Thinking of buying a TT 3.2
Discussion
Its an old shape 3.2, 05/55 plate.
A friend of mine had an A4 with the DSG box and he hasn't got a bad word to say out it. Whats the beef?
Silver with red leather might suggest why the price is lower but I think it looks quite nice. Each to their own! It looks a bit 70s pimp but I quite enjoy it, it does lift the silver exterior somewhat

DSG (S-Tronic) was fitted to B7 (old shape) A4s too.
What he is trying to say is that some DSG boxes have needed very expensive repairs, and they weren't always considerate enough to let go whilst still in warranty.
NO IT WASNT.What he is trying to say is that some DSG boxes have needed very expensive repairs, and they weren't always considerate enough to let go whilst still in warranty.
The DSG common fault on TT A3 golf etc, is the mechatronics module failing.

No it WASN'T... DSG was only released for longitudinal layouts in the B8 models (A5 and latest shape A4) and then only in the past few months. Argue all you want.The only automatics in the B7 A4 were Multichronic
and Tiptronic, neither were DSG.

Re. colour also I think you'll get away with it on a MK1 - it's still such a distinctive looking little car that you can get away with a more flamboyant colour combo.
It certainly works better on this than the fat, bland MK2.
Is that just based on your opinion?It certainly works better on this than the fat, bland MK2.
The mk2 may not be quite the design classic as a mk1 but it certainly drives better which is wooden in comparison.
Drove a mk1 a few times in 2001 but ultimately plumped for an Elise. Fast forward to 2007 and was in a similar situation, drove the mk2 TT and it's such an improvement over a mk1 TT I had no hesitation buying one.
Well personally I think that the 3.2 DSG TT's are a positive second hand bargin, my work partner used to have a 3.2 non DSG A3 and it was a horrible car to drive at anything apart from flat out, the DSG one I drove though was lovely, all second hand cars come with risks if you like it and it's a good price get it.
Definitely worth a punt...
I have had a 3.2DSG (Silver / charcoal grey int) for nearly a year now and i still really enjoy driving it. Having previously had an A3/ S3 Quattro with the 1.8T engine in it, there really isnt any comparison. IMO having a powerful, turboless, engine is more "fun".
DSG gearboxes have had their issues (look on the TT forum) but I haven't experienced any problems.
