Glad I found this! Great job! I have a 2002 TT MK1 with a leaking heater core. I replaced the radiator recently, so I am ready for this job. Done two other heater cores, one on a Chevy Silverado truck and long ago on a Ford Fairmont with an inline 6 cylinder engine. I'll need the video on the heater matrix box, so I will be looking to save it also. I think I should pull the seats too, for convenience and much needed deep cleaning. I love my TT and want to teach my daughters how to drive a stick shift. I plan to also to replace the turn signal mechanism and have the instrument panel refurbished because the screen lost many pixels. Thank you for your effort! Cheers,
I watched this video a couple of times. Finally attempted this to address heater core, bend doors and AC. Would never want to do it again but it worked and all back together. Thank you.
@BWSTT now I have to bleed the abs module, brakes and clutch.... 3.5 years later may have it on the road in a week or so. Do you have any videos of bleeding with vagcom? I have watched so many of your videos over the last couple of years.
Thank you for having relevant recent videos that are very good! Love my TT but finding trusty info is getting hard. Thanks for the vids, my TT appreciates it!
Get ya self a selfie stick with a magnet at one end with a telescopic fitting in between and a tightening spherical bearings too boot. A good magnet can grip on tiny bits of steel. :)
Great video! In the summer i Will start to do the same job, please follow up with a video how to also replace the heater core and evaporator. Thanks! Good luck!
Have you ever had to replace/repair the blend door gear/actuator? Our 2002 just started making a clacking sound when the temperature control is either turned on or off. Is this a DIY job to the best of your recollection? Love your videos :) thanks 0:03
Thank you for the video had to watch it a couple of times for the airbag connector. On the steering angle sensor on the steering wheel if if turns is thar a problem? Also how would you suggest reattaching the tweeter wires when putting back together? Have to do blend door foam, heater core and AC. .
That’s actually not as bad a job as I thought - that said, no plans to attempt that any time soon 😂 Would love to retrim the dash one day, looks like its at least doable. Thanks for the vid!
Excellent video and EXTREMELY helpful. I do have one question - I disconnected my negative battery terminal before I started, removed the dash to repair my foamless heater blender doors and put it all together. All went well, but now I have an Airbag light in my dash cluster. Is this typical and if so, how do I clear it? The wiring is all back as it was. Thanks again, I do hope you have the time to keep making videos!
Surprisingly easy job to do IF you have the instructions and patience. I have almost no mechanical experience until the last 2 years and did this (twice) on a pre-2000 bimmer to replace the evap, with great success.
As someone with limited experience, how long did it take you? I need to get to some of the vents and dismantling the dash seems like the best way to do it but I'm not sure if I can pull it off. Definitely have the patience, but maybe not the time.
If you've removed the glovebox, the steering bottom cover, the middle console a few times or fitted an aftermarket radio, its not that difficult, it takes time, organization and many phone pictures. Oh and get some spare speednuts from Audi where those T25s go, they're 60p a piece and it will help things fit well and tight with no creaks afterwards (many screws will not tighten because of busted speednuts from previous repairs), part number N90356203. I have had the heater matrix done at a shop, now I would definitely do it myself good and proper. Thanks for the video!
Dude, this video has been a godsend. Thank you! My sisters TT had a damaged dash and I got one for £40 from a breakers and managed to change it thanks to you. One question though, the car is. 2005 3.2 VR6 coupe and it doesn’t have the steering angle sensor like yours. Is that normal?!
Did you ever get around to making a video to remove the heater matrix? I've dismantled the entire front but struggling now to access the matrix inside the black ducting - cant find how to dismantle. If anyone can give any advice as im sure there are some hidden fixings I cant see.
So I have what seems like a bad/ leaky heater core/matrix but when I did trans swap I dropped the motor out of the last remaining motor mount not to big of deal only dropped few inches (strap to hold motor up wasn’t tight) anyways it broke the coolant line fittings running into the dash and I have to replace them they broke in the engine bay before the dash but after everytbing is complete I get foggy windows and it smells like coolant in the car! My question is could the smell be from when it cracked and shot a bunch of fluid up towards the dash maybe it dripped down in there and that’s what I’m smelling it’s pretty strong or is it for sure a leaky or bad heater matrix? Is there an easier way to tell if it’s leaking before having to rip apart the dash maybe I just have coolant spilled all over the inside of the dash and I can just dry it out.?!?!?
If you haven’t done it yet, for door ding protection, get a tube of the foam water pipe insulation and cut a length to slide on those wise swinging Tt door edges.
I think the only difference from LHD and RHD is that in RHD you can remove the heater matrix without degassing the ac. Looking forward to the heater matrix video!
I've read online that there's a small fuse panel hidden away deep behind the climate control unit. Do you think you could show how to access this fuse box?

I also have to do me heater core any tips??
@@nunosousa8916 I haven't done mine yet. Been too cold here. Will need the video on pulling the heater matrix box, it necessary.
Bryn thanks for taking efforts to make this vid
Thanks for this video, mate! Saved me mucho time pulling my heater matrix to fix blend doors. Doing heater core and evaporator while I'm in there.
Nice to see the how to vids make a comeback they’ve been missed

Wicked! Just think, a garage would have charged you a fortune- it’s so much more satisfying doing it yourself isn’t it!

A very interesting video Bryn. If you are going to work on the heating box please make a video of it.
Yes I need to know too cause mine is leaking
Lord knows how much you've helped. Bless you
Wow, love the video. I have to do the blend doors and replace the heater core. So I assume I will need it shortly.
This is a great video.
Really well filmed with heaps of information well delivered.
You make it look easy😂😂😂
🇦🇺🤜🏼🤛🏼🍀😎☮️
this helped me since i never removed an audi TT dash, cause it needed changing a small radiator
Bryn, I think this video needs a “don’t try this at home warning” great video as always 👍🏼
Great video! In the summer i Will start to do the same job, please follow up with a video how to also replace the heater core and evaporator. Thanks! Good luck!
Coming soon
Also I have left hand drive how much diffrent is this can you please help lol
Is that tweeter present on all of them I thought it was part of the bose setup?
Did you ever record a replacement of a heater core? thanks
Have greatly missed these videos. Thanks…
Great video mate any plans for a video on heater matrix removal and refit?

Did this last winter, night mare but got thru it.
Nice and toasty heat now😎
Thats fantastic my heater not working cool only atm. So i think at some stage might need to do this. Wiked video as always 👍
Instead of removing the steering wheel you can drop the column down with 4 alen bolts which will give lots of room especially with seats out
This is true!

Now you’ve just gotta rebuild it all ..
only take ya 2 mins 😬
Thank you for taking the time to show us how its done! I have only cold air blowing out if my 2000 TT, would this be the heater matrix?
Could be the internal doors, they have foam on them that breaks down
If you haven’t done it yet, for door ding protection, get a tube of the foam water pipe insulation and cut a length to slide on those wise swinging Tt door edges.
Was going to attempt but now…maybe not 😢. Going without heat this winter 🥶
I think the only difference from LHD and RHD is that in RHD you can remove the heater matrix without degassing the ac. Looking forward to the heater matrix video!
Doing this job Today to sort my blend doors not looking forward to it 😂
Enjoy!
Haha like the sneaky MCU style post credit scene.
What's the front bumper on the yellow tt
Abt widebody
Liking the abt in the background
I had a 3.2 V6 black convertible mk 1 stolen from me and never returned. Is that car a 3.2 and can I have the vin number if it isn’t? Thanks Gary
Sorry to hear that! The vehicle is no longer here, sorry
Thanks Bryn
I've read online that there's a small fuse panel hidden away deep behind the climate control unit. Do you think you could show how to access this fuse box?
There isnt one
@@BWSTT yeaahhh, I didn't realize the forum I was reading was for an A4. My mistake. Thank you.
Thanks for this vid😊
nice one. i hope to god i never have to tackle it :)
Very interesting, but I hope I never need to do this.
I will just glue the broken defroster grill on top of the dash. Not worth dismantling the whole thing to fit a new one. I can live with that
Speak up bro
