This data is from the NHTSA — the US gov't agency tasked with vehicle safety. Complaints are spread across multiple & redundant categories, & are not organized by problem.

I no longer own this car. Audi has repurchased it. I am not submitting this so much as for myself, but for owners of front wheel drive Audi Tts and vws which use this transmission. I have approx. 70 cases of mostly identical failures from Audi Tt owners on an internet owners' forum(Audi-Tt.org).

The vws in question use the same front wheel drive tranny that is used in the Audi Tt. Specifically, the problem is a periodic grinding of the 2nd gear synchronizers. If this inquiry should be directed to another Agency rather than NHTSA, please forward it along. Here is a partial list of Tt owners with this problem:
