After a run in with an ex-girlfriend I am in need of a replacement convertible top for my 2001 TT. Anyone have any suggestions?

Replying to: rbd2003 (Jun 10, 2005 6:05 pm) I had to replace my top after I shattered my rear glass due to my own stupidity. I put a small bag in the folding top area while on a road trip and pressed the button to lower the top. A new top through the dealer is 3k with half of that being labor (it's a 1.5 day job). There is an aftermarket top that's cheaper price-wise and the rear window can be replaced separately from the top. I've never seen it so don't know if matches the car or not. I went with the factory top since it's a lease and didn't want any crap from the dealer saying they don't approve of the aftermarket top upon the car's return. The aftermarket top was a few hundred cheaper (I think around 1k vs 1.5k for the factory top), but labor will remain the same. Also, don't think the dealer will install an aftermarket top. Hope that helps. |

Replying to: illiterate101 (May 04, 2005 8:11 am) and Revo http://www.revotechnik.com/ Both will require soldering of your chip (I had a 2001 and just got a 2005) APR lets you control the ECU program by the cruise buttons Each one will tell you the other will blow up your engine. They will both get you to 260-265 HP from waht they claim. I am stll trying to figure out which one to go with myself...This is what I understand so for. What state are you in? Tj

Replying to: mindseye (Nov 14, 2004 4:00 pm) As far as the 3.2, I have been asking around. (Mostly because I am still partially stuck on the 'there is no replacement for displacement' syndrome") If you are not going to do any modification, than go with whichever one you like most and enjoy it. If you have any intention of mods, than get a 225. End of discussion. I just got an email back from APR (Audi Performance Racing) and they have nothing and are planning NOTHING for the 3.2. So far, I have heard that no one is sure what kind of punishment the DSG tranny can take yet, and they don't have much room to do anything with a V6 crammed in under the hood. I have heard rumors of a blower for the 3.2 which could have potential, but time will tell.... (and PS - I am very new to this so I am just putting out there what I have 'learned' so far. If I am way off, I would certainly appreciate an opposing viewpoint) Tj |

| I have heard that the 2006 TT will not be sold in Massachusetts due to emissions regulations -- has anyone heard the same. Also, I am trying to find a 2005 TT Coupe Manual for sale and salespeople seem unresponsive!!! I thought the idea was to sell cars! Anyone have any ideas? | |

I am considering a 2000 TT 1.8 Quattro, 53,000mi., looks very good, runs great, but has two electrical repair notes in the carfax report. Does anybody know of particular electrical snafu's with this year, make, model, etc.? Any other insights would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I have had my 2003 TT, 180 for only 4 weeks, and have had to have all tyres replaced!!! I really cant understand why if one tyre is damaged, you have to have the other one replaced also. Could someone kindly explain this to me? It is costing me a fortune. I have now switched from the orginal tyres (pirelle, to mitchellin). Thanks |

Well just thought I would check in. I now have 38,000 miles on my TT. I bought it with 16,000+ on it. It has been a joy to drive. I usually switch with my Durango by weeks. Still runs good. I use the M1 T&SUV 5w-40 synthetic oil. I can't say enough about the fun my wife and I have when driving. Great car that will be in the family for quite a while. |
