#45 of 46 Re: Advice re Purchase of 2002 TT Coupe [floridacarwiz] by big8pe Mar 21, 2009 (5:00 am)
Replying to: floridacarwiz (Mar 17, 2009 12:19 pm) floridacarwiz, thanks. I've agreed to purchase the car contingent on a mechanic's inspection. Car was in excellent condition and well-cared for. Guy has all maintenance records and has already replaced instrument cluster. My one concern is the timing belt. I cannot seem to get a straight answer either from him or dealership. He's had it inspected by Audi dealer at 60,000 and was told it was good for another six months or to 75K miles. He also says dealer told him it was good to 105,000 miles. He mentions a class action on this but I can't find it. Regardless, car is soon to be mine and I just plan to plunk down the money to have timing belt replaced and other stuff as mechanic recommends. But I would like to get more skinny on this belt issue. Any suggestions? Thanks. Replies to this message: floridacarwiz (Mar 23, 2009 8:46 am)

Replying to: big8pe (Mar 21, 2009 5:00 am) Big8pe, Congratulations on your decision to puchase the TT. I wish you the best of luck. They are good cars, and like any other, wear and tear will occur. Just service the car by the book and you should not have a problem. I plan on keeping mine indefinitely and making it a project car. The next mods should be a larger turbo, injectors and an intercooler. The car runs like a top at 32,000 miles, and I am getting ready for a 35,000 mile service. Keep in touch on your travails, and best of luck with the fine Audi automobile. Elliott
