Audi TT mk1 BAM 225 Part 1

Audi TT Mk1 BAM 225.
I finally bought a little 225 TT, after owning a few Mk1 180's, Mk2's and a rather stunning Mk3 TTS i decided to see what all the fuss was about with a 225 quattro.
The car needs a fair bit done to it, there's an oil leak coming from the engine somewhere, sills and wings have the usual rust starting and i also bought a silicone hose upgrade for the engine bay due to alot of the rubber pipes having perished and cracked.

I love the MK1 TT more than the MK2...These cars WILL become collectors soon I have a MK1 Black 2LITRE TT with only 61K on mileage I'm the 2nd owner..

[@RavenRestoProjects]

Sounds awesome 👍🏻 ironically I used to hate the mk1's but now I have fell in love with them 🤣! I didn't realise there was a 2 litre , thought it was 1.8 and 3.2

[@Leehuss5582]

@@RavenRestoProjects I love the MK1 TT..The design is iconic in that it gives you a look of a 911 but at a affordable price, the 2litre is still very quick and powerful with the right modifications..beauty car prices for them are going up if you can get one now.. 👋🤜🏾

[@SandysAutoDetailing]

MK1 TT came in 1.8 or 3.2 are you getting confused with it being a 20v ? Mk1 1998 car registered in 2000 Audi TT Quattro 20v K04 6spd APX Owner here 😃👍🇬🇧

[@RavenRestoProjects]

@@roddyrobertson7589 I genuinely used to dislike the mk1's until I drove one , totally changed my opinion afterwards , proper smiles for miles and handle so well, got alot planned for it 👍🏻

[@roddyrobertson7589]

⁠​⁠@@RavenRestoProjectsI was the same as you, but my partner always loved the mk1 in red and got one in 2015 just by chance after our neighbour turned up with it and within a week she had charmed him and he sold it to her, and she totally adores it to this day. I fitted the rear bumper honeycomb grille but apart from that it’s been kept standard. We stay at the top of a hill so we have a winter set of wheels / tyres and they are amazing in the snow. Looking forward to your futures vids on it.

[@bobjarvis1787]

I found that using jubilee clips with silicone hoses can crush the old plastic water fittings at the RHS of the engine. So I am in the process of changing them to pressure die case alloy ones. Wish I had tried the spring clamps on the silicon hoses to see if they would work / seal. Looking forward to the 3D printing. 😊

[@RavenRestoProjects]

Ahhh noted appreciate that , we've done a fair bit of the hoses ( next video ) managed to use the ones that came off , the spring band clamps instead of jubilee clips though where they were originally used I've used them too. Though I guess we won't know for sure until engines started and running and theres no leaks 🤦🏻🤣

[@bobjarvis1787]

Watch the clearance to the back of the fan blades. Caught me out, as the hoses get hot they expand a bit. The fan shaved the outer corner of one top hose a bit!
