2001 Audi Tt Convertible on 2040-cars
Tampa, Florida, United States
I'm second owner, has 73850 miles, manual transmission, it’s been great – especially with the top down. The improvement in gas mileage over my previous vehicle, a Chevy Tahoe, is incredible – 19/27 mpg! However, it’s just too sporty for me.
Plus the suspension is low and stiff – great for handling but not as comfortable/soft as I would like.
All regular maintenance has been performed (brake fluid every two years, coolant flushed, synthetic oil, etc.).
The timing belt and water pump have been replaced as preventive maintenance.
The wheels/tires, suspension, and brakes/rotors were upgraded less than a year ago.
In addition to the coil-over suspension, the rubber bushings were replaced with hard polyutherane bushings which, while improving handling, have stiffened the feel of the steering. When the steering wheel is turned at a stop or at low speeds like in a parking lot it makes a creaking sound. The result at high speeds however is a vast improvement in handling.
The instrument cluster is fading and hard to read in daylight and the fuel gage works but shows full as full and ½ as empty – the needle does drop gradually from full to ½ as fuel is used. Plus, there is a low fuel indicator light and tone.
There are also general signs of wear as would be expected with a used car.
The a/c, electric convertible top, windows, locks, and radio/cd changer all work perfectly.
The top, which looks great and does not leak at all, has had the stitching reinforced around the rear window to prevent further weakening of the rubber seal from the heat.
The engine idles perfectly and the clutch shifts smoothly. The coil packs and spark plugs were also replaced less than a year ago.
Clear Florida title in hand. Two keys, the original books, and service records are also included.

11M VW diesels affected, Porsche and Audi under investigation
Tue, Sep 22 2015Volkswagen's diesel scandal is growing exponentially larger. In a new statement, the company admits that 11 million vehicles worldwide might be equipped with software capable of evading emissions testing. In addition, the Environmental Protection Agency is beginning an investigation into the 3.0-liter V6 in Audi models and the Porsche Cayenne in the US, according to The Detroit News. The automaker claims that from its investigation so far, the "relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines." However, the company finds that the "noticeable deviation" in test results and real-world numbers only relates to the Type EA 189 powerplant. That still leaves 11 million vehicles potentially skirting emissions rules, though. Governments around the world have started taking a closer look into the company, too. In the US, the EPA has begun testing VW's V6 diesel because "they were certified well before we knew what we know now," Christopher Grundler, director of the EPA's Office of Transportation and Air Quality, said to The Detroit News. The agency has started checking diesels from other automakers to make sure they're meeting the rules, as well. Germany, the European Union, and South Korea have instituted similar investigations. In response, VW is setting aside 6.5 billion euros ($7.25 billion at current rates) to cover servicing all of these diesels. The company admits that the figure might have to be adjusted depending on what happens next. The money is being deducted from its third-quarter earnings. Related Video: VOLKSWAGEN AG HAS ISSUED THE FOLLOWING STATEMENT: Sep 22, 2015 Volkswagen is working at full speed to clarify irregularities concerning a particular software used in diesel engines. New vehicles from the Volkswagen Group with EU 6 diesel engines currently available in the European Union comply with legal requirements and environmental standards. The software in question does not affect handling, consumption or emissions. This gives clarity to customers and dealers. Further internal investigations conducted to date have established that the relevant engine management software is also installed in other Volkswagen Group vehicles with diesel engines. For the majority of these engines the software does not have any effect. Discrepancies relate to vehicles with Type EA 189 engines, involving some eleven million vehicles worldwide.
Audi sees room for TT family, including possible crossover and superlight models
Wed, 12 Feb 2014With the third-generation Audi TT slated for a debut at the 2014 Geneva Motor Show in just a few weeks time, we've received some interesting news out of the United Kingdom. Speaking to the crew at Top Gear, Chief Engineer Ulrich Hackenberg made some interesting statements about the next TT, noting that he likes the idea of a production Allroad Shooting Brake.
"I can imagine the TT has much more potential than we have used up to now. That's why we did this Allroad [Shooting Brake] Concept. The trend is to smaller crossovers. So for example you do a crossover TT. It would have a big group of fans," Hackenberg told TG.
That makes it almost sound like Audi is trying to expand one popular, fashion-forward model into a wildly different niche, like Mini did moving from Hardtop to Countryman (or perhaps more appropriately, the Paceman). We'll reserve judgement, if only because the Allroad Shooting Brake was one of the more popular concepts at the Detroit Auto Show, making our Editors' Choice list.
