    This is a very good idea bro Iv seen it here first. From start to finish, I hope other UA-camrs start doing this as well rather than all the builds that just never get watched again, some of us wouldn’t mind watching longer videos, pin 📌 it lol….keep up the great content Chris 😎

      @@Chris_Slix lol thanks for pinning it, you might as well get paid for all the hard work you do. Rather than all the good content going to waste, it’s more likely someone that’s already watched the videos will watch it again all together as one upload, then go back and watch it one at a time 🕰️ if that makes sense lol 😂, I definitely will watch it again because I have come to to watch other videos Iv already seen lol 😂, keep up the great work 👌🏼👌🏼

    I had a black 2009 Audi Audi Roadster with the 2.0 Turbo and I absolutely loved it! Unfortunately, once it hit around 80k miles, it started completely falling apart, and for some reason it’s super expensive to buy parts and get work done on an Audi in the States. Ended up trading for a 2015 BRZ. I miss it sometimes, especially with that turbo, but it was such a cash sink to maintain. Plus the soft top shrunk and separated from the back windshield and was an estimated $1500 to fix. I didn’t even like the soft top. If I could redo it, I would have held out for a TTS. They look so much cooler than the Roadster IMO.
    Oh, also 2 months into having it, my key got trapped in the ignition and the only way I could turn the car off was to get into the trunk and disconnect the battery, but i had already pulled out the starter fuse, and disconnect the battery I figured out there’s a manual release cable in the trunk, and I had to use a broom and fish out the handle. Once I could finally grab it, all I had to do was pull hard and it would open the trunk.” I drove around like that for 2 months before I finally got it fixed, because it was a $700 repair and I had just moved across the country with absolutely nothing to start a new job. So every time I got into my car, I would manually open the trunk with the cable, go to the trunk and re-connect the negative terminal to my battery, and then my car would automatically turn on since the key was stuck in the on position, and I could twist it to start the engine. Then when I had to turn it off, I’d have to first park, pop the trunk, pull the fuse out, disconnect the battery, and leave it like that till I had to get back in. The reason I had to do this with the fuse is because if I disconnected the battery without removing the fuse, the car would basically lock me out from starting. It was such a pain in the ass. 😂

      I knew next to nothing about automotive mechanic work at the time. If I knew what I know now, I would have fixed it myself. The part alone was $400 and I had to take it to a licensed German car repair place and was charged $300 for 3 hours of labor. 🥲

    I just bought a 2001 Audi TT roadster. It’s the most fun car I’ve ever driven, I absolutely love it. The design of the exterior and interior is art. I’ll own it forever. I wanted it since senior year of High School (2001). I’ve unfortunately owned a Porsche Boxster, the Audi TT is definitely better. Audi TT and TJ/YJ Jeep Wrangler. These two are the best vehicles and generation for the model without question and I will own them forever.

    This is a really interesting video! I love it. I bought an audi TT for roughly the same price, and unfortunately it turned out to be... not as described. The dealer promised to fix it, he didn't. He promised to refund me, he didn't. And then he promised me some money back for repairs, which also never materialised. It has been almost a year of absolute hell and limbo, but I'm ready to start the new year and get down to business, and this video has given me some info to use

  • @leonrichard7105
    @leonrichard7105 11 місяців тому

    Much respect for all the hard work you put into that rebuild. I'm also so impressed with how you could source parts so inexpensively. 8J TTs are very rare here in NB, Canada. About the only place you can source used body parts is through Ebay in the US. They are still expensive and the costs for shipping are quite substantial. I am astounded that the downpipe yielded such an increase in horsepower. If I understand correctly, you eliminate the cat and resonator. Doesn't that throw a CEL and code? Also, because that mod makes the car pollute a lot more, I don't believe that it would pass our strict provincial motor vehicle inspections. How do you get around the smog tests? I would figure that the UK would have even more air pollution restrictions than here in Canada. I wasn't keen on the blue color when you started, but the car turned out sharp in the end. My favourite mods were the ceiling, steering wheel cover and the aftermarket headunit. I would love to find one that seamlessly works with the Audi CPU and offers a backup camera. The factory headunit looks dated and absolutely sucks in comparison. Keep up the great work!
