Great advice, Dom. The Haynes manual is cheap for a reason, it's really only about 50% complete, at best. I have a digital copy of the Bentley manual on my tablet and your praise is not misplaced.
Couldn’t agree more, just wish I brought one sooner. Handy having torque values that close to hand
@@TheParrottBros As opposed to the traditional technique of tightening until it shears, and then backing it off half a turn! :-)
😂😂 righty tighty lefty Lucy haha. Or my grandads method of the number of white knuckles tight 😂
Hey where did you find the manual online?
@@RockCYP if you search the internet you shall find it. Last time I looked was on a tt page on Facebook
I bought mine the same time as the car, it is definitely a must have!
Couldn’t agree more
@@TheParrottBros I learned my lesson with a Corrado G60, lol
Excellent manual. Paid for itself when it provided the instructions to reset my driver side door window, after the installation of a new window regulator. 🙂
Happy days, also nice when something you buy proves its worth and comes in handy :)
Got to give the Haynes manual some defence here, for basic servicing info it's spot on and for the average DIYer probably covers what you need at £15 new. You then have the tt forum and yours and bws videos for further detail.
I don’t mind the Haynes manual but if anything it’s worse than not looking sometimes. It’s overall complicating and not enough info at times. Back in the day when cars were simple it was fine. Now they just don’t put enough info in them. Plus with bws & tt forum your right it’s ideal. I’ll give my Haynes manual away next month for someone to win 🤙🏻
I would like to keep my TT still severeral year (coupe 2004, tiptronic, blue sprint, baseball leather)
I own it since 13 year now and I bought this bentley manual last year because I also know it will be difficult to find this one in 5 or 10 year.
So for me this bentley manual is something important to get, even if you are not DIY and go to a professionnal garage other than Audi because they could have difficulty to find the correct documentation.
good advice.
That sounds like an absolutely fantastic colour/ interior combo!! Thanks for your comment, I agree it’s worth having for sure
These cars are so addictive. AUDI TRADITION is a fantastic source for parts. AUDI have started the deleted count down. Keep up the great work Dom.
The dreaded no longer available mark, fingers crossed we can get parts for many years to come
I have noticed on the 3.2 dsg roadster, some of the front suspension stuff around removing the control arms didn't line up. I imagine there's a couple other smalls misses in the manual, but every other repair I've done has been spot on
That's awesome!!! In my opinion tho you should never sale the tt mk1 its a future classic, especially now that Audi has stopped the TT production line and the R8 which it sucks!!! But many awesome audi models to come, my favorite at the moment is the RSQ8 and the RS7!!! Totally Beasts!!!!
Yea of course If you can keep them forever then ideal, but even if you own a tt as a stop gap car or a fixer upper it’s a handy book to have and holds its value.
The newer models are unreal, serious power from them too. Cost on the other hand is housing prices 😂
Just got one for £55! Really impressed with it 😎🤟🏻
Cheers for the recommendation 👍🏻
Thats a result
Went ahead and bought the manual and found that it is missing most of the important stuff i bought it for. The price was right for USA at $89.00 plus shipping but alas it has lacks alot on the suspension set up on a 2000 TT quattro. There is no mention on the rear control arm frt bushing bracket for mounting to the frame. This will affect the ride height. It basiclly has the same information as the haynes manual. It does state in the front that this book is for DIY but it is not a comprehensable manual. Was expecting alot more so be careful!
Really could have used this book about 2 weeks ago when I ran in to loads of problems after replacing my front shocks on my 2004 TT. Tones of ESP electrical problems and just misalignment problems and difficulties with reassembly of the shocks
That doesn’t sound good, hope you got it sorted
You want a Bentley manual for ANY Audi ,I sold mine after selling my tt ,but found one for my A4 b7 quattro for a great price .
Happy days, sometimes you get lucky specially with eBay haha
The no one thing a TT owner needs is deep pockets !🤫
I hear that 😂
I haven't read a book since high school but something about this manual with all its fine details about torque settings will deffo get me excited about good old book reading 🤣 deffo way better than the digital version as well great vid Dom as usual man 👌👌👌
Haha, you and me both been years since ive read a book cover to cover. Think i will be learning this book page for page. Thanks for the support dude :)
I bought mine 10 years ago!
Blimey, should know it cover to cover then ☺️
I have a 2001 TT Quattro Roadster with the V6 complete body kit, 18'' wheels, 12mm/15mm TPI spacers, bilstein shocks, brembo drill discs w/ Ferodo Performance pads and Goodridge steel braided brake lines. With a remap that increased 23hp and 90Nm. The Bentley Manual was a big help to do the mods.
Fits perfectly under rear bonnet in trunk of my convertible TT right next to r32 compressor from previous ride .
Happy days, a handy thing to keep to hand for sure
Looking for info on "J tube" .cat efficiency code . J tube is part I need .
Any guidance ?
@@hanssmith5571 sorry it’s not something I can help with I’m afraid
Hello Parrott Bro's, very interesting channel. I have a TT 225 quattro from 2004.
I was looking to improve my brake system and I saw your good video where you provide excellent suggestions.
I will probably go to TT 3.2 front brake system.
First I will replace my brake hoses by braided ones and of course replace brake fluid.
I have this excellent Bentley bible that you present in this video.
But there is some confusion about brake bleeding order:
In chapter Maintenance 3-30, the brake bleeding order is right rear, left rear, right front and left front
while in chapter Brakes-Hydraulic 47-3 it is mentioned :
The design of the ABS hydraulic unit requires that brakes be bleed in the following (non-traditional) order:
left front, right front, left rear and right rear.
What sequence are you using ?
Thanks
I usually do farthest to closest using a pressure bleeder, always have on all cars. usually helps to get rid of any air that is not wanted in the system. You may need to cycle Abs using vcds if you think your likely to have got air in the abs pump
Even shows you how to adjust rear camber on the Quattro models !!!
Ordered 👍🏻👍🏻
Nice one, let me know what you think when get it
The Parrott Bro’s
Will do mate.
We like to recycle here... so when it says replace we re-use and just do it tight hahaha!
Great video dude, gone for orange lighting now I like it!
Haha living life on the edge I see 😂. Yeah thought I would do a pinky red for Valentine’s Day ayy 😍
great vid dom, someone at work showed me a haynes for a new car and it said in the oil change section to take it to a dealership,,,, making the book totally pointless and to add insult it was even thinner than the tt book and £25
That’s just typical isn’t it, new cars are being manufactured for mechanics service only as so much computer work and software needed unnecessarily
I don't suppose it tells you what the sensor on the right hand side of the engine is haha(just below the funny 3 way pipe) mine looks oily wondering if it's maybe a gasket leaking
That’s the vvt / can chain tensioner. There is a gasket for it and usually is changed when changing out the rocker gasket
Aw brilliant cheers buddy
I have a Haynes manual for the TT.....nothing about a 3.2 ;)
Hi need some advice on my audi tt mk1 2002 1.8t quattro the radio don't switch on and I've tried a diffrent radio no luck. Even changed the fuses in the stereo and side panel no luck but you can hear power to the cd changer that's it?
Have you checked power with a volt meter at the plugs to the stereo?
I just ordered one Saturday
You won’t be disappointed it’s 👌🏻
I never heard of Bentley’s manual before, up to two weeks ago. I saw a UA-cam video of a lady trying to sort out problems on the first 911 and she kept referencing Bentleys manual. I was like, what does Bentley have to do with a Porsche?
😂😂 I had heard of it but always begrudged paying the money for a book. Got the online version then was like ok yeah I need a book one. Much easier than taking my laptop out to car to do work
@@TheParrottBros Ordered meself a set of new tyres the other day. Went for Michelin pilot sport 4, 235/40 r18. Everyone said, like you, don't put the dunlop tyres I used to have on. These are better. Got them at 235, instead of 225. I hope they fit alright, the seller said I'd be fine since the car is stock height. Planning on having the dash repaired, to fix the erratic temperature. The guy asked 400 euros, he will fix both fuel and temperature gauge, as well as change the pixelated screen with a new one and re-program the whole thing. I asked him about it, since I know those gauge motors cost like 25 euros a piece. He said, I can do that and you can have it back in an hour, but it will probably still have issues. I dunno, it seems alright. I think the screen goes for 110 brand new, so I guess it's alright to pay as much as he asked.
Great video even with that book i would struggle lol im not mechanicly minded wish i was would save a fortune.
Haha some times it’s not a bad thing mate, at times I wish I didn’t like cars, I would have a lot more money and free time 😂
@@TheParrottBros lol Dom true m8
I have a popping noise from my front steering at low speed. Usually when I first atart moving my car. Any ideas? I tried all ball joints, tie rods, brakes, sway links, bushings. No idea!
That’s odd. To be honest without hearing it, it’s very hard to say what it could be especially if you have already checked all the above
Do they make one for the B8 S4? I’m not able to find it on their website
They don’t I’m afraid
@@TheParrottBros okay thanks! I thought I was crazy
Nice video! Does the Bentley manual give any information about the needed tools? I mean from an amateur's perspective? Just curious. I've got most of the official Audi manuals for the TT (Instead of one book they are separated by topic), but at most they tell you which special VAG tool is required. Sometimes a little annoying when you think you need the VAG 1234, but instead you could've just used a screwdriver... Of course, that's an exaggeration. ;) Nevertheless, literature like this is absolutely priceless and can save a lot of time for anyone planning to do more than just basic repairs.
yes
It's almost £100 with p&p!.. hmm not sure I'm THAT keen! 😂
Although having said that maybe it would help with g200 & g251 sensor issues!
Look at it as an investment and can always sell on down the line 😂
Why theres TTs' 2000 ---> wheres 1998 and 1999
That must be when they produced the manual, or when the tt came to USA. They are very comprehensive and I would be surprised if much has been missed
A must!
Thanks Dom, just bought anew copy from US. I am positive I shall save what I have invested in the manual. Ito have a Haynes manual, looked at a couple of times, it’s a mess. Did you have any thoughts on the low dust brake pads ?
You won’t be disappointed, I’ve just replied to your email about pads 👍🏻
Молодец продолжай в том же духе )))
Hi, Dom I'm glad to hear your enjoying the manual, it's definitely a wealth of info, nothing like a book for information, i thought I'd leave my prints on their for you 😂 😂, pe@ce.!
It’s all about it’s history. Love it mate, so glad you parted with it 🤙🏻
@@TheParrottBros no worries mate, i didn't see any mechanics with one, like you said everyone with a tt should get one, its a money saver!
@@mstjohn80 that and will help you plan jobs prior to doing them. Rather than getting stuck mid job 😂
I love the grimy fingerprints! Is there any way to get an electronic version?
OK, just heard your comment about electronic version.
Drop me an email and I can point you in the right direction if you can’t find one
Its on my wanted list 😊
Was on mine too till now ☺️
Now all sold out on Amazon 🤣
Unfortunately i didn't get one 👎
Aww man! I’m sure if you keep an eye out one will come available soon
@@TheParrottBros im assuming the Bentley is a us publication? So obviously it wont list Bam,is the Bea its equivalent?
Was two on Amazon for £89.95 now there is only 1 :( ...
Cheap ones don’t hang about that’s for sure. They are a wealth of knowledge and handy to have at your disposal
Lol sold out now .... you should have affiliate links :)
@@DodgyDave I do but didn’t think of Amazon 😂
i got one of the two just got it today
@@alwaysblazen1369 haha Got in quick!
That must be the holy bible for the TT😂😂
It really is 😂 I’m still sitting reading it now
Personal I was disappointed with the Bentley manual and certainly doesn't tell you everything you would need to know as there's not too much information after the breakdown of the head for what needs to go past the order of valve cover bolts. Not really any information on the transmission either.
So a general manual yeah but it's not as detailed as everything as the Bible that it looks like for certain it looks like it should have everything you would ever want to know about a TT but it does not.
I'm running a 02' 225hp roadster. I bought the book whenever I was going to begin to work on the engine and transmission anything I've ever read in the book I already knew how to do prior to you unfortunately it does have a great bit of information but. it'd be wonderful to have more detailed information on inner works of engine and transmission
It’s a tough one as it’s not a full full mechanical nut and bolt guide but it is a very good maintenance guide. Most who use and own them will never dream of doing there own timing belt / engine removal etc so it’s geared to most driveway jobs.
Anything as in-depth like autodata and your into £1000’s
@@TheParrottBros
That's certainly a fair enough statement I can't say I have experience with other manuals and I'm certain it's far better than the hands manual.
I never dreamed of doing these types of repairs in my garage either but here I am build an entire garage based on fixing a car instead of taking it to a shop.
Because really you can pay for tools and mess stuff up with in some reason (if you're the guy that fills your oil up to the top of the drain then this is not for you to do)
I have and still saved money when compared to regional Audi repair garage will charge.
That would be great to have a more detail appendage of the further points but they save that for the Audi dealers.
To all the others learning on their car. hat's off to you and keep going.
Great Channel keep up the detailed videos. There's always more we can only learn
P.s. I think that Lego direction should be the standard for all directions lol
