The boot of the MK1 with quattro it's shallower than the ones without quattro. I think in MK3 there is no difference. MK1 always will be a very special car with timeless design. I find MK3 design also great, it's very aggressive. So sad that they discontinued the model.

I have a MK1 225 in light silver, I love it but I'm starting to miss some edges n such... I used to be a big fan of the 80s wedge design. Soo, yeah I like the new MK3 look, its futuristic, clean mix of rounds and edges. I would get it in white or again silver. :)

Sure it's assembled in Hungary...however Audi is a German brand and under the Volkwagen Group umbrella. On top of that... all the design work for the original TT was done by a mixture of German and American designers, led by J Mays and Freeman Thomas, both worked for Volkwagen at the time. So it's safe to say its german engineered but assembled in Hungary.

Enjoy the car. Some little upgrades I did with mine inc getting the callipers painted (I went red) and the hubs painted silver (they all go rusty). It’s worth getting a resonator delete done to give it a bit more of a sportier tone and making sure u update the virtual cockpit so u can get the sport dial view, update the maps, add apple carplay etc. Depending on your audio tastes and the cars setup you might want to add a sub in the back to give it some decent bass. I also upgraded my front speakers to audison. Well chuffed with the sound now.

Just had it serviced too and they mentioned the car is in good shape 👌 hope you get the car! 👊 There’s always some minor common problems with every car and the TT is no different but it shouldn’t break down as long as it’s been looked after well and you treat it well too.

I am the original owner of a 2016 TT with 96,000 miles. Car has been Stage 1+ ECU/TCU by Unitronic since 5,000 mi. Other than routine oil every 5,000 mi, I've done three DSG/Haldex oil changes, one transmission mount, two cam shaft actuators, one water pump, one battery, coil packs and one complete change of brakes and one valve carbon cleaning at the same time the water pump was done. I software upgraded the car myself to CarPlay and TTS centre display.

@@davidstuart4915 I can get 31-33 mpg US on a long highway drive, in UK that would be 37-40 mpg. The tune did not affect fuel economy, in fact, it might have made it a bit better. I don't launch the car a lot but it low 4's sound about right with a tune. It's noticeable. The car had a stage 2 tune and unitronic downpipe for a while but I didn't like the drone. The launches were definitely improved and more brutal. Stage 1 enchances the car, Stage 2 changes the car substantially. And louder since you may give up a resonator to install a downpipe. A camshaft actuator is about 90 GBP, the engine will misfire, through a code and be generally miserable especially at high rpm. The part installs in 10 min with three bolt on the left hand side of the engine. There are two of them for intake and exhaust. Water pumps can be costly. The water pump on mine died at 123,000 km just under the class action lawsuit claim limit in Canada. When the water pump dies, it can be good to get a valve carbon cleanup because everything is apart anyways. Budget 500-600 GBP considering amount of labour involved. The timing chain still has lots of life in it. You can put CarPlay on it easily if it doesn't have it already. You can add the sport display too easily. The car is now at 99,000 miles. It has had the same set of brakes for nearly 60,000 mi. Four corners of brakes is cheap for a TT because parts are easily found. I change oil every 5,000 mi. I change DSG fluid every 35-40,000 mi. These cars thrive on regular maintenance. If you're interesting in modding and performance, it is worth considering a TTS. In Canada, the TT generally shipped fully loaded with S-line bits, it may be different in the UK.

Honestly, I'm not sure on how it would affect the MOT. Depends on how loud it makes your car I suppose. Deleting the muffler would defo make a noticeable difference, if your car is older then it might be best not to remap, or at least check with your garage if it's worth the risk. Getting more airflow into the engine bay will always help improve performance and help keep engine temps down.

I’ve had my 66 plate TTS since February 22 & have covered nearly 12k miles.( I’m retired ) current mileage now 42k I’ve been insured with Adrian Flux up until now, as the renewal for 2024 was nearly £650 which is double to what it has been, Managed to get it down to £450 for exactly the same cover as AF, with a different insurance company. I kept away from a newer model because of the high road tax so only paying £215 same as my previous Mercedes. I have it serviced at my local Quattro Tec & for piece of mind had them do a Haldex & oil filter & oil change & plugs,all brake pads had been replaced by the previous owner, even though the mileage was just under 30k when I bought it. I run it mainly on Shell V power & in comfort mode on long runs easily get 40.9 mpg using cruise control. Obviously a lot less when I drive it like I stole it !! 😂 Other than the issues surrounding the water dripping into the boot when opening after heavy rain..& drivers door glass squealing after the hot weather we had,( I’ve squirted silicone down the runners a few times ) but still squeals now & again 🙄 the only other problem I’ve encountered is the crappy Audi sound system as mine wasn’t fitted with the B&O & the cost of having the upgrade is ridiculous.. I also had front parking sensors fitted, as for some reason Audi didn’t fit them as standard cost around £800 at a VAG Retrofit, so I get Audible & visual both ends.. I absolutely love the car & what it gives & would recommend buying one ..
