Carly is such a scammy company with some really morally questionable policies. Really interesting the choice of only mentioning the annual fee in the fine print and then not specifying how much said annual fee would be, shady in my opinion. Heard a guy who was hit with the Annual fee, he had missed that he had to cancel his “subscription”, that he seemingly didn’t know he had (unlike me he didn’t read the fine print and wasn’t disgusted by it) so was hit with a fee seemingly out of nowhere and Carlys support wasn’t at all helpful and allegedly pretty rude.

That's my car! I own the exact same '02 TT mk1 quattro 225hp, it was the fastest spec before the 3.2 VR6 came out. Love this thing with all my heart. 🤩 The 3rd coil looks like a TT mk2 one, it's a common upgrade many people do because the TT had a recall on the coils early on in its life. The catch can indicates that the engine has had a PCV delete done. A lot of people don't understand what the PCV pipes are for (which is mostly vacuum-controlled valves for emission regulation and stuff) and claim they're redundant. The PCV pipes and hoses are notorious for becoming brittle with age and they're a nightmare to debug since it's such a complicated web. Many people just rip them out and plug the sensors with a dummy to avoid the ECU throwing engine codes. It's definitely causing some issues on yours. The missing air filter will also definitely cause the MAF to throw errors, the wizard is right about that.

[@ecot29]

Being an Industrial Designer myself I couldn't believe the design of the TT Quattro and ordered mine in 1999 before they were in the US. Arrived on my Bday in Jan '00 and after a few choice and tasteful mods to make it what it should have been when it left the factory it's a sweet little sports car. I average less than 2500 miles a year and will keep it forever! Nice to see a real Hoopty on your channel again!

It's weird because it's got all the signs of having more mods that the previous owner removed knowing it was being repo'd, the repo might not have been because of finance on the car, it could have been a no money so we're taking something of equivalent value situation with some other loan they had

[@DaytonCarCare]

Technically it's a diverter valve, but yeah doesn't look good with those mods (or lack of). Didn't bother with at least a cheap cone filter and couldn't fit a proper ignition coil. I hope the timing belt was serviced otherwise look forward to replacing bent valves when it fails. Although not a deal breaker. VW made so many 1.8t and put them into Audi A4s, TTs, VW Jettas, and Passats that engine and or replacement parts are easily found and even performance mods are affordable. 1.8t are pretty reliable and can get 350 HP on stock internals.

[@trevorpicknell6732]

The rear diff may be fine… it’s electronically controlled and the controller goes bad, or the ground strap for it breaks. Definitely check those before you throw a whole diff in it.

[@thatdave86]

Hope the Wizard researches this

[@dmtotman]

Correct. It has a Haldex system which means it's essentially FWD until there is loss of traction, then the Haldex system will redirect power to the rear wheels to compensate for the loss of traction on the front wheels. So it's not permanent Quattro/AWD, it's a FWD with advanced traction control....

[@keijokojootti7790]

I would say that the haldex pump is more often the cause for haldex not to engage. Brushes wear out etc. Although, it's not uncommon to have bad controller but not as likely.

[@FantaMedSocker]

Had a 2000 Audi A3 (same base) and it burned the Haldex pump twice, no issues with controller or the diff

I remember when these first came out, there was a problem with one of the body styles, I can’t remember if it was the hard top or convertible, where there was some weird aero issue that caused the rear to lift. Audi ended up recalling all of them and adding rear spoilers to all of them. It’s kind-of hard to believe that these first came out in 1998. I thought for sure they came out later than that. I really think it’s a shame Audi discontinued these, I always thought they were cool and they really aged well- design-wise.

I never understood why you would want to purchase anything other than a manual. Why would anyone want to drive a sports car with an auto is beyond me. Unless they just can't handle a clutch no matter how hard they try. And no, tiptronic, and or flappy paddle nonsense is not a manual. lol

I always thought these Audis were quite eye catching. Worthy of note… a ‘Coop’ is where chickens live. I believe it is pronounced Coupé… at least in the rest of the world. Thanks for the video.

[@jacobyo99]

Not in America 🦅🦅🦅

[@kasmanien]

This isn't the 'rest of the world' thank God.

[@mannychavez5688]

Give it some “hawk tuhh” got me 💀💀

[@fboomerang]

I was so crazy about this car, found one locally with 75k miles, got inside and saw the failing interior and said "Nope!" I love the design but it just felt fragile. Suspension clunks, falling headliner, lots of scrapes and scratches everywhere. I'd definitely jump at a TT RS as I think they're gonna go up in value over time. Enzo / McLaren fast. Insanely great and available with a 6M too!

[@samoksner]

And the worst to work on surely... why can't they ever make a car that holds up? They clearly know how to make an awesome car when it rolls out of the factory but man they turn to trash so fast.

[@fboomerang]

@@samoksner The one I looked at had the sexy red interior too! I was so stoked to go look at it but unfortunately - or fortunately - too reasonable to buy it. There is a reason they depreciate so fast. I think if it was only a weekend garage queen it would be right for someone. But Yeah, even with the low miles it would have been $2k ro $3k to get it all sorted.

@@samoksner 1.8t is easy to work on. I could swap an engine in and out in a day. I do prefer the FWD TT to the AWD model because the clutch slave cylinder is external so makes it easy to swap out or bleed. The AWD (Quattro) model is internal and you have to remove the transmission to access it.

As a longtime subscriber I was kinda checking out. Glad to see you're back. This is what we wanna see Tyler.

[@mobiusone3923]

The rear diff is probably not bad! It has a Haldex clutch at the input from the driveshaft that engages the rear diff when it's needed! Common for the pump that actuates the clutch to get clogged, or the filter on the unit not being changed!!! Might just need service!

[@TheRealChirpy]

I love the wizard he seems like a normal mechanic and then out of nowhere screams “HAWKTUAH” and drinks random Gatorade

[@tylerbarrett1758]

That is a normal mechanic

[@Afraz_9n3]

​@@tylerbarrett1758exactly 😂my best mate is a mechanic and we often work on our cars together and that's exactly what he does

[@romigithepope]

I love these. This is why I first subscribed years ago. The Hoopties.

[@MrBoosted6000]

The engine bay of the car ain’t bad. The “boost solenoid” @ 17:50 is a deleted n249. You don’t need it. The Pcv has been done and replaced with a catch can as well. The diverter valve has been replaced too. All good things done to fix vacuum leaks. All of the lights that have come on the dash can be removed with cheap resistors or a tune. You just need to fix oil leaks, do the oil pickup tube replacement, add an air filter, and get a new set of coil packs. Maybe a new set of coil overs too! Definitely the oil pan needs to be replaced. This car will be great. It sounds good and healthy. I also have a 2002 Audi tt Quattro 225 in black.

[@Chyrio]

Hooptie is going back to his roots... getting actual hoopties again ha ha

[@EdsStuff76]

I've got an '02 coupe manual in silver over black and I love that thing so damn much I will never sell it. Such a pure design and classic look.

[@NCCoder]

The Quattro system on those uses a Haldex clutch system to "power" the rear wheels. There is no center differential, only a clutch pack between the drive shaft to the back and the pinion for the rear diff. The rear wheels do not come into play until there is slip detected at the front wheels.

[@chrishedlund2688]

The Wizzard is in rare form today!!! hilarious

[@fredflintstone8048]

Nah.. He's always been a troll at heart.

[@gordoeinstein]

I once had this same car in Dolomite Grey, it was fantastic! I bought it new and only put 16,000 miles on it over 4 years and regret selling it.

[@cbotten106]

You got out just in time...still basking in the fond memories is where you want to leave any VAG purchase. Truly automotive nirvana.

[@leerob2403]

Yup, I have a few Audis that I will miss forever. One saved my life in a T-bone accident. 2004 Audi Allroad.

[@awh3399]

Wizard”April has great credit. No rush to pay her bill”

[@CarAudioObsessions]

It's cuz this way she has to come in and wizard gets to see her

[@MrJwc1234]

Awesome!! Hoovie is back. I feel like you can find some of these parts and cheapen the cost. I'd love this project. Totally worth it. I've put money into hoopties but I use them so they are worth it. Excited to see it come back to life.
