Ahh man I just had my PCV valve replaced on the Giulietta and it was a horrible job and didn't even fix the problem...I cry. Glad to see your Audi getting there, looking forward to the modifications

Watched your TT journey over the last couple of days. Enjoyed it. I drive an S3 8P 2012, had it about 3.5 years. Bought with 47k on the clock, now 106,000!! Bit gutting, lots of motorway driving - I’ve enjoyed it though. Have been pretty good at preventative maintenance and better than good on engine servicing, Haldex twice, DSG once. Was in the garage today for a wheel hub and bearing, sorting out of rear brakes after recently poorly fitted elsewhere, couple of brake hoses and an anti roll bar link. The joy of driving it and it feeling better is huge, it’s not felt right for some time to be honest. Think I was using the wrong garage perhaps. Have had the timing belt done recently, but am advised there is also a chain, so want to get that done. Also on the radar are perhaps a flywheel and clutch, a carbon clean, cam follower, maybe a new cat (there’s a rattling sound that bounces back of the central reservation when in the fast lane with the window down), some rust treatment and protection, couple of little bits of bodywork, a door seal, and an injector service. The list is endless, I don’t know how many of those things are important right now, or just advisories. Maybe a good idea to do the things that could otherwise cause big problems, like the cam follower. I think the TTS and the S3 are similar, right? Same engine and gearbox? Long spiel, but thought I’d put it out there as I realise the costs of getting these sorts of cars to the mileages that yours has achieved. Nice one.

thanks for sharing. I plan to buy one in the near future, so interested in your journey. Regards from Cape Town, South Africa

Looking forward to the Brake Servo change video 😎🔧

U seem to have bought a great value TTS, so the £800 doesnt hurt. Labour on the booster should b interesting I test drove a 3.2 Mk2 with 90k mls recently - My first Mk2 drive. Loved it. V comfortable ride, quicker than expected in 2nd, slows down a tad from 3rd It looked standard and yet the drama from the VR6 was very surprising and pleasing :) - Excessive throttle opening during down blips was genuinely surprising - addictive induction gargle :) Then I discovered that the Gov have got in on yet more parasitic taxing and steal over £700 / yr on a £4k car......That, added to sub 28mpg with heavy right foot, makes it rather expensive to run...without your type of maintenance bills May save up more and try a TTS or settle mid way for a 2.0tfsi and map it to around same power as TTS Also tried an hdi RCZ which I loved for its styling inside and out. Not willing to risk a Price petrol variant. - Again map it - to 330 lb ft torque - Ride on this is very hard on rear torsion beam set up My goal, when funds allow, subject to test drive is a Mk3 TTS...possibly again mapped :)

Happy New Year :)

I'm instantly repelled by the auto gearbox 😂

That car is a beast. Getting one as soon as possible

What’s the colour name of the car mate?

One thing that's easy to watch out for, if you notice the car getting extra damp inside this winter. Water likes to pool around the battery in the boot, keep it dry back there and most of the moisture will be gone (water likes to seep in through spoiler), I also got some humidity bags off amazon to keep the moisture down in the cabin. Works a charm.

I bought a 100K (The same TTS) for twice as much as you paid. So far I had to get a new spring at the front, and a new fuel injector. Luckily I have a decent specialist near me who also carbon cleaned the intakes and replaced the cam follower, as they were exposed when replacing the injector. All in all I've spent about £1600 in servicing and repairs since buying the car. But its worth it... The car is so fun to drive, they just don't make them like this anymore... (literally). It could be worse mate! you got a good deal on the car, left you some room for repairs and service jobs. Have fun

I just paid 3k for brake line and rear suspension repairs on a mk3 so thats cheapo lol

Loving the videos . I picked a tts up 3 months ago 09 going through some of the same thing as you ?

beautiful color wow. congratz. i have a 2008 at 74k miles but not a TT s just a TT

I have a non-resonated catback on mine (put on before i got it) and honestly it isnt worth it and it drones like f*ck. If you remap it you will get some pops and gurgles out of it and it's way cheaper than spunking silly money on a largely pointless exhuast and the car will absolutely fly. A remap can be as little as £250 vs. A grand for a cat-back. You will probably need to pocket some money for a new clutch though as having owned two of these now, if the clutch is old it wont like the torque increase. Get a sachs organic if you can. Pricey and the pedal will be super heavy but they are bullet proof and you'll never need to change it again. On the subject of what the car is worth, it's basically worth nothing so if you wanna mod it, mod it. You'll never get your money back but given that you're at the bottom end of the market anyway, who cares? 😅

if it wasnt for naively optimistic people like you, no old cars would ever get sold. You have to be realistic and remember that 160,000 miles equates to 10 years on the road. thats 10 winters. there are plenty of components that are right at the end of their life now, and you can expect the most problems from any old audi between 160,000--180,000 miles. sensors and electrics particularly, will fail. those springs also will be at the end of their life.

have you figured out your brake booster, vacuum leak issue?

Both my mk1 and mk2 have 170k on its an Audi so not surprising

Perhaps try a scotch brite pad as they aren't as abrasive as steel wool. Good video, much more fun watching someone else getting dirty hands 😎

I agree the standard sound isn’t too bad, there can be a bit of a burble on the overrun but for pops and bangs you’d have to remap. A cat back system wouldn’t do much for power either. I’ve had two of these and the first one had a thirst for Mobil 1 and constantly sooted exhausts, other one is much better, so be prepared for all of your hard work to be undone, also because of the valve system one side is always much worse than the other

600 from Audi for the brake booster given all the work involved actually doesnt sound too bad. Bet you could knock 150 off that from a non-dealer audi specialist

I also bought a cheap 8j tts... Work done in the first two months: Cleaned intake manifold Cleaned valves Replaced head gasket (obvs) Injectors cleaned *Mine was 73k miles at 15 years old so i felt like it needed it New thermostat New PCV New cam follower New cam belt and water pump Plugs Coils Oil Brake fluid Cost me as much so far to fix/bullet-proof it as it did paying for it 😅 Can't wait for the mag ride to go! 😅

Love the vids, im a mark 2 owner too. Just want to check that you are running it on shell vpower or tesco momentum fuel as i couldnt tell from the vid...!! Dont put the cheaper stuff in!!

At 3:29 the car seems to be running cold at just below 70°C. You'll need a new thermostat. Unless it's recorded just after driving off.

nose heavy feeeling while cornering in these cars is true nightmare, do whatever you want swaybars haldex controller anything..

Can’t disagree with anything you said but try and get to mid/north wales sometime, TTS was made for those roads, just heaven. Two recommendations, never, ever stop for the horses on Dartmoor, they are viscous and very unfriendly. Secondly try running in super unleaded, better mpg and crisper response

Love the colour, will look great when it’s cleaned and protected. Flick the wiper stalk down after removing the key and the wipers will go to the service position so they can be lifted off the windscreen without fowling the bonnet. Nice hoovering! Interior quality is superb, carpets especially are much better than other cars.

Hi, ideal test for MPG average?

thanks for the mention re underfloor rust :) - Would however like to see a video underneath when next up on the ramps :) - I am very interested in getting a TTS => Stage 1 @330bhp - should be a great daily driving car....just dont need to worry about rust... Sure with 1/2 hrs thought, they could have used a remote booster and have the Master cylinder accessible thru footwell by removing a pedal box assembly / similar - 10 hrs is stupid!

Hey jakub , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail and also help you with the overall youtube strategy and growth ! Pls let me know what you think ?

Looks great Jakub! Hope you manage to get that break booster repaired for a good price

Nice 😎 Can't beat a road trip. Good to hear you're enjoying the TT and it's running well. Looking forward to seeing the oil change/service video 🔧

Just stumbled upon your first video and I’ve had that hissing sound for my break booster for over a year now, I don’t have any fluid in my boot at the break pedal so assume for me its just a disintegrated gasket or o-ring, but either way for the price you paid even if you had to pay the top price you’d still be looking at a great purchase!

Looks nice. Have a 2010 TTS manual and love it. Need detailing, new haldex pump and remap stage 1….all exciting. Good luck with your build.

Really good on camera, well done mate

Subscribed!😃

Looking brand new, very satisfying watch 🔥

Could have been worse mate, fingers crossed you can get a cheaper part 🤞

He’s back with another video, happy days

Great first vid, will watch with interest 👍

whats the corrosion like underneath, eg rear subframe, suspension and floor?

157.000miles and still counting. As long you keep your maintenance on time and don’t abuse this engines last for ever.

Very detailed, nice job!

Love it, keep up the videos 🔥

Keep it up as this is your first yt video. I hope to see more vids with this sporty Audi 🙌

I didn’t know that you can get such amazing cars at auctions. Very nice 👍🏻

Very nice looking car with an amazing price !😮

Looking forward to the journey 🛠️

Looks great 👍🏻
