My TT came with the Audi roof racks. They were hard to get even back then in 2007. I didn’t need them so I was able to sell them within a day for $450.
Hi mate I recently upgraded my discs and pads on my S4 B8 Avant. Discs are VBT and pads EBC yellow stuff. Kept the S4 stock caliper. But after watching this want the calipers. If I buy the Porsche ones you when can I use my EBC pads I just bought or do I have to change them? They are 2 weeks old. I wanted the calipers red but seems the ones you have are black? The discs are 345mm I believe so was hoping to kee the pads as they weren’t cheap?
Unfortunately pads are completely different shape im afraid, if your happy with how your brakes are i wouldn't bother changing or wait until you've got your money's worth out of them
That’s entirely a personal choice. I prefer the coupe as for me the roadster is ok but if left outside in the winter can get damp inside, in rain it’s not nice, wind noise is greater with roof up, if it’s too hot you burn your arms neck and shoulders when driving haha Just my opinion though
i got my 2000 tt for a $1000 put maybe $400 into it and some new rims and tires, got some clear coat issues upgraded the coolant system parts to aluminum parts got some other thing done but I got to say I love my little car lol the thing makes like 23-24 psi of boost reliably got 190,000 its been pushing 23-24 psi for over 60,000... one clutch too I'll admit it thought it would be cool to do a mean burn out lol went great till I grabbed 2nd lol it was the factory clutch though from what the ordinal owner told me, couple hundred buck for that other than that and wheel studs car has been awesome
Hi dom, got a question, I’m trying too remove my head on my bam engine tt to replace head gasket, 2 problems so far, 2 bolts on turbo manifold have shredded so can’t get a grip on them with the e14 torx, not a problem I thought I’ll leave it attached too the manifold and pull the whole lot with the head, got down pipe bolts off, but heater when trying to remove turbo support bracket, the bolt started Coming out nice then locked up, basically the head has snapped, so now thinking pray bar to try and rip it off the turbo, what are your thoughts on getting it off so I can finally pull the head, proper headache this car. Cheers
Hello, good morning, you know a lot, thank you for helping, I have the 225 too, the other day I went to the circuit I did a couple of laps at full speed and it got a little hot, when I went to enter the pits it stopped, the warning light came out. the battery and it didn't start until it cooled down, it's like it went into safety mode and then when it cools down you can start normally. It did that to me twice on the circuit, and yesterday doing a normal route with some accelerations but the perfect temperature it stopped but this time with the red oil and battery light too, I waited 10 minutes and it started again perfectly. What could it be? ?
Hmm thats interesting, usually the red oil light is a sign of low oil pressure, which usually is followed by a horrible engine noise. If you will getting the car really hot it could well be something with the power cables, often they get Poor resistance and can get very hot, it could be a sensor like a Crangle camshaft sensor the winner gets very hot fails which will kill your engine also, I would certainly look at getting your oil drained taking the samples and checking your strainer is not blocked before you swap with oil pressure sensor
Thanks, I have had also the same issue with wheels when they have been refurbished or left on the car for many years, that's why I have a large rubber mallet for just a job
@@TheParrottBros wont happen with rubber. I tried everything. what worked? Put a torch on it for 5 min. let rest for 2 min. One hammer hit on the back and shabam. Done. Glad I can help you after all the help you gave me:)
True what you have said,i have had the same TT 180 Quattro twice,I sold it then a year later the wife bought it back from a dealer for my birthday as a surprise after I saw it parked up again all the best 👍
great video. Question: when putting in the the pads do you put them in the cylinder bracket and than push onto disc or into the other bracket first and than push the cylinder bracket over the pads? Not clear to me. thanks! Roy
I was extremely shocked when I heard they were no longer making the TT that being said I think we will lose quite a few small roadsters and coupes when everything goes electric
•• Cracking & Leaking fuel and this part fuel line was longer 8L9133986C / fuel rail supply /return line for Our 225 BAM •••lastly there is no other option than Purchasing fuel hose 8mm (3 inches diameter) 14mm outer /6 inches than now I’m boiling hot water to bend the hose as close as the OE 😂 I know it will not happen but at least close to the design for assembly)* The most expensive little hose set if there is left somewhere still however (£150 + ) Cheers
This video was the selling point for me to get one 😂 mines genuinely pretty much identical. Stage 1 90k miles on the clock Few points from my 3 month ownership so far…. Quick as fuck Handles a bit shit Nice on a long drive Expensive on fuel (low 20s) Keep on-top of upkeep Will beat most cars of the line Overall - expensive upkeep but very much worth it. Thank you!
exhausts for newer cars are far more expensive is quite a few of them are valved, have 2 pairs of cats etc, you will probably find it cheaper to go to an exhaust shop and get them to make you a custom one
at least there is some 300 videos for you to sift through and hopefully everything you need is there, good luck with TT owner ship it is a great thing 😎
Use some strong cord to tie off on the end inside the car and use it as a pull through, make it long enough to go right from the inside to the rear calliper and it'll be much easier having a pull through.
Are these any good for my TT MK1 Store 3.7 3.7 out of 5 stars 582 QasimLed 2-Pack 45cm Flexible Car DRL LED Strip Daytime Running Lights with Sequential Guide Turning Signal Light for Headlight Waterproof White&Yellow
I’ve had my mk1 225 for 9 years now. You helped get me in touch with Adam to get it back together… still working on that. I understand you I’m ready for a different platform. Wish you luck on you journey. My tt has been broken 3-4 years out of ownership just due to being young and broke I cant always afford it.
They are a great car, specially the v6t S5, But ive already had the b8 s4 which was awesome during the 3 years of ownership but fancy something different 🙂
I feared the worst when you started on the kit car and it's come true! Real shame we're not going to see as much TT enthusiam from you but I totally get the reasons. Both yourself and BWS have kept me on point with my TT for the last few years and I now feel I may have to change too. However, Ifear that all I'll want is my TT back (I've had it 22 years) if I change it. I wish you all the best in your new adventures...but I am sad. Last point...your steering looks lot lighter than mine which is very heavy. Have you renewed the pump or anything? There's no way my mk1 could be steered with a finger, it needs 2 hands. What did you do??
I think you should keep it peter, your 22 years into ownership there is no going back, both my self and bryn will likely be creating tt content for many years to come on and off as it is and always will be a passion of mine, Steering wise your pump could be on its way out, tt steering is always a little heavy but should not be that bad. do you know anyone else with a tt that you could try theirs?
Hello from Norway, just bought my first TT project. Just wanna say , i like your way of explaining/sharing your knowledge and your researching on the TT. This helps me MAX. Thx mate. Ps keep up the good work, im far from done whit my project 😅
As previously said, Thanks for your time, and the Effort you’ve put in over the years! Hard decision, there always comes a point when you lose that hunger/ passion and the body gives you signals that it’s time to move in a different direction! Lol! You know better than most that you’ll be back with a Flappy Paddle model in the near future! 😉 Other Marques/ Models should also be ealso be explored during this journey in life, and not limited to one brand or model! I think you’ve reached that Crossroad now and thanks for your honesty and being genuine! I’ll watch your channel for new content and all the best in your future endeavours! 😎👍🏻🫵🏻
Thank you for the comment mate, means a lot and your bang on the money. Deffo gotta try different cars, fast and slow, Audi and other Brands. Appreciate the ongoing support 🫶🏻
