I plan on buying a 2013 TT soon and this video came up at the perfect time, thank you!

I've owned my MK2 TT RS for 13 years; Fan heater Motors go, Parcel Shelf Brackets break, Bonnet Pull handles break, Crank walk breaks engine (push to start Bypass recommended). The Direct injection engines suffer from Carbon build up on the valves (walnut blasting gets rid). I've had 2 Hadex pump break over the years. Mag Ride breaks, best to replace with coilovers. You can't code out the mag ride - It needs resistor (mag ride delete units) Bose amps can get water logged if you don't keep the drain holes clear. Fuel caps can stick closed when the cap is dirty

Understated video. I've had a 2008, FWD, manual, Stage 1 with a few mods for 3 years now and I love it!

For the boot opening, if you've ever had the battery die like I have, you can crawl inside the car to the boot and there is an "emergency release" cord on the inside, you should see a small keyhole in the tailgate just below the window line. Pop your key in and remove the felt cover, then pull the little cord and the boot will unlock.

had this car in 2010, remapped to 270ps, really good memories

I love the typical stereotype “ladies” or “hairdressers car” yet so many so called “men” these days drive hybrid or electric embarrassments.

If your masculinity is tethered to what vehicle you drive, you have issues.

Are there kits to get mk 2s raised so more off-road tyres fit ? Kind of going for that Porsche Dakar look ?

I just woundered if you could help. Do you know how i would remove the centre armrest on mk3 tt, I broke the clip and it's locked shut. Reqlly be greatful of you had any advice

Great video. Had 07 MK2 2ltr TFSI still running with 166000 miles and still going strong. Major issue i had was a leak , this was traced to rear spoiler that raises. as commented in video if it has been removed at any time check for leaks. Mine was leaking down the retaining screws. Noticed issue when windows were steaming up for no reason. Found puddle around battery also caused intermittent starting due to water getting into fuel control unit under back seat. Removed complete spoiler unit and resealed all with Tiger sealant no issue since. Window winder also failed due to poor quality cable upgraded and fixed for £40. Rear light earthing can be fixed if you are a confident diyer. drilling through base of rear lights and fitting decent sized cable and attach to frame (you tube videos). Dead right about pressure valve , had coil go week before which i replaced , then similar symptoms felt a bit like a misfire but slightly different . Genuine part upgraded or later version part fitted £25 and 30mins of my labour again easy for confident diy er . hope this helps. Happy driving.

Does TPMS delete work with a scan tool? Instead of replacing those.

Concise and brilliant content, thank you. Horrific musical background though.

Thank you for this, Audi no longer supports the CCM for the 2001 TT Roadster. Are you aware of any workarounds for this module to be able to put the roof up and down? I tried have mine rebuilt but too far gone. Any response is appreciated.

Hi. I have a mk2 8j (2007) with rattle when going over bumpy roads. Someone said this could be steering rack as had a quick check and drop links etc looked ok. This would be a step too far for my trusty car. Any other ideas?

God I feel depressed I own a 58 plate tts (weekend car) just in the process of fitting apex springs... I dunno if he mentioned but I have the cam follower changed at every service too

It would be worth mentioning the oil pump hex drive and balance shaft issue on the TDI engine both engine codes CBBB & CFGB were effected by this. Common rail diesel engines in various models across Audi and VW all the way up to 2015

Absolutely, really common issue with PD170 which either kills the engine or the turbo at least. Quite expensive to fix. Also 2.0tfsi cam follower failure, balance shaft seizure which kills the engine. Audi had a recall on a lot of PD170 injectors and were replacing all faulty ones.

Would love to see a Mk3 version of this!

I got a 09 mk2 3.2 vr6 140,000mi, most of my issues have been electrical, needed to replace my door locking mechanism twice, needed to replace my rear center breaklight, need to replace my daytime running light, my front shocks went out , my left CV axle went out, my radiator cooling manifold had a crack in it, my chain tensioner is going bad, my rear view mirror electrical stopped working. Over all great car tho.

i got a supercharged vr6 mk2 quattro. b e a s t. its pushing 345 WHP it probably could go up to 400s but i still daily it😂 well its my first car and i got a weird exhaust configuration that makes it sound so good… just had problems when fitting the kit myself with few stripped bolts. had local tuner tune it for me to a reliable 345 whp which is enough for quattro. also big upgrade is kw susp that i just recently got. i thought stock was ok but it rlly wasnt😂 worth it, will be selling it soon to get myself a e92m3 because both me and my dad r fans of it. idk for how much i can sell my tt but its got ttrs kit on it lol

I just test drove a 2011 TTRS with 95k on the clock. The thing that I noticed is that when flooring the accelerator at low speed or when stationary, there seemed to be a long lag and a great deal of wheelspin on the rear. Also that the ABS seemed to kick in a little too fast even at low speed braking. Any suggestions as to the cause(s)? It felt to me the 4x4 system wasn't behaving well. Your thoughts are welcome. Best Wishes.

I have a video comparing repairs on the two MK2 TTS vs TTRS. In short get the TT-RS. The thermostat and the water pump is MUCH less labor intensive to get to. TTS requires removal of the alternator, air cleaner box, radiator cowel, 3 coolant hoses and the coolant pipe just to get to where you can remove the thermostat. The water pump is much easier to get to as well on the MK2 TT-RS.

Why downgrade your otherwise informative video by using a common stereotyping intro?

Do yourselves a favor and buy a TTRS. Less labor intensive to work on in terms of water pump and thermostat. TTS requires removal of the alternator, air cleaner box, radiator cowel, 3 coolant hoses and a coolant pipe to get to the thermostat. The water pump requires just as much of an assanine procedure to get to on the TTS. In this regard TTRS MK2 isn't nearly as hard to work on. Save yourselves the hassle and pay a little more for the TTRS.

Mine has a constant misfire 🥲 it's killing me trying to solve it
