Hood lock with integrated catch hook
A new hood release mechanism is being introduced with on
the 2016 TT. This design will be used on other vehicles of
the Modular Transverse Platform in the future. The advan-
tage of this system is its improved ease of use for the
customer. As in the predecessor model, the two hood locks are
released by pulling the lever at the left side lower ‘A’ pillar.
Next, the two catch hooks at the sides of the hood are
released via an additional Bowden cable that is actuated by
a release lever on the lock mount.
Filler flap module
The new TT is the first Audi model to eliminate the fuel
filler cap. The fuel filling nozzle slots directly into the filler
neck. Two flaps are pushed to the side when the nozzle
enters the filler neck and seal the neck after refueling has
been completed.
The fuel filler flap is opened by lightly tapping on the
embossed TT logo. The flap is locked and unlocked auto-
matically when the central locking system is actuated.
