mk2 TT advice

[Trustmeimadoctor]

so after a disappointing trip to see a bmw e82 and finding that you need to be a contortionist to put the seatbelt on

we are now looking at mk2 tt's
trying to find as new as possible with 2.0 in coupe form

ive been reading a bit about the ea888 and timing chain guides is there any real way to tell if they have been done or will be an issue as far as im aware the issue was better in the tt than in the golf and by 2012 they had got it mostly sorted

any other issues to look out for i know about the glovebox damper and both front and rear brakes sticking on and handbrake sticking off

is there any other common things to look out for?

and generally any thing we should be aware of

cheers

Hi, Best bet is to have a browse through the TT Forum on the web where you can find all of your ans. "J Section" Discussion forum.

Window regulators used to fail and the door handles would stick in cold weather. Mine had a new air con compressor under warranty and the Bose hifi had no bass.
