"Audi Offers Fix for Sway in Coupe
FRANKFURT, Germany -- Audi AG will offer owners of its TT Coupe a stabilization method to counteract a tendency for the back of the car to swing out when the driver applies the brakes in a curve.
The company will introduce a uniform stabilization method in all cars built after December, including the TT Coupe, an Audi spokesman said.
The German magazine Stern reported that the Audi TT Coupe has a technical defect that causes the rear of the car to swing out under braking in curves. That has led to several accidents, it said."
Not a lot more info. Den

Re: So right, heck, I'll let them add on anything they want
Let's hope the Audi engineers carefuly test whatever change they come up with before they install on our cars. I most likely will never push the TTQ to the limits of causing this problem. I will have to wait,see, what tyoe of modification they come up with.

cornering problems?
Surely, if you take any car into a corner quickly and then brake, you are going to unsettle the car and risk losing control. The answer? Take corners at a speed where you can still control the car. If you are watching the road and traffic ahead of you then you can read upcoming situations before they happen. Ah!, I hear you say, what if you are driving around a blind corner and have to brake because of something on the road, for example a slow car or an animal? Ask yourself should be driving that quickly around a blind corner in the first place?
Call me an ultra careful driver if you like, but my TT hasn't stepped out yet at any speed.
BTW I'm taking my TT to the Nürburgring next weekend for a drive on the 'green hell of the Eifel' as Jackie Stewart called it. If I get pics I'll post them.
