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".

Ward's Automotive Ten Best Engines of 2014 dominated by diesels, turbos

Thu, 12 Dec 2013

With the Car and Driver Ten Best decided, the North American Car and Truck of the Year finalists announced and Cadillac, Ram and Subaru chalking up wins with Motor Trend, it's fair to say that the automotive awards season is in full swing. The next set of trophies to be handed out will be from Ward's Automotive, which has announced the winners of its 2014 10 Best Engines.
The latest contest was marked by the widespread emergence of diesel power and the continued success of turbocharged engines. There was even an electric motor on this year's list. In fact, only three of the ten winners were naturally aspirated and only two winners returned from last year.
"We weren't looking to throw the bums out, as they might say about an election. We were just really impressed with the flood of new powertrains," said Ward's Automotive Editor-in-Chief Drew Winter. Those new powertrains include the 83-kilowatt electric motor from the Fiat 500e, the 1.0-liter, EcoBoost three-cylinder from the Ford Fiesta and the 2.0-liter turbodiesel from the Chevrolet Cruze.

Audi A0 in development based on VW Up!

Fri, 15 Nov 2013

Bigger, it seems, is no longer better. Volkswagen has made waves with its Up! city car, a plucky three-door that's been a bit of a hit since it burst onto the automotive scene, spawning a number of variants during its short life. And while our European friends have gotten a Cross Up!, a commercial version, an EV model, Seat- and Skoda-badged variants, and a rumored diesel-electric Twin-Up!, the small city car has been lacking in terms of its premium content.
That fact makes this rumor rather tantalizing - Audi might be working on its own version of the front-engined, front-drive city car, to be called the A0. The report comes from AutoExpress, which claims Audi CEO Rupert Stadler wants a premium Up! that features a distinctive interior and exterior treatment.
Changes could include a trapezoidal grille, in addition to premium exterior features like LED lighting and alloy wheels. The cabin would feature leather and likely a version of Audi's MMI infotainment system, while power would come from a 109-horsepower, 1.0-liter engine found in the Up! GT Concept.

Audi details updated 3.0L V6 TDI engine

Fri, 09 May 2014

The brands in the Volkswagen Group have shown that they can develop some of the world's best diesel engines for passenger cars. At the Vienna Motor Symposium taking place May 8 and 9, Audi has an updated one to add to its lineup. It's launching a new version of the 3.0 TDI V6 with better efficiency and more power than the version currently in the US.
The new diesel will be offered in two tunes: 215 horsepower or 268 hp. However, Audi isn't giving away all of the new engine's secrets just yet. It says "depending on model" the mill makes as much as 442.5 pound-feet of torque and gets as much as 13 percent better fuel economy. That likely means the more powerful version gets the twist, and the other one has the better consumption, but we'll have to see.
To compare, the current 3.0 TDI offered in the US produces 240 hp and 428 lb-ft of torque. In the A6, it's rated at 24 miles per gallon city, 38 mpg highway and 29 mpg combined, according to the EPA.
