| I just received an email back from Audi and they said that the 2006 TT will be available in late Summer or early Fall 2005, not in 2006. Can someone also confirm this. | |
| I saw pics of a TT quattro sport in the Geneva Auto Show and was wondering if the car is going to be made available for sale. The roof of the car is in all-black (similar to the original NSX). The car looks hot! | |

I just purchased an 01 225 HP Roadster and would like to make some mods to it. Not sure what the best thing to do it, or even where to get it. I talked to a salesperson once about a chip that reads as factory eventhough it's not. Any info on this would be awesome and helpful to me. Thanks.

Replying to: leoniv (Dec 28, 2004 7:31 am) From what I've been told (from Audi service manager), oil-burning seems to be a common problem with the TT's. My 02 225 TT (40k mi.)burns about 2 qts. about every 7-8k miles. I can see the soot collecting on my tailpipes (starts collecting after only one day). The manual says to change oil every 10k miles but I don't trust it. The dealership handles my TT service and they do oil changes every 10k with regular oil (synthetic is extra). The dealer uses 0W-30 which seems a little light/thin for such a hot running engine. Hope this helps. ywilson1 _______________ I have owned a 2002 TT QC 225 since December 2001 (bought new -- now with 37K miles). I use a quart of oil about every 3100 miles. Some may consider that high oil consumption. I don't know. I had a 1963 XK-E that took a quart every thousand miles. Gas station stops were: Fill the crankcase and check the fuel. My experience with the TT appears to about match yours, regarding oil consumption. I get the soot also. I decided to follow the manual, with oil changes at 10K miles. I too am bit skeptical, but so far -- no problems. The Quattro Quarterly, Spring 2005 has an article on engine oil: Slippery Path. According to this article, the "change your oil every 3000 miles" mantra is a combination of marketing and the word not getting out to service folks on the changes in engine oil technology. The European manufacturers are going with lighter/thinner oils to promote fuel economy. And, they are specifying oils with higher standards. From my reading it appears ten thousand mile intervals are Ok. Admittedly, I got lost in the first paragraph of the article. I'm not a petrochemical engineer or an expert in consumer affairs or legislation -- or alphabet soup (SAE, API, ILSAC, ACEA, MRV, or CCS). But I got enough out of the article to spur me to start doing some research. |

| hi everyone. I am a new tt owner, so far I haven't noticed anything wrong except the drivers side window is lower in the back portion of the door (found out this was a problem at the auto car wash...) any ideas on how to fix this? can the door panel be taken off to check it? if so how?? | |

I'm thinking of buying a used TT. I just want to know what the lifespan of that car is, in miles based on your experience, and what you know about this car. I'm really clueless and would appreciate some help. Thanks!
