Having work over the past 12 months on various Y2K projects, i find that statement by Audi about the TT, totally inadequate. Simply stating that it has a 4 digit year display and implying that thet there is no problem show me that the person who wrote that statement has no idea of what the Y2K problem is to start with.<br>The Y2K problem is not wether 2 or 4 digits are used in the Year, but problems originate when clock/year counters count over certain dates.<br>It is proved that systems with 4 digit year codes fail in Y2K testing. The First impact datye of Y2K is Sept 9 1999, and then ther is the Leap year in Feb going over to march.<br>Audi's new VAG tool runs on a PC, the PC and its OS will have Y2K problems. So how can a High level vendor certify a product that is dependant on a low level non Y2K compliant product?<br>Any way as far as our cars are concerned, i do nopt believe we have a problem, how ever there is a build of a series 5 BMW that does have a Y2K issue!<br>But at least Audi has stated no problems, so if we find one later, we can take on Audi legally now to cover costs.<br>
