Q1

What is the diameter of the exhaust pipes on a 2006-2014 Audi TT?

The exhaust pipes on the 2006-2014 Audi TT have an outer diameter of 60mm for the 2.0T FSI engine and 65mm for the 3.2L V6 engine. The inner diameter varies slightly depending on the specific trim and model year.

Q2

What type of catalytic converter is used in the 2006-2014 Audi TT?

The 2006-2014 Audi TT is equipped with a three-way catalytic converter with an integrated oxygen sensor. The converter is designed to reduce emissions of CO, NOx, and hydrocarbons, meeting Euro 4 and Euro 5 emission standards depending on the model year.

Q3

Can I install an aftermarket exhaust system on my Audi TT without voiding the warranty?

Installing an aftermarket exhaust system may void your warranty if it is not approved by Audi or if it causes damage to other components. Always consult your dealership or warranty documentation before making modifications. Genuine Audi parts are recommended to maintain warranty coverage.

Q4

What is the recommended service interval for the exhaust system on a 2006-2014 Audi TT?

Audi recommends inspecting the exhaust system every 15,000 miles or 12 months, whichever comes first. This includes checking for leaks, corrosion, and damage to the catalytic converter, muffler, and exhaust pipes.

Q5

How do I identify a failing oxygen sensor in my Audi TT?

A failing oxygen sensor may trigger the Check Engine Light (CEL) and cause symptoms such as poor fuel economy, rough idling, or increased emissions. Diagnostic trouble codes (DTCs) such as P0130 or P0150 can indicate sensor issues. Replacement sensors should meet OEM specifications.
