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".

Audi Sport Quattro Concept to spawn volume sports car?

Mon, 30 Dec 2013

There have been two modern re-imaginings of the original 1984 Audi Ur-Quattro: the Quattro Concept of 2010 (shown above) and the Sport Quattro Concept revealed at the 2013 Frankfurt Motor Show. In between them, there have been numerous rumors about what, if any, kind of production car Audi might make of them. According to a new report in Auto Motor und Sport, Audi CEO Rupert Stadler has "indicated... that the car will come," and based on the specs presented, what we get might end up being a mix of the two.
Ulrich Hackenberg, Audi's head of R&D, apparently wants a sports car with wider appeal than the 700-horsepower hybrid Sport Quattro Concept. AMS says his vision would be built on a modified A6 platform - the same MLB architecture under the Sport Quattro Concept - with ample use of carbon and aluminum keeping the weight down to around 1,300 kilograms (under 2,900 pounds). Engines could include a 2.5-liter, five-cylinder (like that of the original, smaller Quattro Concept) offering anything from 310 to 360 hp. Those numbers would be at least 48 horsepower shy of the first concept, but a less-powerful entry point to a new model range would provide a lower cost of entry. Besides, a full model range would likely include a significantly healthier powertrain option on the top end.
At the moment, Hackenberg is said to be unsatisfied with the design of the car, which could well mean we'll get another concept car before a production version appears.

New Audi Q5 refines original model's winning formula

Thu, Sep 29 2016

The first Audi Q5 made a name for itself as a baby Q7, hitting a Goldilocks zone in the crossover segment and challenging BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and Lexus for supremacy in what would become one of the luxury market's most important segments. The Q5 is already Audi's best-selling vehicle globally, underscoring its importance to the German brand. Like its predecessor, the second-generation Q5 takes the Q7's looks and tech, then distills it into a smaller package. But unlike the Q7, the Q5 doesn't look quite so dowdy in its redesigned body. We'll attribute that to the smaller front and rear overhangs, which keep the Q5 looking like a crossover instead of a high-riding wagon. The face is mostly a carbon copy of the Q7's, with a prominent grille featuring a silver surround and flanked by a set of clean, stylish headlights. In back, the smaller Audi gets more expressive taillights that harken back to the first-generation model in their lighting signature. We aren't really sure what Audi was going for with its two-tier rear bumper, but it doesn't work and is inarguably the worst piece of an otherwise fashionable design. Aside from restyling the Q5's body, Audi managed to both expand it in every direction and trim nearly 200 pounds of body fat through a mix of "maximum tensile strength" steel and aluminum. Audi is also promising an impressive aerodynamics gain for the new body – the company's engineers slashed the coefficient of drag from 0.33 to 0.30. That should mean a quieter and more efficient drive. Like the Q7, the new Q5 benefits from Audi's push into advanced driver information systems. It gets the 12.3-inch TFT display, also known as Virtual Cockpit, on top of the 8.3-inch MMI display atop the center stack. MMI takes a page from Apple with its Personal Route Assist. Much as CarPlay will automatically display how long it takes you to get home, Audi's new system can study an owner's behavior and suggest the best route to a given spot, even when the navigation isn't active. While we're geeked about the new tech, the powertrain front is less newsy. The European press release lists one gas engine – a 252-horsepower 2.0-liter, turbocharged four-cylinder – and four TDI powertrains. Those latter engines are dead to the US, as Audi faces the backlash from parent company Volkswagen's diesel emissions scandal.
