2004 Audi TT Quattro, Papaya Orange, Coupe, 1.8, 6 speed Manual 

225 HP, Twin Intercoolers, All Wheel Drive
( 1 of 39 Papaya Orange TT's delivered to North America)*** [See below in "Overall" section]

Back Story: I purchased this TT in April of 2009 on Auto trader.com.  I drive my TT to work  4 miles each way or 8 miles round trip daily. I keep it in the Garage, and take care of the car.  I use premium gas, and have the oil changed regularly. I would consider myself to be "obsessive" on keeping my car maintained, clean and "happy".   I saw my first TT in Berlin of 1999 and fell in love with the car...and said...one day! 10 years later...I got the Car and the COLOR I wanted!  

Obvious Question:  "Why, would you sell your TT if you LOVE it so much"? 

Answer:   I had several financial hits in a row... personal, medical, and on the TT.  


REPAIRS:  The timing belt broke at a stop light back in April (60 days ago). $5300.00 in parts and labor later I have a repaired engine, with several new components under warranty*. (The Parts have a one year/ 12,000 mile warranty, through Gunther VW, in Buford, Georgia.  I confirmed with service department, as long as the car is taken to a VW dealership with a certified Service Center the parts and labor are covered).  While the engine was out the technician showed me where a coolant hose to the Turbo was leaking, so it was replaced.  I have all the receipts from the repairs.  which of course you will get.    A week after I picked up the TT, the shifting was odd...and as bad luck would have it... 2 shifting forks broke (after the entire drive train was removed and inspected) so those were replaced with new parts. While the Drivetrain was removed, the entire clutch assembly was worn beyond limits, so that too was replaced with new parts.  The next thing to "fail" was the drivers window switch...and that too was replaced with a new switch.   So for ease of seeing what is new on the TT, I will list them here from the most recent to first items replaced. The CV Boots were also worn beyond limits and were replaced.

Overall:
***This TT is a very Rare Color. I called Audi customer service, I was told that "indeed it was rare, and is 1 of 39  in all of North America (Canada, USA, Mexico).  ***

The TT has 141K miles, however with the new parts and components mentioned above I truly and sincerely feel the car is in really good shape. 
It has a PPI Rear Bumper Section.  (I have had a difficult time finding another in the US). 
Original Alloy wheels. 

The TT drives extremely well!    What does that mean?
 It  handles well, even on wet surfaces. > New Tires, New Shocks and Quattro (AWD) system.

Now that the Engine has new Valves, the Head Milled, new gaskets, new seals etc, it performs and responds extremely well! 
Moving up through the gears feels strong and responsive. >New Clutch and Shifting forks.
The turbo kicks in as it should, and feels stronger since the coolant hose was replaced.
It stops well and has a good feel: not too loose, not too stiff.

The A/C is ICE COLD (my wife says I freeze her out) :) 
The Heat is great (too well for me).  
The Heated Seats work fine.

The Head lights are good, as are the tail lights, and side marker lights.

The Audio System is great and the Bose speakers are great too.  Good clean sound, deep bass. 

The headliner, seats, and carpets are in great shape. (The drivers side mat has a place where the Heel has worn it a bit)

I purchased for the Car:
  •  Owners Manual off EBAY a few years back (did not come with one), which is included.
  • Service Manual last year, Hard Cover, which is included.
  • Radio Removal Tools, which is included.

Comes with 2 Keys (Key Fob Device). 




History of the TT:

I am the 3rd owner of the TT. (based on the Car Report)
Made in Hungary, Shipped to Utah where I presume the TT lived. 
It was sold and "moved" to Vermont, and "lived" there for a time.
I purchased it from a Ford Dealership in Vermont and had it shipped to me here in Georgia.  
It has been Garaged every night since April 2009. 

Concerns
  • The front chin spoiler has a crack, which is how I got it back in 2009.  (I have been looking for a new chin spoiler to replace it, but was at the bottom of my list).
There are chips in the paint:  
  • above the windshield where it meets the roof
  • Drivers Door where the latch is.
  • on the front bumper & hood(I suppose it had been down several gravel roads before I owned it)

The PPI rear bumper 
  • has a lot of little paint (surface) cracks in the nooks and crannies ( was this way when purchased, no idea why they occurred)
  • The PPI rear bumper is missing the two pocket "fin" inserts based on the photos I have seen of them on line. 
  • In place of these inserts are mesh screen with a black plastic backing, now painted black. It was this way when I purchased it.
The Instrument Cluster:
  • Many online forums have mentioned a huge concern with TT's  having  instrument cluster problems/ failures, this one has a few things/ quirks with it.  I am not replacing it, as everything "works".  
  • Fuel Gauge:  It works, as does the yellow warning icon on the Multifunction display, and audible "beep" when you get low on gas, however the Analog Dial only "travels" from past full to 1/2 a tank. 
  • (I asked if I could replace just this gauge, but you have to change the entire panel). As I said it works just a bit quirky.
Med Kit Compartment
  • The Med-Kit compartment door latch broke off when my 6 year old son (then 4) found it.  I have not been worried about it so I left it. 
  • The Med-Kit is there and complete.
Rear Luggage Compartment
  • As I mentioned above I had to purchase a Cargo Cover Lid, as it was not with the car when I bought it.
  • I just bought a TT Jack
  • I cannot find a  Used JACK COVER.  It was not on the car when I got it.
  • I am not sure if the foam tray around the spare tire is complete... not sure.
  • Rear Lid Light Assembly Housing cracked but functional. I have not ordered the part.
Drivers Side Mirror
  • it  has a small vibration, and I am not sure why, as it "slews" in all directions with the electronic control in the drivers door. The passenger mirror is fine.
Six CD Changer
  • For reasons unknown to me some of my CD's can't load/ cue up from the six magazine cd holder at certain times. I have loaded up 6 CD's and had no problems, but others don't feed. ( no idea)?!!!
Drivers Side Floor Mat
  • Small worn spot where the heel would rest on the ma
End of Concerns

Shipping:
Buyer is responsible for Shipping.  
I will email with the buyer on specifics.


Final Remarks:
The TT is a good car, safe, performs and handles well.  
I have cared for the car as best as I could and put a substantial amount of new parts into the car in the 3 years I have owned it.  
It has been maintained well: washed, waxed, garaged kept, new tires, etc. and regular oil changes. 
I will miss the "Orange Jet".

2015 Audi S3 configurator goes live with all the black and silver paint you've hoped for

Tue, 12 Aug 2014

It has already been nearly a year since we completed our First Drive of the premium pocket rocket Audi S3, with official pricing for the car detailed earlier this summer. Those are facts, but facts won't help you while away your lunchtime in blissful, car-dreaming reverie, will they?
No, for help with imagining just exactly the kind of Audi S3 that you'd like to put in your garage, the freshly launched configurator is just the thing.
Every 2015 Audi S3 will come with 2.0T power under the hood - to the tune of 292 horsepower and 280 pound-feet of torque. The most basic Premium Plus trim (an interesting renaming of "entry level" we'll grant you) starts at $41,100 before destination, while the higher-content Prestige asks $47,000. The extra six grand buys you full LED lighting, tri-zone climate control, S model appearance upgrades like quad exhaust tips and a more advanced infotainment suite with Bang & Olufsen sound.

Audi moves to patent electric Quattro and active-shutter wheels

Thu, 13 Feb 2014

Audi might have a few tricks up its sleeve for the coming years, with the Brits at Autocar uncovering a pair of patent filings made by the German luxury brand. The first is something we've seen before - wheel flaps - while the second is an evolution of one of Audi's trademark technologies.
We last saw wheel flaps on the Ford Atlas Concept in 2013, but the futuristic fuel-saving tech has so far failed to arrive on a production car. Audi may be seeking to change that, patenting the flaps that open and close automagically based on airflow. They can also open if the brakes get too hot.
The second patent is an evolution of Audi's Quattro all-wheel drive. The new AWD system uses an electrically driven rear axle and wheel sensors to figure out when and at which corner the car might lose traction, and is targeted largely at hybrid offerings, which is a field Audi has only recently dipped its toe into.

Highlights from the Goodwood Festival of Speed, including the McLaren P1 and a Ford Transit running the hill

Mon, 15 Jul 2013

The sole purpose of this post is as a time-waster, and since you shouldn't have to work to waste time, we've done it for you. In the numerous videos below you'll find cars that have lately been in the news tramping all over the grounds of Lord March's estate in Goodwood, England.
There's the McLaren P1 heading up the hill, the Jaguar Project 7, then a casually-driven Porsche 917 followed by an even-more-casually-driven Porsche 956, topped off by a Porsche 936 that is anything but casually driven. The next round is the flame-spitting Peugeot 405 T16 Pikes Peak from Climb Dance, a camera mounted on the Peugeot RCZ R after it showing you what the whole, uninterrupted run up the hill looks like. For a real head-turner, we couldn't embed it but there's Andy Reid blasting up the hill in a Ford Transit Supervan with a Cosworth 3000 V6 engine.
The modern racing contingent has Allan McNish doing the hill in the Audi R18 e-tron quattro he used to win Le Mans and Lewis Hamilton making lots of tire smoke in the Mercedes-AMG Petronas MGP-W02. For comparison, that's followed by Nick Heidfeld's record-setting run up the hill in 1999 in the McLaren MP4/14 . The classic racing contingent is headlined by 71-year-old Giacomo Agostini on an MV Agusta.
