks:
– Collision detection (front, side, rear)
– Defined deployment of the belt tensioners, airbags and battery disconnect
– Defined deployment of the second front airbag stage
– Evaluation of all input information
– Permanent monitoring of the complete airbag system
– Independent energy supply via capacitor for a defined period of time
(approx. 150 ms)
– Fault display via failure warning lamp
– Storage of error / and crash information
– Indication of a collision event to other system components via the powertrain CAN bus or discrete collision output (conventionally wired)
– Activate seat belt reminder

To find out which components need replacing after an accident, refer to the valid Workshop Manual in
ElsaWin.
An airbag control unit can only be replaced with a VAS tester running the "Guided Fault Finding" or "Guided
Functions" application.
Reference
For more information about the airbag control unit J234, refer to Self-
Study Programmes 323 Audi A6 `05 and 361 Audi Q7.
Belt-on warning
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 has a belt-on warning function for the driver.
The airbag control unit evaluates the information from the driver side belt switch E24 after ignition "on". If the driver is not wearing a seat belt, a visual warning is given by the seat belt warning system warning lamp K19 integrated in the dash panel insert.If the system determines that the vehicle is moving, an audio warning is given in addition to the visual warning.As long as the ignition is on, the airbag control unit monitors the switched condition of seat belt switch E24. If seat belt status changes while terminal 15 is "on", the seat belt reminder will be reactivated.

Occupant protection
Airbag
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 has two-stage front airbags on the driver and front passenger sides.
The airbag control unit selects the time interval between the two ignition stages (approx. 5 ms to 30 ms) according to severity and type of crash.
The loads acting on the driver or front passenger during an accident can be reduced through time-staggered ignition of the propellant charges.
Both propellant charges are always ignited. This ensures that no propellant charge remains active after the airbag is deployed.
Driver airbag
Airbag igniter I, driver side N95
Airbag igniter II, driver side N250
A gas generator with two pyrotechnic propellant charges is integrated in the driver's airbag.
Igniter I is activated electrically by the airbag control unit J234. The igniter flame passes through the container and ignites the ignition charge in the container. If the pressure produced by the ignition of the ignition charge is high enough, the flame will break through the container and reach the propellant charge through the perforated tube. Propellant charge I ignites and combusts. The developing gas destroys the foil seal, and filtered gas flows through the air outlet into the airbag. After a defined interval has expired, the airbag control unit activates igniter II, which in turn ignites propellant charge II directly. The gas produced by combustion of the propellant material flows through the raised end cap into the combustion chamber of propellant charge I.
From here the gas flows through the filter into the airbag.

Driver seat belt tensioner igniter -1- N153
Front passenger seat belt tensioner igniter -1- N154
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 is equipped with redesigned belt tensioners for the driver and front passenger.
These belt tensioners are so-called "band tensioners".
The TT Coupé for the North American market is also equipped with these belt tensioners.
If the rear seats in the TT Coupé are equipped with
Isofix fixing eyelets, belt tensioners are also installed for these seats.
Seat belt
Foil
The workshop manual (ElsaWin) applicable to the vehicle describes the tests which must be made to detect an activated belt tensioner (band tensioner).
An activated belt tensioner can be detected, among other things, by virtue of the fact that the foil located on the side of the belt tensioner housing is detached from the housing.

The belt tensioner igniter is located inside the metal band loop.
When the igniter is activated by the airbag control unit, the resultant pressure causes the loop of the metal band to expand.The movement of the metal band exerts a pull on the seat belt retractor shaft, which thereupon begins to rotate, tensioning the seat belt.

Battery isolation igniter N253
The battery isolation igniter has the task of disconnecting the starter and alternator leads from the vehicle battery in the event of a crash.
Use is made of a pyrotechnic component which is activated by the airbag control unit J234 whenever the airbag is deployed.
During a rear collision, only the belt tensioner and the battery isolation igniter are activated.

Occupant protection
Additional functions and components of the occupant protection system for the North American market
The additional functions and components of the occupant protection system for the North American market are described on the following pages.
The occupant protection system is equipped with additional functions and components, e.g. second crash sensor for front airbag, so that the Audi TT Coupé ‘07 meets the statutory and marketspecific requirements for the US market.
Seat occupied detection, front passenger side
The front passenger side seat occupied recognition system was largely adopted from the Audi Q7.
The system basically comprises the following components:
– Seat squab
– Sensor mat for seat occupied recognition
– Pressure sensor for seat occupied recognition G452
– Seat occupied recognition control unit J706
– Front passenger side belt switch E25
– Seat belt force sensor for seat occupied recognition G453
– Front passenger side airbag deactivated warning lamp
K145 (PASSENGER AIRBAG OFF)
– Airbag control unit J234
These components form a single unit and must not be separated from each other.
Driver side belt switch E24
Front passenger side belt switch E25
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 for the North American market is equipped with seat belt switches for beltfastened recognition on the driver and front passenger sides.
Seat belt switches E24 and E25 are integrated in the belt buckles on the front seats So-called "reed switches" are used. The reed switch remains open until the occupants have fastened their seat belts.
The airbag control unit J234 performs a resistance measurement from which it can determine whether the occupants have fastened their seat belts or not.
Depending on the position of the reed switch, the measurement is made using one or both resistors.

Knee airbag igniter, driver side N295
Knee airbag igniter, front passenger side N296
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 for the North American market is equipped with knee airbags for the driver and front passenger sides.
Ignited knee airbags allow the occupants to participate earlier in the vehicle deceleration process. The airbag system of driver and front passenger front airbags in combination with knee airbags reduces the injury risk for the occupants.
On the driver side, the knee airbag is located in the footwell trim panel below the dash panel.On the front passenger side, the knee airbag is located behind the glove box lid.
After the airbags are activated, the airbag unfolds between the dash panel and the occupants' legs.

Occupant protection
Belt force limiter, driver side G551
Belt force limiter, front passenger side G552
The front inertia-reel seatbelts have a two-stage belt force limiter. In the event of a collision, the belt tensioners (band tensioners) are ignited first. The inertia-reel seatbelt blocks the seat belt retractor shaft and prevents the seat belt from unreeling, which would occur due to the forwards movement of the occupants. The seat belt retractor shaft is designed as a torsion shaft. To limit the load which the seat belt places on the occupants, two torsion shafts allow controlled unreeling of the seat belt; belt force limiter.
After a defined interval, the airbag control unit activates the belt force limiter igniter.
The second torsion shaft is decoupled. The seat belt retractor shaft now counteracts the force which the seat belt exerts.
To ensure that the occupants are afforded a good level of protection, the belt tensioning function, the belt force limiting function and the front airbags are coordinated with each other.

Fuel supply
The fuel system is basically adopted from the A3 `04.
The fuel tanks differ from one another in terms of their shape, which is dependent on the vehicle's drive concept.
They are made of HPPE (high-pressure polyethylene). To safeguard the fuel tank against destruction in the event of an accident, it is mounted in front of the rear axle. Here it is fixed to the underbody by means of ratchet straps. It is not necessary to disassemble the rear axle to remove the fuel tank. The front tank has a capacity of 55 litres, the quattro tank 60 litres.The US spec quattro tank has a capacity of 55 litres, because a different breather system is used due to the different statutory requirements which apply.

Pressure regulation
The fuel filter is bolted to the exterior of the fuel tank. The pressure regulator is integrated in the fuel filter.
In case of excess pressure, the governed fuel is returned to the tank. The pressure regulator in the FSI engine cuts off fuel delivery at 6.4 bar (relative). In the case of the MPI engine, fuel cut-off is at 4 bar (relative). Both systems are returnless, with the distinction being that the pressure in the MPI engine is maintained at a constant 4 bar, while the FSI engine utilises a supply-on-demand fuel system.
Reference
Pressure regulation in the 3.2l and
2.0l engines is described in Self-
Study Programme 290 and Self-Study
Programme 332 respectively.
Fuel gauge sender
For the MPI and FSI engines, a fuel delivery unit with integrated fuel gauge potentiometer and a suction jet pump are arranged inside the fuel tank.
Suction jet pump

380_021
In the case of the quattro tank, a second fuel gauge potentiometer is arranged inside the second half of the fuel tank.The second half of the fuel tank also houses the suction jet pump, which pumps the fuel into the fuel delivery unit reservoir. The suction jet pump is attached securely to the sender flange by means of clips. The thin line is the propulsion jet line. It is driven by the suction jet pump. The thicker line is the mixing tube, in which the intake fuel is pumped to the fuel delivery unit.
The fuel gauge senders are configured as slider potentiometers.

Soundpipe
A soundpipe is used on the 3.2l V6 engine to give the engine a sportier sound. The intake noise is transmitted to the vehicle body via a connecting line from the intake manifold to the plenum chamber and via a resonator.
The soundpipe has been developed to accentuate the dynamism and sportiness of the 3.2l engine
The soundpipe produces a sporty sound in the vehicle interior without impairing comfort. The pressure pulsations are amplified by the gas exchange cycle via the soundpipe without exceeding the exterior noise limits. Unwanted noise emission from ancillary units and tire noise are to a large extent avoided by the fact that the occupant cell is well-insulated. As a result, comfortable travelling is still possible.
Secondary pipe Sound generator Primary pipe Air filter

Function
A soundpipe is connected between the air mass meter and the throttle valve unit in the air intake tract.
The soundpipe made up of three parts: the primary pipe, which is connected to the air intake tract, the sound generator and the secondary pipe, which is connected to the vehicle interior via the engine bulkhead. The primary and secondary pipes as well as the sound generator are configured in such a way that it is possible to influence the "bandpass characteristic"*, and hence the acoustic transmission range. However, the sound generator is the key component.The system is designed such that the sound becomes meatier when the driver demands more power from the engine.
The pressure pulsations which during the gas exchange cycle are transmitted to the membranes in the sound generator, where they are amplified by the sound generator and relayed to the vehicle interior. Another further task the membranes is to seal the gas flow between the air intake tract and the vehicle interior. The foam core in the sound generator has the task of maintaining the shape and position of the membranes.
* A bandpass characteristic is produced, for example, by connecting the highpass and lowpass filters in series. Only a defined range of frequencies is allowed to pass, depending on the circuit configuration.

SST tyres have run-flat capability because of their modified design compared to conventional tyres.
Much stiffer tyre sidewalls enable the vehicle to drive on for up to 50 km at a maximum speed of 80 kph even after a total loss of pressure.
Special wheels are used for the SST tyres due to the modified tyre geometry. The special 17" wheels on the
Audi TT Coupé ‘07 can be used both for conventional tyres and for SST tyres. In the case of the 18" wheels, conventional tyres are available in combination with conventional rims. SST tyres are always combined with the low tyre pressure indicator.
Low tyre pressure indicator
In all markets except North America, the
Audi TT Coupé ‘07 comes with an upgraded version of the low tyre pressure indicator previously featured in the Audi A3. Being an indirect measuring system, no tyre pressure sensors are installed in the wheels.
Using a new evaluation method, it is now possible to detect simultaneous pressure loss to at multiple wheels. Tyre pressures are monitored simultaneously using two different concepts.

Air conditioning
Overview
The air conditioning system of the
Audi TT Coupé ‘07 is an improved version of the system used in the Audi A3 ’04. The automatic air conditioning system is configured as a single-zone air conditioning system. The TT Coupé has only one climate zone with no temperature differential between the driver and front passenger sides.
The TT Roadster is available with a heating-only system, in addition to the automatic air conditioning system.
The TT vehicles with petrol engine have no auxiliary heater and, therefore, no electrical PTC heater element.
The Climatronic control unit J255 has a rotary knob for temperature selection, but no digital display.
The system has an air recirculation function, which can be activated either by the occupants or automatically as soon as the "on" conditions for air recirculation have been met.
The automatic air recirculation function by means of an air quality sensor G238 was not implemented; no air quality sensor G238 is fitted.
The fresh air intake duct temperature sensor G89 is not fitted. Information on ambient temperature is supplied only by the ambient temperature sensor
G17 via CAN data bus from the dash panel insert.

Components of the air conditioning system in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
Air conditioner compressor
Single acting wobble plate compressor with
6 cylinders and variable delivery rate, without magnetic coupling, externally controlled.
The air conditioner compressor is not a carry-over part from the Audi A3.
The compressor stroke volume is regulated via the air conditioning system compressor regulating valve N280 by means of the PWM signal, depending on cooling power requirements.
Air conditioning system compressor regulating valve N280
380_053
Ambient temperature sensor
(directly before the condenser)
Ambient temperature sensor G17
Only one ambient temperature sensor is used to evaluate the ambient temperature.
The ambient temperature sensor G17 is located at the front end, on the right-hand side behind the bumper, directly in front of the condenser.
Its value is provide by the control unit with display in dash panel insert J285 via CAN bus.
If the ambient temperature sensor G17 is faulty, the ECON function is activated. This means that the active cooling function is deactivated and the AC
LED goes out.
380_048
Dash panel temperature sensor
Dash panel temperature sensor G56
The dash panel temperature sensor is integrated in the housing of the Climatronic control unit J255 and is ventilated by a suction blower. The temperature sensor can take on values from -50 °C to +77 °C.
The dash panel temperature sensor is deactivated if the temperature sensor or ventilation motor is faulty. An entry is made in the data memory, and the
Climatronic control unit J255 uses saved substitute values depending on the temperature set at the control panel.
380_052
Outlet temperature sensor
For the driver side, one outlet temperature sensor is installed in the air duct of the chest vent and in the footwell duct. For the front passenger side, only the outlet temperature sensor is installed in the footwell duct.
The Climatronic control unit J255 evaluates the outlet temperature sensor in dependence on the air distribution and determines from this the actual outlet temperature.
If an outlet temperature sensor is found to be faulty, the temperature control is generally not deactivated. Depending on the operating mode
(Heat or Cool) and the side of the vehicle on which the fault occurs (the front passenger side has only one outlet temperature sensor, in the footwell duct), the Climatronic control unit J255 decides whether the temperature control can remain active or has to be deactivated.
If air distribution is in the DEFROST setting, the outlet temperature control is deactivated.

380_050
Combined filter in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
A combined activated charcoal filter is standard on in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07.
The combined filter is accessible from the front passenger footwell. The filter can be replaced without tools.
The cover in the front passenger footwell is fixed in place with two wing bolts and the pollen filter air duct cover is located in position using a slide mechanism.
The combined filter has two predetermined bending points.This makes the filter easy to bend and simplifies installation of the filter into the air conditioner.

Audi TT Coupé ‘07 - Electrical and
Infotainment Systems
Introduction
The first generation of the Audi TT Coupé, named after the legendary "Tourist Trophy" race in the UK, was a milestone in automotive design.
The design followed the pure geometry, with central motives being the circle, particularly distinctive on the wheel arches, the arches of the roofline, the front end and the rear end.Audi has taken this genetic code and developed it in authentic style.
In the new TT, the geometric shapes merge fluidly with one another.The concave and convex arches radiate dynamism and movement while lending the TT Coupé the character of an athletic sculpture thrusting forwards.
The front end of the new TT Coupé has gained in expressiveness and resoluteness, the most distinctive element being the singelframe radiator grille.
Unlike the predecessor model, the rear end has a completely different outline to the front end. The rear lights create a three-dimensional effect by virtue of their visual depth. The trapezoidal cut-out around the license plate continues the flowing lines of the boot lid. The powerful exhaust tailpipes, wide diffusor and central rear fog light are borrowed straight from motorsport.
The dynamic impression conveyed by the Audi TT Coupé also stems from its modified proportions.
On the exterior it is now: - 137 mm longer
- 78 mm wider

The new TT by Audi is a thoroughbred sports car.
The suspension system is one of the features key to meeting this high standard. The basic TT has a conventional steel-sprung suspension - the so-called
"dynamic suspension system". The new Audi magnetic ride system is optional. It is a semi-active suspension system with magneto-rheologically controlled dampers.
Sport or comfort damper settings can be selected at the touch of a button.
The S-line suspension by quattro-GmbH has been developed to meet the growing customer demand for vehicle customisation. This suspension is sportier than the dynamic suspension and reduces vehicle ride height by 10 mm.

Front axle
Overview
An improved version of the McPherson suspension is employed. The design of the front axle is identical to that of the Audi A3. Track width is 13 mm wider on each side than the Audi A3.
Detail modifications have been made to reflect the particularly sporty character of the Audi TT. In addition to the tuning parts (springs, dampers and antiroll bars), the same axle components are used in all
TT suspension variants.

*: The Cobapress process is a casting process in which the component subsequently undergoes a forging process. The result is high strength and toughness.
Wishbones, ball joint and bracket
The ball joint is connected to the wishbone at three bolting points. Compared to the Audi A3, the fastening bolts are integral parts of a separate retaining element. The bolts and retaining element are inserted from above through the wishbone and ball joint.
The wishbone is attached directly to the subframe at the inside front and to the body at the inside rear by means of an aluminium bracket.

The brake calipers are identical in design and principle of operation to the brake calipers on the
Audi A3. A zinc-nickel coating is now applied. Brake calipers are optionally available in a grey finish. The brake discs for the 16" system have been adopted from the Audi A3. The brake discs for the 17" system are a modified version of the discs used on the Audi
A3. This change was necessary due to the modified rim geometry of the SST wheels.
The Audi TT has new brake hoses with modified holders on the swivel bearing compared to the Audi
A3.The 16" and 17" splash plates have been adopted from the Audi A3. Break pad wear is measured in a conventional fashion on the interior lining of the left wheel brake. The 17" system is equipped with a vibration damper. The damper is attached to the brake caliper by the lower fastening bolt.

The brake calipers are identical in design and principle of operation to those on the Audi A3. The brake carriers have been modified since the Audi TT has wider rims than the Audi A3 and, because of this, the requisite clearance for the handbrake cable would not have been assured had the A3 brake carrier been adopted unchanged.
Compared to the Audi A3, the brake calipers have been shifted 10 mm further inwards. Two new 16" and 17" splash plates are used. The brake hoses have been modified. In the Audi TT the transition point from brake hose to brake line is located on the side member (it is located on the subframe in the
Audi A3) .

In the case of the 16" systems, 10" single brake servos are used on left-hand-drive models and 7/8" tandem brake servos on right-hand drive models.
Vehicles with 17" systems are equipped with 11" single brake servos for left-hand-drive models and with
7/8" tandem brake servos for right-hand drive models.
For the Audi TT, no dual rate characteristic* was applied to the brake servo.
The OHB-V function known from the Audi A3 * was implemented on vehicles with 3.2l VR6 engine and dual-clutch gearbox.
* dual rate and OHB-V are described in SSP 313
Like in Audi A3 models after November 2005, the contactless brake light sensor is used on the Audi
TT. Brake light and brake test switches are no longer required on the brake pedal.
The pedal assembly has been adopted from the
Audi A3.

ESP
System components
ESP unit
The Audi TT features a new ESP generation by Continental-Teves with the designation Mk60E1.
As with the Mk25E1 in the current Audi Q7, the
Mk60E1 has analogised switch valves
(4 intake valves and 2 block valves) and an integrated pressure sensor. In the case of analogised switch valves, the port cross-section is determined by the activation current. Unlike systems with conventional switch valves with the valve positions open and closed, more precise brake control is possible.
In the ESP control unit has the same integrated functions as in the Mk60 control unit on the Audi
A3, however these functions have been adapted to the Audi TT. The hill hold assist (hha) and driver steering recommendation (dsr) functions will be implemented at a later date. The Audi A3 system has been modified with regard to the operation of the ESP Off key.
Note
Due to the use of linearised switch valves, it is no longer possible to disconnect the control unit from the hydraulic unit in the service workshop.

Operation and displays
The functions of button E256 for ESP and TCS were extended as follows:
20
Briefly pressing the button (<3 s) deactivates only the TCS function. TCS OFF improves traction when starting from a stop on loose surfaces (e.g. on snow or sand).
TCS OFF is active up to a road speed of 70 kph. TCS is switched on automatically when this speed is exceeded.In all-wheel-drive models, TCS is automatically switched off again when the vehicle's road speed drops below 70 kph. In front-wheel-drive models, TCS is not automatically switched off when the vehicle's road speed drops below this threshold.
If the button is pressed for longer than 3 s, the ESP function is switched off.
When the brake is applied, TCS and ESP are switched on again for the duration of the braking manoeuvre and remain active until a stable driving condition is restored.
The ESP function is activated automatically if faults are diagnosed in the magnetic ride system or when actuating the rear spoiler.
If the button is pressed for longer than 10 s, the ESP function is switched on again and cannot be switched off again until the ignition has been turned off and on again.

Audi magnetic ride
Operating principle
The damping function is based on the magneto-rheological effect. The prerequisite for this is the use of a special damping fluid. This magneto-rheological fluid is a suspension consisting of a hydrocarbonbased synthetic oil in which soft magnetic particles with a diameter of 3-10 µ m are held in suspension.
To stabilise the fluid, various additives are added.
Applying a magnetic field changes the properties of the magneto-rheological fluid. The magnetic particles are aligned in the direction of the magnetic field lines. This alters the flux voltage of the fluid.

Magnetic particles Magnetic field

Magnetic coil not activated
When the magnetic coils are not activated electrically, the magnetic particles are arranged irregularly in the damper oil.During the piston stroke, the individual particles are forced with the fluid through the piston bores. The particle-laden suspension damping fluid has a low resistance to the movement of the piston. As a result the damping force is low.
Magnetic coil activated
381_033
When the magnetic coil is activated electrically, the magnetic particles are aligned with the magnetic field lines. Thus, long particle chains form in the vicinity of the piston.
These particle chains are aligned cross-wise before the fluid enters the piston bores. During the piston stroke, individual particles break up and are forced with the fluid through the piston bores. To "break up" these chains, force must be applied, i.e. work must be done. The resistance which the piston must overcome is greater than in the case of a non-energised magnetic coil, and is dependent on the amount of electrical current and the strength of the magnetic field.
This allows greater damping forces to be achieved.
System components
Damper
The magneto-rheological dampers are much simpler in design than conventional dampers. The complex conventional damping valves are no longer required. These have been replaced by bores in the piston through which the fluid is displaced. In addition, single-tube dampers are used. The magnetic coils are integrated in the pistons.
Power is supplied through the hollow piston rods along discrete lines from control unit J250. Depending on engine type (4 cylinder or 6 cylinder engines), different front axle dampers are used.A single damper is used for all engine types on the rear axle.

Audi magnetic ride
Special functions
Temperature model
The suspension damping becomes softer with increasing magneto-rheological fluid temperature.
A software module for temperature compensation is integrated in the control unit. The rising temperature is compensated by increasing the magnetic coil activation current.
Likewise, the activation current is reduced at low ambient temperatures.
Temperature is determined indirectly by measuring the resistance of the magnetic coil.
A current of 3A is applied to the coil for the duration of 40 ms.
The required voltage is determined and the resistance is calculated.
The basic value is the resistance measured in a vehicle which has been shut off for at least 6 hours. The following measurements are correlated with the basic value. Based on the change in resistance, the control unit determines the actual temperature in the shock absorber damper.In addition, the temperature of the control unit is calculated. This is done by evaluating the electrical currents provided by the control unit to activate the coils.
Temperature shut-off
The magnetic coil activation current must be increased in order to compensate for the effect of temperature increase in the dampers. However, increasing the electrical current causes further heating of the magnetic coil.Upwards of a defined threshold temperature of (90°C), therefore, it is no longer possible for the driver to select 'Sport' mode.
In 'Sport' mode, higher damping forces are produced by increasing the magnetic coil activation current. Activating the 'Sport' mode would, therefore, cause a further increase in the already high temperature in the suspension damper. The control unit is shut down when its temperature exceeds
110°C.
Emergency operation in case of failure in electrical activation of the magnetic coil
In case of failure in electrical activation of multiple magnetic coils, the magnetic coils of all suspension dampers are no longer activated.
In this case, the most comfortable suspension damping characteristic is set.

Shock absorber test
When the button is pressed for longer than 5 s, the magnetic coils are activated by the application of a constant electrical current.In this state, the shock absorbers can be tested on the test bench.
The indicator LED in the button flashes when the
"shock absorber test" mode is active. The system exists the mode automatically when the button is pressed again, after ignition on/off or when driving at a speed of at least 10 kph.

Address
The system can be addressed in the diagnostic tester under the address: 14 Wheel damping.
Coding
The coding tells the control unit the powertrain type and engine type of the vehicle. The control unit accepts the new coding after ignition on/off.
1 = heavy engine (6-cylinder)
3 = lightweight engine (4-cylinder)
3 = coupé with front-wheel drive
8 = coupé quattro

System initialisation - teaching in the new standard position
The system initialisation must be performed when the control unit J250 and/or one or more vehicle level senders is replaced. The characteristic curves of the vehicle level sender are stored in the control unit
During the system initialisation procedure, the control unit is informed which vehicle ride heights at the wheel positions match the actual measured values generated by the vehicle level sender. If these assignments are known to the control unit, then all measured values generated subsequently by the vehicle level sender can be converted to vehicle ride heights. The basic system initialisation procedure is identical to the procedure for initialising the aas systems in the A6 and A8. The system initialisation can only be performed when the code control unit is coded.
381_046
381_045
Final control diagnostics
The shock absorber dampers can be activated selectively in the final control diagnostics.
The shock absorber dampers are activated by applying a current of 2A.
Data blocks
The data blocks are used to check key system status information.The temperature values calculated for the dampers and control unit, for example, are represented in data block 28.
Cold starting
When control unit J250 or shock absorber dampers are replaced, the control unit must determine the electrical resistance values of the damper coils at ambient temperature. The control unit saves these values as "standard values" for purposes of temperature compensation (refer to "Special functions - temperature model").
This function is activated automatically after ignition on, provided the vehicle has been out of use for at least 3 hours (e.g. even after a a cold start in the morning) . During this time not in use, the temperatures of the dampers have adjusted to the ambient temperature. If the mechanic has fitted shock absorber dampers which are already at ambient temperature (e.g. parts sourced directly from the spare parts warehouse), the resistance measurement function can be started immediately by activating the "Cold start" function with the diagnostic tester.
Flashing
The control unit software can be flashed by an external data carrier (CD, online interface) .

Self Supporting Tires (SST)
SST tyres have run-flat capability because of their modified design compared to conventional tyres.
Much stiffer tyre sidewalls enable the vehicle to drive on for up to 50 km at a maximum speed of
80 kph even after a total loss of pressure.
Due to their modified tyre geometry, special wheels with the designation EH2 (extended hump 2) are used for SST tyres.To prevent inward displacement of the tyre beads in case of loss of tyre pressure, the bead seating has been modified substantially in comparison with conventional wheels. The bead is seated in a recess which supports the tyre towards the inside of the rim.
The special 17" wheels on the Audi TT can be used both for conventional tyres and for SST tyres. In the case of the 18" wheels, conventional tyres are available in combination with conventional rims. SST tyres are always combined with the low tyre pressure indicator.

Low tyre pressure indicator
Overview
In all markets except North America the Audi TT features a newly developed low tyre pressure indicator.
Being an indirect measuring system, no tyre pressure sensors are installed in the wheels.

Wheels and tyres
Design and function
Using a new evaluation method, it is now possible to detect simultaneous pressure loss to at multiple wheels. Tyre pressures are monitored simultaneously using two different concepts.
1. Tyre circumference monitoring
– Tyre circumference decreases as a function of loss of pressure. As a result the wheel must rotate more quickly to cover the same distance as a fully inflated tyre. Wheel speeds are transmitted to control unit J793 by the ESP control unit. In the current Audi A3, the wheel speeds of the diagonal wheels are added and both diagonal sums are correlated with one another. In this way, allowance is made for different wheel speeds when cornering. In the Audi TT, the tyre circumferences are compared axle by axle and side by side.
Allowance is made for yaw rate and steering angle when cornering.
2. Tyre vibration monitoring
– Torsional vibration is excited in each tyre while rolling, due to road surface unevenness. These vibrations can be determined by evaluating the wheel speed signals. When the tyre pressure decreases, the vibration characteristics change.This monitoring concept, which is an additional feature compared to the Audi A3, it is now possible to reliably detect simultaneous loss of pressure at multiple wheels, as for example occurs over time at all four wheels due to diffusion.
Operation and displays
Tyre pressure monitoring is activated with the SET key. This function must always be activated when tire pressures are changed or different wheels/tyres are fitted to the vehicle. This can only be done when the ignition is on and the vehicle stationary. The
SET key must be pressed for at least 5 seconds in order to activate the tyre pressure monitoring function.
381_061
Warnings are always indicated by the warning lamp in the dash panel insert.
For this purpose, the warning lamp is activated in two colours.
381_054
The following displays are possible:
– In the event of a rapid loss of pressure at a single wheel (tyre damage), the red warning lamp is activated. If the vehicle a driver information system, an additional text display appears indicating the position of the wheel affected.
– In case of slow loss of pressure, which occurs gradually at multiple wheels due to diffusion, the red warning lamp is also activated. In this case, the optional text display appears but no positional information is given. The displays are activated when the tyre pressure drops below an a coded minimum value.
– When system faults are detected, the yellow warning lamp is activated.

Wheels and tyres
Operation and displays
The teach-in process is performed once after the
SET key is pressed for the low tyre pressure indicator. During the next trip, the control unit saves the measured wheel speeds and the vibration characteristics of the wheels in various vehicle operating states. The vehicle operating states are basically defined by the following parameters: vehicle speed, steering angle, transverse acceleration and yaw velocity. These teach-in values subsequently make up the target data which is used for monitoring.
After approximately 10 minutes of driving, it is already possible to detect a breakdown (rapid loss of pressure) . Approximately 60 minutes of driving are required to detect diffusion loss (slow loss of pressure).

Design and function
In the Audi TT the rear tyre pressure monitor aerial
R96 is integrated in the tyre pressure monitor control unit J502.The control unit is fitted in the low tyre pressure indicator behind the dash panel insert. In the case of the tyre pressure monitoring system, communication with the vehicle periphery via the convenience CAN bus.
Trailer
Tyre pressure monitoring system J502
The aerial receives the radio signals from tyre pressure sensors G222-G226. The sensors operate at a radio frequency of 315MHz. The sensors are identical in design and function to those on the Audi A6.
A new feature is the use of the valve body as a transmitter antenna. The valve body and sensor can no longer be separated. As with the current models
A4, A6 and Q7, the sensors do not start to transmit until the wheels being to turn. To meet the countryspecific statutory requirements, the battery service life is 10 years. The tyre pressure of the spare wheel is not monitored. When the customer orders a fullsize spare wheel, the sensor is already installed in the wheel if the vehicle is equipped with a tyre pressure monitoring system.
The E492 button used in the tyre pressure monitoring system is identical to the button used by the low tyre pressure indicator. Pressing the button displays the actual tyre pressures as new target pressures.
As with the low tyre pressure indicator, the button is connected to the control unit by discrete lines.

Design and function
Tyre pressure warnings are indicated by the yellow warning lamp in the dash panel insert. No positionrelated warning is given. Warnings are indicated in accordance with country-specific statutory requirements at a residual tyre pressure of 75% or less.Tyre pressures are determined taking into account the tyre air temperature.
381_054
Service work
The main changes to the service work on the low tyre pressure indicator are listed in the following.
Coding
The coding tells the control unit the system variant, powertrain type, gearbox type, wheel size and type of tyre used on the vehicle. The control unit accepts the new coding after ignition on/off.
Target pressure ,Y bar
Target pressure X, bar
Tyre (standard, limp-home, extra load)
8 = PR No. 7K8 (= tyre pressure monitoring system)
Adaption
The control unit learns the new tyre pressure sensors automatically when the ignition is turned on after the vehicle has been shut off for at least 20 minutes. When new tyre pressure sensor identification numbers are recognised, the fault indicator lamp is activated. The driver enable monitoring of the actual tyre pressures by pressing the SET key.
The system is now ready for operation again.
The tyre pressure sensor identification numbers can be transmitted manually to the control unit using the function "10 Adaption". This bypasses the waiting period. Each identification number is indicated on the tyre pressure sensor housing.
Note
The handheld transmitters for the tyre pressure monitoring system VAS 6287 cannot be used on the tyre pressure monitoring system of the
Audi TT.

Innovations in the electronics, electrical and infotainment systems in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
Self-Study Programme 382 describes the new features of the convenience electronics in the
Audi TT Coupé ‘07. The proven electronic technology of the Audi A3 ‘04 has been adopted for the TT Coupé. The most striking new feature is the automatic extending rear spoiler activated by the convenience system central control unit.
In the TT Coupé, the driver information system (DIS) in the centre display of the dash panel insert has an extended settings and query menu.
The customer can use the settings menu to configure functions and make adjustments. This was previously possible only in vehicles with MMI.
382_014
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 offers the customer a multitude of functions and equipment options, with the result that the number of control units has increased considerably compared to the predecessor model.
To ensure smooth interaction between control units, the control units communicate with one another across various bus systems.
The networking structure is largely identical to that of the Audi A3 `04. In this self-study programme you will be informed about the network topology of the
TT Coupé and about the installation locations of the various control units as well as their functions.
382_044
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 comes with new generation
2plus radios. The radios feature a new reception concept as well as
MP3 compatible CD drives.
The TT Coupé, as do the Audi A3 and A4, comes with a BNS 5.0 radio navigation system with MMI user interface and CD navigation.
The BOSE Surround Sound system, which includes
12 loudspeakers driven by a 255 watt amplifier, sets new standards in this vehicle class.

Installation location
The gateway is installed under the dash panel adjacent the pedal bracket and can be accessed from the driver's footwell.
382_061
Function diagram
The function diagram is identical to that of data bus diagnostic interface as featured on the Audi A3 ´04.
The dash panel insert J285 and the data bus diagnostic interface J533 can wake each other from idle via the bidirectional wake-up line. The dash panel insert CAN between the dash panel insert and the data bus diagnostic interface is a highspeed
CAN and, unlike the convenience CAN bus, is not wake-up capable via the CAN line.
Onboard voltage is applied to the wake-up line when terminal 15 is "on".
This wake-up function is required to wake up the dash panel insert CAN without "terminal 15 on" after the CAN bus has been in idle state.
For example, to be able to display date, time and mileage in the dash panel insert after opening the driver's door, but before turning on the ignition.

382_062
Transport mode
The Transport mode, which keeps power consumption to a minimum while the vehicle is being transported, is implemented in the gateway on the Audi TT Coupé ´07.
Transport mode can be activated and deactivated using the diagnostic testers. This can be done both using the Services function in the vehicle selfdiagnostics and using the gateway test plan in the
Guided Functions mode or in the Guided Fault
Finding mode.

Master function for terminal 15 across the powertrain CAN-bus
As in the Audi A3 ´04, information transmitted across the powertrain CAN bus includes a run-on function.
This allows the various control units to transmit information relevant to safety even when the ignition is off.
With regard to terminal 15 run-on, there are three different groups of powertrain CAN bus control units:
Active and passive control units as well as control units without run-on.
Active control units are control units which are able to keep the powertrain CAN bus awake.
Passive control units remain awake until the gateway signals it is ready to enter Sleep mode, but cannot independently keep the powertrain CAN bus awake.
Control units without run-on function shut off immediately after "ignition off".

The Lowline variant is the basic version. The basic version has, in lieu of a centre display, dedicated warning lamps which indicate warnings and fault conditions in the system to the driver. The low washer fluid warning lamp, previously available only in the Highline variant, has been added.
Midline variant
The Midline variant is only used in vehicles with automatic gearbox which do not have a driver information system (DIS). In the Midline variant, the centre display is used only for gear indication and ambient temperature display. The ambient temperature display is standard equipment in the Audi TT Coupé ´07.
Highline variant
The Highline variant has a centre display with a resolution of 64 x 88 pixels in lieu of the warning l;lamps.
Warnings and fault conditions are indicated by yellow and red icons on the centre display.
The Highline variant is fitted automatically in combination with the following optional equipment:

Immobiliser IV
The immobiliser is integrated in dash panel insert J285.
The immobiliser data is stored in the FAZIT database of AUDI AG.
The immobiliser IV can be adapted using the Audi diagnostic testers in the "Guided Fault Finding" and in the
"Guided Functions" modes.
The diagnostic tester must be online in order to make a connection to the FAZIT database.
The dash panel insert is addressed via the address word 17 and the immobiliser via the address word 25.
This means that data blocks, adaption channels and fault memories are handled separately.
Reference
For further information on immobiliser IV as well as the FAZIT database, refer to Self-Study
Programme 294.
New features of the onboard computer
The onboard computer has the following new features:
● In the Audi TT Coupé ´07 the mileage since the last reset of the onboard computer is indicated on onboard computer levels 1 and 2.The maximum range of the mileage indicator is 9999.9 kilometres and the resolution is 100 metres.
●
●
The driving time display range was extended from 99:59 h to 999:59 h on both onboard computer levels.
Each individual display variable of the onboard computer can be deactivated separately in the convenience menu under "SET". This applies to both onboard computer levels.
● All display variables of the onboard computer can be reset in the convenience menu under "SET".
14
Note
The new features described in this section of control unit with display in dash panel insert J285 of the
Audi TT Coupé ’07 will also be introduced in the current Audi A3 ‘04 after the transition from model year
2006 to 2007.
Display of cruise control system speed setting
When the cruise control system is active, the current speed setting is indicated on the centre display of the dash panel insert in the Audi TT Coupé ´07. If one of the two onboard computer levels is shown on the centre display, the set speed is indicated continuously.

Electrically adjustable rear spoiler
Introduction
The Audi TT Coupé ´07 has, as standard, an "electrically adjustable rear spoiler" function.
The extended rear spoiler provides additional driving stability when driving at high speeds.
Rear spoiler in lower end position (retracted)
382_011
Rear spoiler in upper end position (extended)
382_010
Function and operation
Automatic mode
The rear spoiler is extended automatically when a speed of 120 kph is exceeded. When the vehicle speed drops below the 80 kph speed threshold again, the rear spoiler is retracted automatically.
382_007
Manual mode
The rear spoiler can be extended up to a speed of 120 kph by flicking the adjustable rear spoiler switch E127.
The rear spoiler can also be retracted and extended within a road range between 20 kph and 120 kph by flicking the adjustable rear spoiler switch E127. The rear spoiler cannot be retracted at speeds of 120 kph or higher.
When driving at speeds of between 0 kph and 20 kph, the switch must be kept pressed while the rear spoiler is retracting. If the switch is released while the rear spoiler is retracting, the rear spoiler will stop in its momentary position. Actuating the switch again will cause the rear spoiler to extend again.
The adjustable rear spoiler warning lamp K242 integrated in switch E127 comes on whenever the rear spoiler is extended manually. As soon as the rear spoiler is retracted again or the system switches to Automatic mode because the vehicle is travelling faster than 120 kph, the warning lamp goes out again.
Note
When the Transport mode is activated, the Automatic mode is active and the "Manual mode" is deactivated.It is not possible to extend and retract the rear spoiler by actuating the adjustable rear spoiler switch when Transport mode is set.

System behaviour in case of malfunction
A detected system malfunction is indicated to the driver by activating a rear spoiler warning lamp in the rev counter. If no fault has occurred, this indicator lamp comes on for 3 seconds after turning on the ignition and goes out again.
In the case of the following faults, the rear spoiler is extended for safety reasons:
●
●
●
●
The convenience system central control unit J393 receives no road speed signal
The convenience system central control unit no longer receives any CAN messages
Implausible signals to rear spoiler adjustment limit switches 1 and 2 are detected
The convenience system central control unit is supplied with undervoltage (U < 10.5 V)
382_014
Note
If a fault is detected in the
"electrically adjustable rear spoiler" function, the ESP can no longer be switched off manually. If the ESP was switched off at this time, it is reactivated automatically.
Integration of the function into the vehicle
The "electrically adjustable rear spoiler" function is implemented in the convenience system central control unit J393. The control unit activates the adjustable rear spoiler motor V52 and reads in the two limit switches
F135 and F136, which are used to identify both limit positions of the rear spoiler.
The convenience system control unit J393 also reads in the adjustable rear spoiler switch E127 and activates the adjustable rear spoiler warning lamp K242 in the button according to the current status.

Design of the "electrically adjustable rear spoiler"
The "electrically adjustable rear spoiler" consists of two components which can be ordered separately:
●
● the rear spoiler module the spoiler wing
A DC motor mounted on the rear spoiler module transmits a rotary movement to the input shaft vi a gear and special joint (four-way joint). The shaft converts this movement to a lifting movement by means of left and right reversing mechanisms. The lifting movement moves the spoiler wing mounted on the rear spoiler module from the lower limit position to the upper limit position or vice versa, depending on momentary position of the rear spoiler.
Two limit switches for detecting the lower and upper limit positions are actuated by the four-way joint.

Infotainment
Aerial system
Radios with phase diversity have two aerial inputs which can be diagnosed individually. The radios differ in this respect from the previous radios or the current radio navigation systems.
Radios with phase diversity do not have a separate diversity switch.The Diversity function is integrated in the radio. Only one aerial is connected to each of the two radio aerial inputs, thus simplifying diagnosis. Each aerial signal can be read out in a separate data block.
Although only two aerials are used, reception quality and interference immunity are better than those of the previous systems.
FM2 FM1 / AM
382_063
Note
Different aerials are used by the new radios and navigation systems. For this reason, radios cannot be replaced with navigation systems in the unchanged FM aerial system. Reception is much poorer when the wrong aerial system is used.
Although different FM aerials are used, the radios and navigation systems have the same aerial connectors. The differences between the aerials are described on page 52.
MP3 basics - ID3 tag
The ID3 tag is a field containing additional information which can be attached to MP3 audio files. ID3 stands for "Identify an MP3".
MP3 files can, but need not necessarily, contain ID3 tags.

Telephone
– Operation of the optional factory-fitted mobile phone adapter with navigation system speller
– Mute function for handsfree telephone: If the mobile phone adapter is factory-fitted, muting is via the infotainment CAN bus. A direct wiring plug contact is provided for retrofit solutions. Retrofit solutions cannot be operated with the navigation system.
– LF input for handsfree telephone: when the radio is switched on, the vehicle loudspeakers are used as loudspeakers for the handsfree telephone.
Sound
– Integrated 2 x 20 W amplifier
– Auxiliary sound amplifier connected
– Connectivity for optional auxiliary BOSE sound amplifier
– Speed-dependent volume control (GALA) via infotainment CAN bus
– Basic sound setting via body version coding (A4 saloon/Avant/Cabrio, A3, TT).
Service
– Comfort coding: after the power supply to the radio has been disconnected, it is not necessary to enter the 4-digit PIN if the radio is restored to operation in the same vehicle.
– Diagnosis via CAN bus (TT, A3 8P) or L-wire (A4 8E). The scope of diagnosis
(data blocks, adaption, coding, etc.) is basically the same as for diagnosis of the Navigation plus system (RNS-E).
– The system software can be updated as required with a flash CD.
44
Technical variants
In addition to the Audi TT Coupé ‘07, the navigation system will in future also be used in other Audi models equipped with the infotainment CAN bus. The necessary adjustments are basically the shape of the front trim panel, the CAN communication and the diagnosis path (CAN, L-wire, etc.)
Simultaneous navigation and CD playback
With the BNS 5.0 navigation system, it is possible to navigate and listen to CDs simultaneously. For this purpose, the system is equipped with an internal memory into which the required map data can be loaded after entering the navigation destination.
After entering the route, the system first computes the distance to the route destination.
Load navigation CD
Enter navigation route
The map features of the route are then copied to a memory integrated in the system. If the CD is removed during the copy process, the system displays the following query
"Do you want to cancel loading the route features?"
to indicate that the corridor has not been loaded completely.
After completing the copy process, the navigation
CD can easily be removed.
The map data copied to the internal memory is also available for navigating to other route destinations within the copied area. This means that it is not necessary to load the navigation CD to navigate to each new navigation destination.

Behaviour of the internal map memory while driving
Route with corridor
Destination radius
Location radius
After entering the route destination a map section is copied to an internal memory. The map section consists of a location radius, a destination radius as well as a slightly narrower route corridor in between.
When the vehicle is driving towards the destination, the location of the vehicle changes. To make optimum use of internal memory, the position and size of the location radius are updated continuously by the system when the navigation CD is loaded.
Likewis, the size of the destination radius as well as the width of the corridor are updated continuously in the internal memory. In codedthe event that the navigation CD is removed, this ensures that the optimum map section is always stored in the system memory.
When the navigation CD is removed from the system, the map content stored at the time of removal of the CD remains stored in the system memory. The map content remains stored in the deactivated system for 72 hours.
This enables one to enter a route from town A to town B and to navigate between town A to town B over a lengthy period of time without having to reload the navigation CD.
382_053
If the actual location and the destination are too far apart when the navigation CD is removed, the system may request that the navigation CD be reloaded while navigating to the destination.
The size of the corridor is defined by the size of the system memory. Due to the different density of the navigation data in towns and in sparsely populated areas, it is not possible to specify the size of the corridor area.
Note
When map data is stored in the system, the static current consumption of the system rises slightly. Map data can only be cleared prematurely by disconnecting the system from the power supply. Please bear this fact in mind when performing static current measurements on the vehicle.
Sound systems
Basic sound (standard equipment with chorus radio)
The Audi TT Coupé ’07 is equipped as standard with a two-way loudspeaker system.
The treble loudspeakers are installed in the dash panel, while the bass loudspeakers are installed the front doors. This variant is only available in combination with the standard chorus radio.
The 2 x 20 watt amplifier is also integrated in the chorus radio.
The loudspeakers are diagnosed via the radio, i.e. via address word 56.

BOSE Surround Sound
In the Audi TT Coupé ’07, a BOSE surround sound system is optional in combination with the concert and symphony radios as well as Audi navigation systems. The sound system features BOSE 6000 amplifier technology with 8-channel DSP amplifier and Audio Pilot which set new standards for this automobile class.
The amplifier drives a total of 12 loudspeakers. It was adapted specially for use in the TT Coupé.
Compared with the standard sound system, a three-way system and an additional subwoofer are installed in the left-hand side trim of the rear seat bench. As with other current BOSE sound systems - a microphone is integrated in the overhead module to record background noise. The DSP amplifier utilises the background noise information picked up by the microphone to frequency-adjust the output signals to the loudspeakers, resulting in a well-balanced sound.
All loudspeakers are diagnosed via the amplifier, i.e. via address word 47. Vehicle model, equipment, networking and type of driving noise compensation are also coded in the amplifier.

The Audi iPod adaptor can be used to connect the Apple iPod to radios with communication CAN bus. The adaptor converts the CD changer messages from the radio for the iPod. It can be connected as an alternative to the CD changer. Simultaneous operation of the CD changer and iPod adaptor is not possible, because both devices use the same port on the radio. All iPods with
Dock Connector, a 30-pin blade terminal, can be connected to the adaptor iPod. Models without a Dock
Connector, e.g. with USB port only, cannot be connected to the iPod adaptor.
The iPod adaptor allows the iPod to be operated using the CD changer control functions. The displays on radios or navigation systems support only CD changers with max. 6 discs and max. 99 tracks per CD. For this reason, they cannot display folders, artists and tracks like the iPod display.
To overcome this system limitation of the CD changer interface, an operating concept adapted to the interface has been developed.
382_033
The Apple iPod and the associated PC software
(iTunes) have a function for programming playlists.
A playlist can have a freely selectable name and contain any number of songs in a fixed sequence.
This feature has been utilised.
The iPod adaptor loads the first 5 playlists in alphabetical order. The corresponding CD number is assigned to each playlist. The first alphabetical playlist appears on the radio as CD 1, the second playlist as CD 2, and so on. All tracks are loaded in alphabetical order of artist as CD 6.
382_034
To program special playlists for use of the iPod in the car, it is recommended to place a number in front of the playlist name.
When playlists are sorted in alphabetical order, a number always takes precedence over the letter "A".
The playlists "1_Mozart", "2_Beethoven", "3_ Chopin", etc. are loaded by the adaptor based on the preceding number in the order CD1 = 1_Mozart, CD2 = 2_Beethoven, CD3 = 3_ Chopin.
The songs are displayed as Track 01, Track 02, etc. like on the CD changer. The numbering on the radio display goes up to Track 99. All tracks in a playlist can be played. If more than 99 tracks are stored in a playlist, only the last two digits of the track number are displayed for tracks 100 and upwards. Track 00 is displayed for track 200 and Track 37 for track 1037.
When the radio is on, the rechargeable battery of the iPod is charged using the iPod adaptor.
To disconnect the iPod from the adaptor, switch the radio off.

Innovations in the electronics, electrical and infotainment systems in the Audi TT Coupé ‘07
Self-Study Programme 382 describes the new features of the convenience electronics in the
Audi TT Coupé ‘07. The proven electronic technology of the Audi A3 ‘04 has been adopted for the TT Coupé. The most striking new feature is the automatic extending rear spoiler activated by the convenience system central control unit.
In the TT Coupé, the driver information system (DIS) in the centre display of the dash panel insert has an extended settings and query menu.
The customer can use the settings menu to configure functions and make adjustments. This was previously possible only in vehicles with MMI.
382_014
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 offers the customer a multitude of functions and equipment options, with the result that the number of control units has increased considerably compared to the predecessor model.
To ensure smooth interaction between control units, the control units communicate with one another across various bus systems.
The networking structure is largely identical to that of the Audi A3 `04. In this self-study programme you will be informed about the network topology of the
TT Coupé and about the installation locations of the various control units as well as their functions.
382_044
The Audi TT Coupé ‘07 comes with new generation
2plus radios. The radios feature a new reception concept as well as
MP3 compatible CD drives.
The TT Coupé, as do the Audi A3 and A4, comes with a BNS 5.0 radio navigation system with MMI user interface and CD navigation.
The BOSE Surround Sound system, which includes
12 loudspeakers driven by a 255 watt amplifier, sets new standards in this vehicle class.

The development targets for the bodyshell of the Audi TT
With a weight advantage of 48 % over a comparable all-steel bodyshell, in addition to an optimised weight distribution, the new composite aluminium-steel spaceframe body of the Audi TT marks yet another milestone in the development of modern Audi bodyshells.
Crash safety of the bodyshell is enhanced by means of load-bearing structures at the front end, sides and rear end, with a heavy emphasis on pedestrian safety.
To ensure efficient volume bodyshell production, various new joining and production techniques are employed.
The repair concept is based heavily on the well-known aluminium repair concept. However, of course, the materials combination of aluminium and steel necessitated that new approaches be taken.

Technological concept
Sheet-steel parts are used for the first time in the
ASF of the new Audi TT in addition to aluminium castings, aluminium extruded sections and aluminium sheet-metal parts. Collectively, they make up the body structure. Vehicle weight distribution has been optimised by using sheet-steel parts in the rear body section. This has a direct bearing on sporting characteristics, such as driving dynamics and acceleration as well as safety characteristics, such as stopping distance and driving stability
In spite of the partial use of sheet-steel parts, the total body weight of 277 kg, including attachments such as doors and lids, is considerably less than that of a comparable all-steel body.
Although the new TT has grown in size, the gross weight of the vehicle has been reduced through the use of the aluminium-steel bodyshell.
The body structure of the new Audi TT has higher strength and 50 % higher torsional rigidity than its predecessor.

Contact corrosion
Aluminium has a passivating oxide surface layer which protects the material underneath from corrosion. This is why an unpainted aluminium part normally does not corrode.
However, if there is contact between aluminium and a metal higher up in the electrochemical series than aluminium and if an electrolyte, such as salt water, is present in this region, contact corrosion will occur.
The greater the difference in potential, the greater the contact corrosion. As aluminium is normally the lesser noble metal, it degrades.
Contact corrosion
6
383_005
Schematic of contact corrosion with example
383_004
Contact corrosion can only be prevented by taking measures to stop the flow of electrical current induced by the potential difference between the two metals. This is best achieved by painting the surfaces. However, the risk of corrosion is high even if a tiny amount of paint damage occurs.
In the case of the Audi TT, the following anti-corrosion measures have been taken:
– coating of all steel screws and fasteners such as self-piercing rivets
– Galvanising of all sheet-metal parts (zinc and aluminium have a smaller potential difference than steel and aluminium)
– Insulation by means of adhesive
– Sealing of aluminium-steel joints
Reference
For detailed information on contact corrosion, please refer to Self-Study Programme 239 "Audi
A2 - Body" .
Joining steel and aluminium
One of the challenges for the development of the
Audi TT bodyshell was the attachment of the sheetsteel rear-end parts to the aluminium body assemblies.
Thermal joining processes such as MIG welding can be ruled out because it is not possible by these means to make a joint which has the requisite structural and dynamic strength and will not result in contact corrosion.

Special requirements are made with regard to the strength and corrosion protection of the joints between aluminium body parts and steel parts.
This is ensured by non-thermal joining of parts using coated self-piercing rivets and special screws in combination with bonding.
Adhesive

383_012
Aluminium and steel joints with faulty corrosion protection can exhibit much higher corrosion rates than all-aluminium joints or all-steel joints.When making aluminium-steel joints, therefore, highest standards of quality must be maintained at all times during the production process and in the service workshop.
Adhesive bonding is the basis for the corrosion protection of corrosion-susceptible aluminium/galvanised steel joints in the bodyshell of the Audi TT.In this way, the mating materials are superficially insulated, thus suppressing corrosion processes at the point of contact. As a further measure, all composite joints either sealed with PVC or coated with wax preservative after the cataphoretic dip coating (KTL) process.
This illustration shows clearly what effects contact corrosion can have if adequate corrosion protection is not provided. A this joint, the flange was sealed in the bodyshell without using adhesive.
The aluminium sheet shown here exhibits severe contact corrosion, which has resulted in mechanical failure of the punch riveted joint.

Punch riveting
Punch riveting is one of the principal joining techniques used on the bodyshell of the new Audi TT. This technique is used for joining aluminium body parts and for joining aluminium body parts to steel body parts.
The process has been in use since launch of the Audi A2. Self piercing rivets with two different diameters and lengths are used in the Audi TT.
Punch riveting process
383_032
Applications of punch riveting
383_051
Clinching
With clinching, the metal sheets to be joined are clamped between a die and a blankholder. The sheets are then pushed down into the die by a punch to form an interlocking joint. However, joints produced in this way is not as strong as joints produced by punch riveting, for example.
In the Audi TT, this technology is used on attachments such as doors and lids. Several clinched joints are also located in the area of the B-post and rear wheel arch. In this area, aluminium sheets as well as steel and aluminium sheets are clinched together.

Joining techniques and production processes
MIG welding
Aluminium parts have largely been joined by means of metal inert gas welding since the launch of the Audi aluminium bodyshell in the Audi A8 (1994) . This technique is principally used to make joints between castings and extruded sections, as well as sheet-metal parts.
This joining technique is notable for producing high-strength joints, but it introduces a great deal of heat into the joint and has a relatively slow process speed.

Structural bonding
In certain areas, adhesive bonding is used supplementary to clinched joints and punch riveted joints, solid punch riveted joints, Flow Drill screw connections and resistance spot welds. This improves joint strength.
Adhesive bonding is also used for strengthening of seam joints, e.g. in the rear wheel arch. In other areas of the body, adhesive beads are used for sealing and insulation between aluminium and steel sheets, as well as for noise reduction.

Joining techniques and production processes
New joining technique: solid punch riveting (Kerb-Konus riveting)
Solid punch riveting or Kerb-Konus riveting involves the use of aluminium or coated stainless steel rivets. In contrast to punch riveting, the rivet is punched through both sheets to be joined.
Unlike steel rivets, aluminium solid punch rivets can be reworked mechanically. This is the case with the joint between the body side section and the drip moulding. However, the strength of solid punch riveted joints is inferior to that of punch riveted joints.

Information on the repair concept
Aluminium solid punch rivets are used in the C-post drip moulding area, while coated stainless steel solid punch rivets are used in the region of the roof frame. Stainless steel rivets must not be drilled out or ground, due to the risk of corrosion.

New joining technique: Flow Drill screwing
Automatic direct screwing enables joints to be made between any materials, even if these materials can be accessed from one side only. A special coated screw is driven under high surface pressure through a hole in the outer part to be joined. The lower part is not predrilled. The pressure and rotational speed soften the material and allow the screw to be inserted.

Joining techniques and production processes
New joining technique: aluminium laser welding
(invisible roof seam)
Laser welding has been used for joining aluminium body parts since the launch of the Audi A2. In most cases, sheet-metal parts are welded onto castings or extruded parts. The invisible joint in the roof area is joined using a new joining technique: laser welding.

To ensure consistent laser welding of aluminium parts, the parts to be welded must have a perfectly clean surface. This is achieved either by washing the component parts followed by chemical pickling or by using the new Laser Clean process.
A controlled laser beam removes all residues from the surface by heating it for a short time. Parts cleaned using this method can be directly laser-welded.

Repair concept
Aluminium repair
The repair concept for the all-aluminium body parts is similar to that for the repair of previous Audi aluminium-bodied vehicles.
If the vehicle structure is damaged, beam 1 can also be replaced by undoing the screw connection. All further damage to the vehicle front end can only be repaired by welding suitable genuine parts into place.
The front end of the vehicle is designed in such a way that the bumper beams and bolted crash boxes can be replaced after minor collisions up to approx.
15 kph.

The four-chamber extruded section is located beneath the sill moulding.A special repair method was developed for damaged outer chambers. When repair work is needed, the extruded section is split vertically so that the two rear chambers including the centre ridge of the four-chamber profile remain.
A dual-chamber genuine part developed specially for this repair solution is welded to the remainder of the sill profile using a continuous MIG weld seam at the top and bottom. In addition, the U-shaped channel in the genuine part is filled with an adhesive bead which provides additional strength and eliminates noise transmission between the two sills.

Repair concept
Steel repairs
The rear end of the Audi TT is only area where it is possible to carry out repair work involving only steel parts and where the aluminium-steel joint is fully intact.
This repair work can be carried out on the
– rear end section
– rear side member (body side section undamaged)
– rear floorpan
Basically, the repair procedure is the same as for allsteel-bodied vehicles. Due to the danger of contact corrosion in aluminium body parts, however, special safety precautions must be taken. Grinding dust of steel parts, particularly flying sparks caused by cutting or welding work, must not be allowed to drop onto the aluminium parts.
This also applies to painted aluminium parts! Red hot steel parts can damage the paintwork and steel particles can come into contact with the aluminium body parts, leading to contact corrosion on the undamaged aluminium body.
Therefore, the complete bodyshell must be protected carefully when carrying out steel repairs. This is done by using suitable protective covers and by masking the body with masking tape. Furthermore, cutting work may only be performed using a body saw. If grinding work is needed, this must be done using grinding discs which produce little or no flying sparks. The spot welding machine should be used for welding work where possible, because it produces less weld spatter during the welding process.

Damage to be repaired
383_040
Aluminium-steel repairs
In the case of body side or rear-end damage, both aluminium and steel body parts may become damaged. This is the case, for example, when the body side section (aluminium) and rear wheel arch (steel) are damaged. After removing the damaged parts, the new genuine parts are installed in accordance with the repair procedures described in the previous sections. Joining of steel and aluminium parts must be carried out with the greatest care in order to eliminate the possibility of future contact corrosion.
Two-component car body adhesive DA 001 730 A1 and rivets or screws are used for joining. As in series production, an insulating layer is placed between the two materials to prevent contact corrosion. When welding steel body parts, the aluminium parts must be carefully covered and masked!
Reference
All body repair work must be performed in accordance with the guidelines set out in the current workshop literature!

Net.
There are now two appliances with modern control systems which are ideal for welding work on the Audi aluminium body.
The welding appliances, when used properly, produce perfect aluminium welded joints which have optimum strength.
Qualification of aluminium
A special knowledge and special skills are required to repair aluminium bodyshells. A prerequisite for successful body repairs is participation in the relevant training courses.
Particularly for welding work, certification of employees according to international standard DIN
EN ISO 9606-2 is important.

Car body safety concept
Head-on collision, side impact and rear collision
Likewise, in terms of crash safety, the new TT makes no compromises. The front beams consist of aluminium extruded sections and aluminium castings.
In combination with the front beams and a subframe, they reduce and distribute the forces which act on the car body during a head-on collision.
Large-sized beams in the rear end protect the occupant cell.High-strength aluminium beams in the doors provide side impact protection. The aluminium bonnet is designed to all requirements for pedestrian safety.
The simulation provides information on the collision behaviour of the body structure at a very early stage in the development process. For this purpose, calculations are done on the basis of the available car body data using the Finite Elements Method. The results are incorporated into the ongoing design process, thus allowing the body structure design to be optimised in respect of the relevant crash loads.
Simulation Euro NCAP head-on collision

To check the theoretical results and to meet statutory requirements, actual tests are conducted.
Various test conditions are simulated on the basis of the applicable standard.

Car body safety concept
Pedestrian safety
Pedestrian safety is an increasingly important factor. Various measures were implemented in the new
Audi TT in order to meet the safety requirements.
When designing the bonnet, importance was attached to a stable design which yields to absorb head impacts. This is achieved by the honeycomblike structure of the car body inner panelling.
28
383_034
The overall concept provides for deformation zones between the bonnet and the units or car body structural parts.
To reduce leg impact force at the front end, the bumper cover has been decoupled and an impactabsorbing foam part has been integrated between the bumper beam and bumper cover.
383_044
The development tools "Simulation" and "Testing" were used for design.
Headform
(head impact)
Lower legform

Head impact
To test the head impact a hemisphere which represents the head is catapulted onto the bonnet.
The relevant physical variables are determined, on the basis of which conclusions are drawn regarding impact loads.
Leg impact
Leg impact is simulated by means of a test configuration in which a test body similar to the actual body part impacts the vehicle bumper.

Electromechanical rear spoiler
The new Audi TT has as standard an electrically extendable rear spoiler. The extended rear spoiler significantly increases driving stability at high speeds. The spoiler extends automatically at a speed of 120 kph and retracts at a speed of 80 kph.
At speeds of less then 120 kph, the rear spoiler can be actuated manually with a switch in the centre console.
The unit consisting of the rear spoiler module and the spoiler wing is integrated in the boot lid of the
Audi TT. The rear spoiler module with drive unit, input shaft and reversing mechanism (hinge) is bolted with self-adjusting elements to the sheetsteel spoiler wing painted in the body colour.
