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".

Honda, Audi sweep European tin-top championships

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

Despite his win at the Japanese Grand Prix this weekend, Sebastian Vettel still has another race or two to go before he can claim his fourth consecutive World Championship in Formula 1. Back in Europe, however, this weekend saw several championship titles decided in a variety of tin-top racing series.
In the British Touring Car Championship, Gordon Shedden won the final round at Brands Hatch this weekend, but that wasn't enough to defend his title. Instead, the ultimate glory went to Andrew Jordan, also driving a Honda Civic, coming in ninth place to take a seven-point victory over Shedden in the final standings. Little wonder then that Honda took the constructors' championship and the Honda Yuasa Racing team took the teams' title. Four-time BTCC champion and Fifth Gear co-host Jason Plato, now driving for MG, landed third in the standings.
While Honda dominated the British championship, it was Audi that reigned supreme in mainland Europe. In the Superstars International Series - Italy's touring-car championship - Gianni Morbidelli drove the Audi RS5 to his fifth title, finishing the season's final race in a calculated third place behind the BMW racecars of Giovanni Berton and Max Mugelli. It's the second consecutive win for the RS5 in the Superstars series (Johan Kristoffersson won the title last year), and the second this year following Mike Rockenfeller's title in the RS5 DTM.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.

Audi already teasing, testing next R18 e-tron quattro

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

You can't debate Audi's record in endurance racing. With 12 victories at the 24 Hours of Le Mans, it comes second only to Porsche in the history books of the famous endurance race - only in Audi's case, all of those victories have come in the last 14 years, losing only twice: once to its partner team Bentley in 2003 and once to rival Peugeot in 2009. It's won the FIA World Endurance Championship in both of the seasons it's run so far, and has won championships in the European and American Le Mans Series, too.
That's quite a record to defend, and defend it Audi will with an evolved LMP1 racer next year. Only a week after tying up its second consecutive world championship, the German outfit is already back at Sebring this weekend testing the successor to the all-conquering R18 e-tron Quattro. Unfortunately as the new United SportsCar Championship doesn't include LMP1s, the only chance we may have to see it competing here in the United States will be at the 6 Hours of the Circuit of the Americas in September.
Audi is keeping mum on the details for the time being, releasing only this one photo and promising to reveal further details before the end of the month, but we can already discern a more streamlined shape, revised aero and reprofiled headlamps among the changes from the outgoing R18. One way or another, with Toyota upping its game and Porsche returning to top-level competition next season, Audi may be in for its toughest challenge yet - but you can bet it won't take it lying down. Scope out the press release below and watch this space for more.
