Did you mean to add to another thread?

[limited slippp]

possibly, is this the wrong sub forum?

If you just want to make a request for help or discuss your "issue" - maybe general gassing would be better

If you are going to put some pictures up and give a little back history here is fine

[J4CKO]

Depends whether you needed a hobby or transport

I love Mk1 TT's but they can be a bit needy as they get old, I wish you better luck than I had but get on the TT UK Forum, great bunch, get a VCDS/Vag Com lead.

A colleague I hadnt seen for a while had bought one when I bumped into him recently, remarkably similar experience to myself, but get it all sorted or be lucky and get a good one they really are quite nice.

I have a couple of other cars so can hopefully take my time and do some bits over next couple of months. My first Audi and my first turbo petrol car.

Did you find this on Facebook marketplace by any chance? That numberplate is very familiar, think I was arranging to view it (or one with similar digits) and then opted for a blue example!

[limited slippp]

hiya, no it wasn't on there. The plate is a bit different, not sure if its worth anything though.

Looking forward to updates... I'm keeping half an eye open for one at the minute...

im about 130 miles in. I was planning on doing the t/belt and w/pump myself, however having just had our first child, my free time is a lot less so i coughed up and had a garage do it. Im still chasing a few niggles, but as a relatively cheap daily its not a bad thing. Im hoping it odes throw any big bills!

[5harp3y]

cool looking cars, we've had two.

got fed up in the end chasing small electrical problems and sold up

now have a Mini Cooper S instead

[Superchickenn]

Ive currently got 6 1.8t's and broken a few TT's now.

100% would recommend dropping the sump and cleaning the oil pick up pipe. These suffer super bad with it.

Only a 30 mins or so job but will save you an engine
