I have one of the first MK2’s. 2006. Front wheel drive. Electric seats, multi function steering wheel, 18inch V6 wheels, phantom black metallic paint. All as standard from the original invoice. Having previously owned a MK1 225, the difference between the two cars is insane. The Lamborghini merger and the clear indication of the Veyron’s development shows no end in this car. It’s as solid as it was from day one. 85000 miles and still going incredibly strong. It’s an absolute keeper!
If you leave the DRL on in automatic mode, it will NOT stay on all the time and kill the battery. That's just stupid. They turn off automatically after about 30 seconds once the key is removed or alarm is set.
Mate what the hell was that?! These are literally the most obvious and well known facts... and it’s pretty hard to find a European car post 2002 without a rear mounted battery, my 03 Range Rover even had one...
The car is mostly FWD but the rear wheels engage whenever slip is detected on the rear wheels.. not as you said. Additionally, the DRL's will shut off automatically, even when not in auto mode.
@@jessebremner5209in sport mode it keeps your car in the lowest gear to keep the turbo spooling, this is so you recieve the fastest acceleration as soon as you hit the pedal
My 2015 audi tt is AWD, i wouldnt have bought it other wise, cause i live in tahoe and it works great in the snow, way better than i expected for being so low.
1. the place that the battery is supposed to be in is actually reserved for the tt with manual transmission. Those cars need a master and slave cylinder to engage and disengage the clutch. 2. This car does not use quattro. Although it may be called quattro, it actually uses an haldex system that is used in VW vehicles. True quattro sends about 80% of the power to the rear wheels when needed which Haldex cannot do.
I bet this video is made by an American. These 6 "unknown" things are probably the first things that should come in mind when you think of an Audi TT.... if you are not an American of course.
If he is I apologize on his behalf... I’m American and do test and racing work for Audi Sport and this type of video reinforces the stereotypes in a big way!
Yeah, i bought an 8j in early june, the 2.0 bpy version. The little light sprayers definitely surprised me and rhank you for sharing how to turn them off too! As far as design goes so far there are 2 things i really liked and 1 thing that anniys me. 1. I like howThe harmonic balancer or lower crankshaft pulley is fitted onto the engine by separate bolts. I found that a little easier and convenient when changing out the belt/water pump/tensioner/rollers. 2. I like where the fuel filter is located, it was much more convenient than the typical american car (although it seems like its a little more unsafe wjere it is at) The one thing i really dislike is how the air filter is mounted in the engine cover. Ifs very inconvient and when i change out to a cold air intake i wanted it to be able to stay on but i dont think thats possible without modding
JQuattro in the snow is almost permanent 4wd. If you boot it all 4 wheels spin the same. Even with soft p zeros it will go anywhere while 2wd get abandoned in the snow
One thing you didn't know about the Audi TT ALL mk1 TTs come with a spare wheel except the Quattro sport which I doubt you ever got as they only made around 600.
Anyone have any clue why all of the buttons on the doors could have suddenly stopped working? Can't open the gas cap! 08 m2 TT 2.0T any advice would be much appreciated.
The Quattro system is actually a Haldex Quattro....made by....err...Haldex. The Haldex system is only capable of putting 50% power to the rear wheels. This only occurs once the front begin to slip. This isn't an issue in snow ofc as it engages right away. Compared to a full Quattro system....which can put anywhere from =>5 to 90% power to the rears. So there's a distinction between Quattro and Haldex Quattro
One thing you will probably know after a while: You may turn the parking lights on with your knee leaving the car as it is quite narrow inside. Happened to me ( and I'm not American) until I learned to be careful.
my situation where they stayed on for a while until I shut them off only happened a few times. It's odd how it just started to work correctly out of know where.
I have 2012 Audi TTs, fully loaded but no backup camera just the sensors. And I have Bluetooth to talk but I can’t play music from my iPhone. Where is the audio/music for TTs to connect too?
A video of guesses ! idiot misinforming people ! Quattro doesn’t work like that at all Headlights / Drls don’t work like that at all Headlight washers work on any position
I've recently discovered the headlight washers work in a set of intervals. I mistakenly coralated the times I tested in a different position to a deactivation. Thank you for bringing that up.
Yeah, Lea Osborne is correct. If you leave the DRL on in automatic mode, it will NOT stay on all the time and kill the battery. That's just stupid. They turn off automatically after about 30 seconds once the key is removed or alarm is set.
You’re talking as if theres one type of MK2 no variations lol, for 1 I have the Manual V6, the air filter is positioned differently so theres no big gap in the engine bay, mine doesn’t have an auto headlight mode, mines manual so no S mode... and def doesnt get the MPG you listed, so theres a few things you clearly didn’t know about at least my variation of the MK2
Since every single one of these were common knowledge to literally anyone who deserves to own the car lol...here are a couple of things that atleast 10% of the people here might not know: 1) The VR6 learns if you drive like a granny. And let's face it ..sometimes you will be...even the Ken Block's out there. It does this by adjusting the throttle response. You can reset it( and definitely worth it before a spirited outing). To do the throttle reset( there are a few methods) Reset with no tools 1) When car is cold( i.e after overnight) put the key and turn to position 2 ( or just before the car would actually crank) 2) leave for 3mins. After this time the throttle position sensor has reset and will have adapted to default values( ie full throttle). 3) remove the key( don't start the car) 4) Insert key again and turn her over...you have full power( untill it happens again) Using vcds scan tool. 1) reset the throttle position sensor.
@@JWL-UK Yeah that is a standard procedure. Almost any car benefits from a throttle position sensor reset..every now and then. I think the effect is probably more noticeable in the VR6...but it should still work. Good luck... Happy full throttle 😎
Simon Brickz mine stayed on for over a half hour on auto. MK2.5 2014 TT. I wonder if there is a difference in operation between these and the earlier headlight revision.
I think you have to LOCK the car for them to turn off in 1 min (mine is 2010 and turns off in 1min after locking). Otherwise if its unlocked, like in your garage, then it might stay on.
MY '08 TT with auto mode, when i pull the key headlights switch off automatically and dont discharge the battery. 99% of the time i keep it in auto mode and it works perfectly fine. And u can set the option to "follow me home" or how it is named to keep headlights lit for some time, u can choose the time also.
@@marquesalan In the UK (so I would assume the EU too), all cars with xenon lights must have headlight washers and automatic levelling. I have a 2012 TDI S Line Black Edition and it has xenons with washers
@@dopiaza2006 Yes, all they told me only the US RS model has the washers. It's no big deal. I doubt I would ever use them since I wash my car regularly and our weather isn't drastic. I hate that it has the cut outs with nothing behind them. They should have made the bumper smooth.
Cars & Tech by JDM City haven't had any issues yet, and have actually have put a lot in the car lol. Coming from a mk4 I'm hoping the engine will be familiar enough, just not with all the issues. If you know mk4s you know they come with a lifestyle lol
So I'm really considering purchasing a 13 TTs and I live in MT our winters get pretty brutal. I was told with proper snow tires this thing bombs through the snow. My brother has a B8 S4 and it's killer in the winter. What do you think about the snow performance? At this rate anything will be better than my RWD 335i. Also does this thing have an aux input?
Karter Estill it drives decent in the snow as long as the snow isn't too high. I'm out in NY for reference. It's awd only when it needs to be. Also, there are different adapters that plug into the MMI system. Mine came with the iPod cable. You can swap it for an auxiliary plug.
Audi mk2 TT doesn’t have Mmi If specced, it has ami iPod dock in glovebox is not ami, it’s just a cd emulator If car had aux it is in the leading edge of the tray behind the handbrake
it's actually pretty amazing in the snow - i live in Alberta and drive the car year round, outside of heavy snowfalls where clearance is an issue, the car handles better than most other cars on the road with a good set of winter tires. The quattro system will get you going on any road while the esc is clever and is monitoring everything you're doing, when you turn the wheel the car will make sure you make the turn by slowing down wheels to limit wheel slip. It's actually a pretty unique experience from other heavier cars with a less intuitive stability control. Just make sure you have a decent set of winters on and you'll be outperforming most vehicles on the road.
Every TT owner knows this stuff my dude. Seriously, what the letter S means ? wtf...Where your battery is located ? I knew that on the second day driving that car. UA-cam videos keep getting worse and more misleading
I usually get around 30-34 on long trips, but that one time I filled up with 93 and was on a highway, with no traffic for about 50 or so miles. I had set the cruise control at around 75-80 and cruised. It was the only time I hit an average that high.
The D is for "drive " only select this if you want to move forward, please note " you can't go backwards when using D mode
It’s also good to remind everyone that “R” is not for Racing….
I didn’t know the S was for sport mode. Thanks for sharing !

What's the biggest difference in how it drives in sport mode?

same its a great litle sport car tbh. Tho I am looking to boost the engine a bit in the futurt to stage 2 maybe
Agreed I own TT RS with a 6spd manual. Great car and with a Stage 1 tune it’s a beast.
I've bought recently a second hand TT mk2 and I really like it ;) nice video!

1st gen does come with a spare
superfalcon022 thus the MK 2 part of the title...
first and second gen of the mk2. The mk1 comes with a spare
day time running lights turn off in auto after 40 seconds or so after leaving the car. Think this is like follow me home lights.
my situation where they stayed on for a while until I shut them off only happened a few times. It's odd how it just started to work correctly out of know where.
Thanks for that "automatic headlight spraying". That works on my BMW too
If you turn something circle left or right that is steering wheel and that is 7
So that big round lump under the boot in my TT isn’t a spare tyre then? Interesting 😂
If its a early 06 MK2 8J the battery connections are not under the hood/bonnet.
