I Bought a Cheap AUDI TT ROADSTER!

[@1nOnlyHafKaf]

A couple years ago, I bought an Audi TT for my partner. Her father took me to pick it up and we loved it immediately. He passed later that day and we were left with this car that he had been the only other person in the passenger seat. The last couple years I've fixed up many of the very tiny issues. I don't have the convertible but the 180 with auto transmission and a bit of work under the hood, new stereo, bunch of modern upgrades. Everything about this car is something I've grown to love and it's created more memories than any car I've owned previously. Absolutely beautiful diamond in the rough I'd say with a little tlc.

[@olivarrr138]

I just got rid of my Mk1 TT to get a Range Rover Sport, and to be honest... I really miss it!!

[@callummccubbing4506]

My dad had the 3.2 V6 with the DSG, oh I miss that car. I remember hearing it starting up every morning, still miss it to this day.

[@GT-pl1wx]

That was a great engine! Miss the old times! I remember a roadtrip with a BMW Z3 2,8i! So much fun!

[@mattsmith6397]

Damn, that’s the second time today, you’ve sent me off to look at Auto Trader! 🤣 Nice vid. Agree totally with old convertibles - it’s about the experience, not the handling or performance.

[@rp6523]

I held my breath during your silence before you mentioned the MX-5 ;o). It's an obvious choice for a cheap convertible. I have an NB Sport at the moment and it's such a laugh to drive. I think the TT would be much quicker though and more comfortable, as well as having a nicer interior. It's so nice that you can be spoilt for choice with a grand in your pocket, haha!

[@Brian-ot7mx]

Love the content, just bought myself one the other day a Japanese import no less. Silver with a black roof. 180 BHP manual cost me 2700euro so in today’s money with inflation not bad nct and taxed, its a bit of cheap summer fun.

Looks like the whole car is in good nick for the mileage , well done . I have the coupe AWD 2002 down in OZ 83000km one owner had it for 4 years no major issues . Yes the dash pod is cactus impossible to repair in OZ , pix a bit , but the temp gauge moves about a bit , but temp is always around 85 to 90 c , fuel gauge is always full , i reset the odometer at each fill and drive to 400km and refill no big deal when you easily get 650km per tank . Good servicing on time helps with these cars for reliability , timing belt every 90,000km , haldex is important too . My other car is a GTI Clubsport , but i still do love to drive the TT especially out on the B roads , its a heavy dog in the city with a stiff shifter , heavy clutch . Enjoy your TT my friend , well presented clip by the way .

[@alanenglish9681]

I managed to pick one of these up for scrap value of a friend as an MOT failure about 150 notes.. Few hours of my time and about a hundred quid in parts, it passed and I love it. Don't even care when my mates call me a hairdresser! People who scoff are just people who haven't driven one!!

Great video. Purchased my TT 225 as my second car on the same date (11.03.2019) as u posting this video! We got the same thinking why not MX5, but in Hong Kong, police hate JDM cars and easily pulled over by them...and TT has more power, quattro and is slightly cheaper than a MX5 which makes me to choose TT at last

[@HighPeakAutos]

Great minds think alike! Haha.. Good choice. Welcome from Hong Kong too - I've never been but I'd like to one day :)

I've been struggling to decide on a newer car, so going to get a cheap one of these for the summer and buy a newish car in the winter and use it for trade in.

[@theboyross]

I bought a silver 225 roadster in February for £1,500 and now drive it more than my 2016 A3. It’s a beautifully retro car that makes a great noise and is great fun to drive, especially down country lanes in the sunshine.

[@PMCKELL761]

Loved my old TT, had the 180 with a nice exhaust and remap. Made it a cracking drive.

[@davebarnett4262]

I've really wanted a mk1 TT for a while now and probably going to get one in the coming months. Great video...

[@bensmithkent22]

Sorry for commenting on everything, however if its something Ive driven the vids always grab my attention. Even if only for a day test drove one of these when my mate wanted to trade in his cooper s in 2008. Was a silver 05 225 bhp version. Remember the huge lag and banging through the 6 speed manual box out of cuiriosity to 70 odd from standstill and how it felt quick but certainly not fast. Totally agree on the wooly handling this was based on a mk4 golf chassis. These tts were stylish though and solid inside. Especially compared to an slk of the time.

[@Alimhabidi]

Here in India you won’t even get a 2002 Type 2 Honda city for this price! This is a steal price for an Audi TT. So interesting to watch these videos Matt

[@readerj01]

I've had a 225 and a 3.2 (both coupes) and both are great cars. Imo the 225 felt faster but the 3.2 with the dsg gearbox was probably the smoothest car I've ever driven once rolling (look out for the delay of death when pulling away). Clutch pedal failure is a common fault in manuals along with dashpods in all of them. Cambelts need to be done every 40k not 80 in the 1.8's and mechatronic failures in dsg boxes are quite common and costly to repair. Haldex history is also a must have with documented proof of regular oil changes. Washer aliens in higher spec TT's (typically 225's and 3.2's) are also common failures along with coilpacks. Interiors usually stand the test of time and there are only a few rust areas (drainage channels). Annoyingly (with the exception of coilpacks) the most common faults were the subject of recalls in most countries around the world but not so in the uk. Great little cars and still very stylish bearing in mind their age. I would buy another in a heartbeat if I had the funds.

I have an Audi TT coupe 2006 1.8 turbo.. which is far sexier than a convertible. Mark 1 is the classic..to be honest I go the shops and come back to the car park and what looks the best car there? Mine, it's a classic. Big thing to watch out for. Timing belt and water pump yes..but engine mounts nuts come loose..then your engine falls out..seriously. The retro styling is superb..mines only just done 40,000 miles from new.

[@fatyowls]

Just bought a mk2 3.2 v6 manual and it's immaculate. 2007 with less than 69000 on the clock in metallic red, it looks fantastic.

[@numberstation]

I owned a 1.8 225 coupe, which was good fun. I’m 6’3” and a bit of a lump but there was plenty of room, the interior was very solid, everything worked as it should (apart from the well known temperature gauge miss-read), the Bose speakers sounded lovely and in a couple of years ownership all that failed was a coil pack, again a fairly common fault. The one thing I would be critical of was RUST, have a damn good look underneath before you buy one! Although the 225 version is quick, with a few quid spent wisely it can be made really quite fast indeed. The BAM engine is a bit of a legend, apparently.

[@HighPeakAutos]

I agree! Thanks for watching :)

[@FrankieM1974]

I have a 2003 coupe 225. 150000 on the clock and still immaculate. Change the oil (quality not rubbish) every 6 months and spark plugs every 12 along with air and cabin filter and you’ll be fine. Don’t bother with a garage for the Haldex. Jack up the rear. Axle stands underneath and DIY. The oil you can get direct from an Audi dealership or eurocarparts using a discount code for around £18 and comes in a tube the same as bath sealant. Drain the old oil and when you’re ready bang in the new oil and quickly refit the drain plug. Done in 5 minutes. Filter every 2 years but you need an L shaped spanner costing around £10-15 on eBay. They can be a bugger to get off and on but quite an easy job.

Everyone bleats on about the head gaskets on the K series engine (MGF etc). We’ve had 3 series 1 Lotus Elise over the years, the first being brand new when they were launched. We never had an issue with any regarding the head gasket. We used them too! The last one we had we took to Spain on the ferry and drove back to the UK through France. Might be luck of the draw or might be some amount of fact enhanced by urban myth.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Pleased to hear it! All used cars will have some issues. It all depends on how they're looked after. I have had lots more K series engines with head gaskets blown than not, but like you say, its not every single one

[@EnglishLaw]

I doubt that they had the same head gasket kits then. I've had 3 MGFs and all had HGF.

I got a 2005 z4 2.5 last summer was some really good fun in the sun but compared to other convertibles the z4 are most likely the best choice. I found that out after months of research.

[@theimp67]

Yeah, I've got a 2005 Z4 2.5 too and have had it for nearly 6 years now and it's been great. No major issues, had to replace two worn rear shock absorbers and - at the last MOT - a rear brake line was corroded. Not bad for a 14 year old car with 105,000 on the clock. Want to replace it but not sure what with. It's such a simple car, not too much to go wrong. Might be a Boxster next time round. Or another Z4.

There is nothing at wrong with a MG TF now. Any s/h TF will have had HGF by now and had an uprated gasket on it. Not only are they nicer to drive, but better value for money, much more of a future classic (they are now holding their value and even starting to increase a little) and actually quite reliable! I have one as a 4th car for those occasional sunny days and I can't fault it.

I've subscribed now. So I expect to see an MGTF vs MX5 vs MR2 vs TT shoot out - all cars have to cost the same though.... :)

I’ve come from a TF to a TT 225 and the TF can’t hold a candle to the TT in terms of performance, the interior is light years better than a TF too. TF’s feels fragile in comparison

How does the TT 1.8 compare against the SLK230 R170 or the 1st gen Z3 1.8 in terms of reliability, build quality, fuel economy and fun factor?

[@smileoftenatsea]

I would take the TT with 1.8T any day. The materials feel better quality and the car better put together. It’s more fun to drive than the slk, and I dare to say even the Z3 since its so much better built. I drove over 200k km with the 1.8T engine with only regular oil changes. That engine was used in a bunch of VW Group cars and was very good. It even sounds good for a 4 cylinder. Lastly, for fuel economy, it’s definitely not worse than the other two. If you really want an SLK, get a Chrysler Crossfire, same car, half price, equally bad. Hope this helps.

I think you are being a tad disingenuous about the Roadster. It’s an absolute icon . I had a new 225 back in 2003 and I wish I had never sold it! It was a superb quick reliable car, built to an amazing standard and if you want a pristine low mileage example you will have to part with 10k or more. The 225 especially is getting difficult to find in great condition these days. I know I have been looking . As with all 20 year old cars the devils in the detail. If you pay a grand for a car you are going to pay and pay and… infinitum! Better to get a really good one if so inclined towards this timeless reference.

Loved my 2001 225 TT Roadster Quattro for its design and baseball glove interior. The suspension - or lack of one - not so much. You felt every pebble and fault in the road. The All-weather low profile tires were not - terrible in snow and you can't use chains on a TT. Besides the pixels going bad ( and I bought one brand new ) the glass windblocker window that rises from behind the seats rattled like crazy. Same platform and engine as the VW Beetle turbo of the era; the VW sat higher with more body roll, but at least you could feel it had shocks.

I've had one since 2016 a 05 red roadster it had 123thou it's a lovely summer car , and it's reliable,am in a classic car club but wouldn't call it a classic yet

[@HighPeakAutos]

Another 5 years and it will for sure

[@stephenvail5375]

Excellent - enjoyed that and a good idea.

[@MitchGrooms]

Again, great vid, editing. What type of Camera Mount are you using that takes the shock?

[@HighPeakAutos]

I'm not really into tech stuff so I don't know what is best to use. I just use a GoPro and a GoPro suction cup mount

[@MitchGrooms]

@@HighPeakAutos But I see it floating around and it stabilizes.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Mitch Grooms Yeah I’ve noticed that in editing but I’ve got no idea why or how 😂

[@williampope3796]

Nice example for only a grand. Always wanted one. Unfortunately you can’t find one in my area of the states, for less than 3 grand USD. Even worse…99% of them are thrashed to the point of being a bag of nails…much like the WRX. Actually you can say that about a lot of potentially nice vehicles. The average U.S. driver just wants to gas em up and zoom. I guess we’ve become a disposable product society. I see some great cars that are now sadly late for the crusher. Enjoyed your video… thanks.

Great cars . I remember seeing my first on on Clapham High St I loved the petrol cap !

[@HighPeakAutos]

I agree! I was going to talk about the over-engineered fuel cap but didn't want to sound like a compete geek! haha

[@BEGGARWOOD1]

High Peak Autos so now I feel like a complete geek ! That maybe true !

[@dannyjohnson5872]

Enjoyed this upload. Keep it up

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

I thought the same in primary school wow are you my English twin lol

[@HighPeakAutos]

uiolkijhgh Haha could be!

[@gopher1471]

I didn't realise that I had company while watching this till I heard my wife say, "I really like that"......oh well......lovely car btw.

[@GT-pl1wx]

My ex-girlfriend was always complaining about me watching car videos. Maybe that's one of many little aspects why I "kicked" her!;-)

[@tendainyambo7623]

Your the truth 😁 I love a TT given the space I'd have to have one in the garage.

[@HighPeakAutos]

They're great cars

[@paullees7111]

MX-5 or TT? I had an MX-5 & really enjoyed it, dead easy to drop & raise the roof. Had the roof down a lot (not just sunny days) but at that age I'd & price I'd go for the Audi

[@HighPeakAutos]

Paul Lees The MX5 is more fun to drive, but the Audi is finished nicer... tough one but probably the Audi

[@dinono10]

If you read the reviews by people who have driven a mr2 roadster. It is by far in their opinion a better and more precise drive than an mx5. More of a purists car I guess. Nice video.

[@paullees7111]

@@dinono10 But is it less practical? Are you talking about Mark 2 MR2?

[@studio-flash]

What u need to know is they need timing belt n water pump done about every 30,000 miles not 80,000 to be on the safe side. Haldex oil change..also very hard to work on ..not easy i think you said...eg..to change a front light bulb..how long???? Well you have to undo very hard to get to ( on a mark 1 2006) screws under wheel arch n take the whole front of car off...2 to 3 hours ...i know..its a joke. Hazard lights go...they feel well made but have losts of problems...the biggest being the engine mount bolts shear...engine falls down!!!!! £600.. TO FIX..IM NOT KIDDING...ON THE PLUS SIDE..LOVELY INTERIOR N EXTERIOR STYLING..LOOKS BETTER THAN MOST CARS IN A CAR PARK. A EX CONDITION COUPE 2006 FULL SERVICE HISTORY FROM DEALER WILL SET YOU BACK 5 TO 6K....THATS NOW IN 2019...VERY LOW ORIGINAL MILEAGE 39 TO 44,000. BUT ITS GOT TO BE SUPERB...HIGH MILEAGE ARE ANTHING FROM 2 TO 4K....I THINK THE CONVERTIBLES ARE A BIT GIRLY..BUT THE COUPES..GOOD FIR ANY MAN...HAA

[@HighPeakAutos]

I prefer the look of the coupes too

[@AndrewKNI]

A brilliant video and purchase. Well done & enjoy :-)

[@kevincroft9848]

Nice little run about for a grand

[@koreyp360]

Bought a 01 roadster few months ago with baseball interior in states for 3k. Glad I went fwd due to not real quatro awd/weight. Big turbo plans later!!

[@HighPeakAutos]

I had one with the baseball interior a few years ago. Its a rare option :)
