2016 Audi TTS Quattro

Factory specifications, fluid capacities, torque values, EPA fuel economy and the federal safety record for the 2016 TTS Quattro.

The 2016 Audi TTS Quattro represents a high-water mark for the model’s dependability, registering only two total owner complaints alongside two manufacturer recalls. With reported issues isolated specifically to the air bags and seats categories, this model year demonstrates a concentrated rather than scattered failure pattern. For researchers tracking longitudinal reliability, the minimal complaint volume positions the 2016 variant among the most statistically trouble-free iterations in the TTS Quattro lineage.

Factory maintenance schedule OEM · verified

Normal service, condensed from the factory interval matrix.

Under the factory schedule, replace the engine oil and filter at 5,000 mi; spark plugs at 35,000 mi; coolant at 15,000 mi. The big-interval services (at 15,000 mi for coolant, and the transmission fluid) are the ones owners most often skip — on a lower-mileage example, assume the original fluids are still in it and check them first.

Reliability & federal safety record

Owner-reported issues, recalls, investigations and service bulletins on record with NHTSA — an unfiltered look at what owners actually experience.

Owner complaints about the 2016 Audi TTS Quattro dominate in one area — the air bags,seats, 2 of 2 reports (100%), well ahead of the next concern. That matters, because the air bags,seats are also the target of recall 22V-543 on this vehicle — so the single most useful check before buying or servicing one is confirming it was actually performed. 0 of the reports describe a crash and 0 a fire — a small share of the total, but worth weighing against the air bags,seats pattern above. These are tallies of what owners actually reported to the federal government, not an editorial score — and higher-selling models naturally rack up more reports.
