Audi TT Problems

Audi TTs are all built in the Audi Hungaria Motor Kft plant in Gyor, Hungary.

Turbocharged Audi TTs can be taken to specialist workshops and have the boost pressure in their engines increased, which increases horsepower.

Additionally there are a lot of tuning companies selling upgrades for the intake, intercooler, exhaust and fuel systems on these cars. There are also many upgrades for suspension, wheels, tyres, body styling, and more as the Audi TT uses many parts found on other Volkswagen and Audi cars. Always consult an engineering signatory in your home state before modifying your car to avoid making illegal modifications.

Made with high-quality components, and based on sturdy, reliable Volkswagen platforms the Audi TT has been a stylish, chic two-door coupe and roadster for two decades.

Sitting in a premium market position above entry level offerings like Mazda's MX-5, they're a quality drive - so long as they're driven sympathetically and serviced on the dot; then they should be perfectly reliable.

Go for the latest one you can afford; that will get you the best performance with the best reliability. Taking on an old model that’s done a lot of kays is risky.

When deciding which Audi TT is the best consider buying the highest-spec model you can get in your budget. The high-performance TT RS is a genuinely fast car capable of giving Porsches and more muscly performance cars a fright, but the little Audi coupe is a beaut machine no matter what spec you buy.

For Mk2 models use the long Torx-bit and screwdrivers found in the toolkit supplied with the car.

The main globes are H7 items and to change them start by opening the bonnet, then pop out the plastic trim that sits between the headlight and the grille by gently pulling it forward. Remove the Torx-headed bolt on the radiator support panel, then remove the two Torx-headed bolts fastening the headlight to the car, hidden at each end of the headlight.

The headlight unit slides forward and the globes can be changed from underneath the headlight unit.

You would expect the belt to wear to some extent, but not to fray. A frayed belt could be dangerous if it were to fail. Based on what you say it would seem there’s a problem with the belt or the installation. Take it to your dealer and show them what it is you’re concerned about.

Remove the speaker grille to access the first screw holding the door panel onto your Mk3 Audi TT. The second fastener is located under the arm rest above the storage pocket. Use a trim removal tool to pop the door card off the studs holding it to the door frame, then slide upwards to remove it from the window channel. Unclip the wiring on the back and you're done.
