Up for auction is my 2003 Audi TT convertible. I have owned this vehicle for the better part of five years and have loved it since day one. I still have people pull up next to me at a stop light and compliment on how nice it looks. The reason I have decided to sell is that I have moved out of state and I am in the process of selling some major items that I have not decided to transport, the Audi being one of them. It has only seen limited, around town driving in the last several months.

This car is truly a car for all seasons. In the summer with the top down it really is a head turner with the roll bars and glass wind deflector. In the winter, it is perfectly at home on snowy or icy roads thanks to it's Quattro all-wheel drive, all-season tires (which are all less than two years old), and electronic slip protection. This car does better in the snow than full-size trucks I have owned. And let's not forget the heated seats that I'm pretty sure could double as a stove top if you turn them up all the way. The car has only seen very limited winter driving over the last three winters and spent most of it's time in the garage, only being driven once every month or so just so it didn't sit for long periods of time without running or moving.

Equipped with a 1.8L 5V turbocharged, twin-intercooled four cylinder motor producing 225 hp, I have never had a personal complaint about not having enough power or response. It really is a blast to drive this car and I still get a kick out of the sound of the turbo spooling up when I hit the gas. All the while currently maintaining 29.2 average miles to the gallon. I have gone for well over 400 miles on a single fill-up.

The soft top was replaced two years ago.

Several major wear items were replaced around the 65,000 mile mark. These include the timing belt, clutch, and flywheel as well as the water pump (water pump wasn't bad, but the Audi dealer that did the service told me that it is in a very difficult position on the engine to access and since that spot on the engine was already exposed due to the replacement of the timing belt, they highly recommended I go ahead and have it replaced to save on a substantial labor bill to replace a $100 part). The lcd screen in the gauge cluster (a common problem among TTs) was also replaced a few months back. The battery and front brakes (rotors and pads) have been replaced in the last two months.

 

Other options on the vehicle include:

  • Six-disc CD changer
  • Bose Concert stereo (sounds amazing!)
  • Security system
  • Integrated garage door opener

Overall, the vehicle is in good condition. It does have a few nicks and dings inside and out that it has collected over the years. Only two notable issues exist. First, the check engine light is on. The trouble code comes back as a faulty O2 sensor. I have not bothered to have it replaced since it does not effect drivability in any way and the nearest Audi dealer is over an hour away. Next is part of the factory gasket that seals between the driver side window and the top is missing. A new piece of gasket is in place and I haven't noticed any leakage, but it does not sit flush with the factory pieces (see picture).

 

If you have any questions or would like additional pictures of something not shown in those already posted, send me message and I will get back to you as soon as I can.

 

THANKS FOR LOOKING AND HAPPY BIDDING!!!

 

VEHICLE IS FOR SALE LOCALLY IN ADDITION TO THIS EBAY LISTING AND I RESERVE THE RIGHT TO END THE AUCTION EARLY IN THE EVENT OF LOCAL SALE.

Production 4.0: Audi plans for the smart factory

Tue, Jul 21 2015

Automotive production is becoming more integrated and at the same time has to be more intelligent and more efficient. Flexible production of customized vehicles is one of the big challenges for the future, especially for a premium carmaker like Audi. How will the "Vorsprung durch Technik" brand meet its aim of offering premium quality with added custom flexibility? The company sees the "smart factory" as the key. Whether it's body-color moldings or light-alloy wheels in a special size, almost every car is ordered with some kind of customization, and the demands are increasing. This requires of course already a lot of flexibility. While the variety of models and quality demands are increasing, automotive manufacturers such as Audi are eager to make production sustainable. In an Audi interview, innovation management members Alois Brandt and Henning Loser talk about "production 4.0" and the upcoming "smart factory." How will Audi manage the production site with its very high standards of quality, efficiency, and environmental acceptability? Will the so-called "smart factory," which should be the intelligent factory of the future, only employ robots? Alois Brandt: "With a deep look into the production, I am convinced that our employees and not machines are the relevant working forces behind the Audi brand. Machines can be bought anywhere." Increasing digitalization is paving the way for the smart factory – the intelligent, digitally connected production facility. New high-tech solutions in manufacturing should further increase the high level of quality, while at the same time the assembly work should be easier and result in better ergonomics. Can you give us a clearer imagination of the "smart factory"? Alois Brandt: "There are a lot of ideas. But the big question at the moment is: Which one is really needed and leads into the right direction?" Can you tell us a little bit more about "production 4.0"? Alois Brandt: "The assembly line as we know it in the present will no longer play the same role. If it makes sense, it will be terminated and replaced by – let's call it – a virtual assembly line. The production will be more modular than before and the car will be directed to a production point – a so-called 'island of competence' – where it is needed." Henning Loser: "If the vehicle is to be assembled to the customer's wishes, it is obvious that efficient programming of robots and coordinating with the human workers is needed.

Audi's Project Artemis woes could delay range of VW Group EVs

Tue, Jul 19 2022

Two years ago, Audi's then new CEO Markus Duesmann announced his first big initiative called Project Artemis. The plan's marquee component is "to implement a new lighthouse project for Audi in record time," being "a highly efficient electric car scheduled to be on the road as early as 2024" on a brand new platform that would be shared with Porsche and Bentley. An ex-VW and -Porsche man named Alex Hitzinger, who'd also spent time at Apple working on the tech company's electric car, was brought on board to lead Project Artemis and come up with new ideas. Parent Volkswagen Group said it wanted to become "as agile as in a racing team," removing the bureaucratic molasses and bottlenecks interfering with getting the best product on the road in the best time. However, in any grand venture, failure comes before success. Automobilwoche reports that Artemis is struggling through issues large enough to push the product plans back by years. The issue, as it was with the ID.3 lineup on the eve of that car's launch, is software. Well, that's the latest, largest problem; Artemis has already been through copious struggles before getting to the software bit. Two months after Hitzinger came on, in December 2020, VW raised its EV volume target from 50% to 70% by 2030. That necessitated a rethink of the VW Group's entire platform strategy considering the far greater production scale. Hitzinger only lasted six months in the job, ousted in May 2021, supposedly because Audi believed his ideas were "not suitable for profitable series production" among other reasons. By that time, the pace of software development was already said to be six months behind schedule, with the Car.Software division working on VW.OS 2.0 "not yet running at the speed hoped for." Internal frictions were noteworthy and costly as well. VW's commercial division plant in Hanover was meant to build Artemis vehicles for Audi, Porsche and Bentley, but Automobilwoche reported in January of this year that Porsche paid a ""small three-digit million amount" — like $100 million or so — to get out of the deal mandating its vehicles come from the Hanover facility.    So Audi effectively brought Artemis in-house to lead vehicle development, and Car.Software turned into Cariad to get VW.OS and VW.AC, which stands for Automotive Cloud, to market.  The first Audi vehicle under Project Artemis was planned to arrive by the end of 2024, a production version of the Grandsphere concept.

Audi pits S3 against Ur-Quattro on gravel

Wed, 13 Nov 2013

If you had to pick a winner between the latest Audi S3 and the original Audi Sport Quattro, which would it be? Both hot hatches pack around 300 horsepower and all-wheel drive, but they're separated by a good thirty years of development.
To find out, Audi took both to the old rally circuit in San Remo. Behind the wheel of the Ur-Quattro they put none other than The Stig himself - no, not the Top Gear test bot, but Stig Blomqvist, the Swedish former rally driver who drove the Quattro to the World Rally Championship in the mid-80s. In the S3 they put someone named Hermann Müller, who as best we can tell was one of Auto Union's original Silver Arrow drivers - but he died in 1975, so it's probably the guy who writes for the Audi magazine. Regardless, the contest was pretty close, so it's worth checking out in the 2:26 video clip below.
