In this video I take a closer look at one of my favorite VW Group cars, the 2005 Audi TT quattro Sport 240. This example was owned by me from Nov 2014 to April 2016 and was a project car for Audi Driver magazine appearing in every issue during 2015.
This is a link to the in-car footage of chasing a TT RS at Castle Combe in October 2015. This was the Audi TT owner's club session hence the number of TTs on track

I think you’ve made a great point there at the end which can be applied right across the board now when we’re discussing our love for fast cars. Driver involvement is being lost now for cars that, with practically zero driver input and feeling, will get you from 0-100mph in silly times. But where’s the fun in that? Some of the best cars are the ones that you perhaps need to work a little harder. Anyway, great video as usual👍
Thanks Crocoman 🙌
Which is why the up gti and swift sport are so much fun
Yup, I have just sold a BMW M135i with 320 BHP and now drive a Skoda Citigo with 60 BHP. The BMW might be able to get to 100 mph faster than the Citigo can get to 60 mph, but on windy country roads the Citigo is maybe more engaging, especially since I fitted Bilstein B14 coilovers. Am going for a remap to (hopefully 85 BHP) - gotta remember that this is about the power of early Mini Coopers though. The BMW could not be safely stretched on the road - I reckon 200 BHP for a car of 1.3 tonnes is about max needed for road. Toyota GT86 fits that bill in standard spec and might be the most engaging car I have ever driven.
Regarding the front brakes, on my 03 225HP TT (BEA 1.8T Engine), I also upgraded to the 334mm semi-floated rotors, but I went with the R32 calipers, mainly because they were cheaper but also lighter weight aluminium vs VR6 TT cast iron calipers. Required R32 lines as well due to different fittings. Of course also used matching blue iron pad carriers. Ironically, the thicker & larger diameter 334mm rotors are also lighter than the OE 312mm rotors due to the aluminium hub mount of the rotor. Also, do yourself a favor and run good old three prong NGK #7808 Spark Plugs (BKUR6ET = 0.75-0.8mm gap for turbo engines, BKUR6ET-10 = 1.0mm gap for non turbo engines). You'd be surprised the power and fuel economy gain just using these better, more durable copper core plugs. These were the OE plugs used in the early 058 block 1.8T's in the early B5 chassis A4's. Much, much better than the bullsh!t platinum tip plugs and a fraction of the cost. Really the power and fuel econ. gain is due to the three prong plugs taking up slightly more space within the combustion chamber, thereby raising the compression ratio ever so slightly. On mine, I have the 7 spoke, 18x7.5 inch wide wheels but I run 245/40 tires instead of 225/40 tires. Slightly larger circumference further adding to improved fuel economy and slightly improved acceleration. Also, I run 10mm wheels spacers front and 15mm spacers rear. (So for me, spacers and longer wheel bolts almost offsets the weight savings of lighter brake hardware). The slightly over sized tires and wheel spacers really gives it that aggressive sports car look/stance it should have had from the factory and a huge handling improvement especially with Bilstein Struts & Shocks. Also, turn your Idle speed adaption value up to 132 instead of 128 so the engine idles at about 780 rpm vs 740 rpm. Better off idle throttle response and much more stop n' go traffic friendly. (I should note that the ECU in my car will actually accept an idle adapt value up to 134 or 136, I think, even though vw/audi engine controllers of that vintage should only take idle adaption values in the 124-132 range. At least all other controllers I've monkey'd with over the years only accepted 124-132 values. Soooo,?????). Also, that restricting intake air pipe fitted to the air filter box which directs the induction noise into the wheel arch, take that off too. Just another touch more power gain and makes it a proper sounding turbo engine. I also removed the AC compressor and lines out of the engine bay to mimic the euro sport model, but also installed a plastic (glass fiber reinforced polyester, I believe) PS pump pulley as used on BMW M54 engines (i.e. E46 & E39 cars). My original pulley was a steel pulley which are heavy as hell for a little dinky pulley. The plastic BMW pulley is lighter weight than even the current OE replacement aluminium pulleys and off course a larger diameter. So improved pulley drive ratio and less rotational mass = more power and fuel economy gain. I should note, to do this you'll need to use the OE pulley as a jig to drill new mounting holes into the plastic pulley. The OE pulley has both the standard ZF pump flange mount holes as well as the smaller VW specific mount holes. Center hub portion of both flanges is the same. I went with the OE BMW pulley cause, well, it's a cheap 30 dollar OE production part vs an overpriced 250-300 dollar aftermarket billet aluminium pulley. Should I ever need to replace the PS pump, I'll use an OE replacement ZF pump also for a BMW E46 car and just swap the back plate of the VW group ZF pump to keep proper 4 bolt mounting. Maybe also swap the suction line fitting too.
The absolute biggest power and fuel economy gain on my car was putting on a good free flowing cat-back exhaust. I went with the good old redneck muffler shop engineering route since I started my car fixin' days as a young man in high school. Which means I ditched that ridiculous 60lbs+ muffler and used 2.5 inch pipe with a straight inline resonator from the cat back split into dual 2.25 inch tail pipes (with proper stainless tips of course). The free flowing exhaust really lets that K04 turbo spool up nice. So much so that it has significantly less turbo lag and it's always over boosting a little bit. When checking and graphing measuring block group 115 for target and actual turbo charge pressure in the ECU, during normal moderate driving, the actual charge pressure always outpaces the target values early and 200-300 millibar over. At full load in the peak rpm range when target value maxes out at 1980 millibar, the actual charge usually peaks out just below 2100 millibar, and occasionally just a touch over 2100 millibar. So basically, it's always over boosting just slightly, but never so much that it sets over boost faults.
Also, the exhaust has a nice moderate deep rumbling growl. She really does sound like a mean little b!tch, not stupid obnoxious like a 90hp honda civic with a 5 inch coffee can scraping on every speed bump.
I haven't dyno'ed the car but I'd conservatively guess the car is turning out 260HP, maybe closer to 270HP on a nice cool and humid day, but easily and consistently gets 36-38mpg's on the highway with normal easy cruising and always 20+ mpg's with in-town driving. In-town is harder to track cause sitting/idling in traffic = 0mpg's.
A few other little things like I use 10w-60 Ester base oil (RedLine brand) mainly because I like it using less than 1/2 quart of oil per 1000 miles and I plan on getting 300K miles minimum out of her (also part of the reason for slightly higher idle speed to raise idle oil pressure since manual trans cars tend to wear crankshaft thrust bearings more). Also, I use 06b109119"F" timing belt and water pump from the 2.0T direct injection engine (BPY engine).....that's another story though. Being one of the HP 1.8T's, 80° Celsius thermostats is a must.
To me, it's the perfect balance between high performance sports car and practical everyday driver, and a driver's car at that. Being front wheel biased AWD makes it really good even in 3 inches of snow with performance summer tires. Not to mention tires last 45-60K miles being such a light small car. Mine is even white, so she kinda is a little cream puff.
You know your car man!
Lots of great info! do you keep a log or post on any forums? Interested in the braking points you made, as im due and am looking to reduce rotational mass as much as possible.
Great info, thank you
@@TheWolf133 You're welcome.
I fell in love with the MK1 TT 20 years back when I saw it being unveiled at the motor show as a concept. 20 years on I’m the very proud owner of a Quattro Sport 240. I absolutely love the car. It’s simple basic design is a joy to drive. Many will complain it’s based on a mk 4 golf chassis but if that bothers you there’s plenty of mods out there to improve the driving experience. For me it’s perfect and every time I sit in those pole position seats it feels like a great place to be. Great video showing what these cars are about.
The mk1 is still the best value classic on the market,
Still feels special,loves corners and that 1.8t 20v is one of the greatest engines in any modern car.
They’re unfortunately still stuck with the Hairsresser tag they’ve inherited from people who either haven’t driven them or aren’t drivers and they’re early gen1 haldex is reminiscent of an old evo if you’re friendly with your right foot.
Great video,keep up the good work!
Always loved the Mk1 TT. I had a 225 originally for about three years then a 3.2 for a similar period. I modded the 3.2 (suspension and exhaust). Post mods it looked, drove and sounded awesome. Sadly gone now in favour of something more practical but always hankered after another. The 240 Sport would "suit me sir" - but I'd probably struggle getting out of the Recaros.
Great review. :-) I had a modified TTqs, in fact it was featured in Audi driver magazine, a little before you began featuring your TTqs. I had some great times with it, and one epic drive across France, taking in mountain and coastal B roads. Eventually it was the lack of comfort that led me to let her go. Which brings me to my latest VAG acquisition, an 07 GTI edition 30. I really feel she has a similar blood line to my qs, but is so much a better all rounder, and more usable and comfortable. I remember pulling off the autoroute on my way to the south of France late at night in my qs, desperately wanting to have a bit of shut eye. And the Recaro pole position making that task nigh on impossible. I feel with my now nicely, not overly modified edition 30, I have the best of both worlds. I thought I would share this as I know you love and have owned both. Keep up the great work, really enjoy your videos.
Just stumbled across this video - loved it for many reasons, not least how lovely your blue looks in the sun. Mine's a 3.2 Mk1 and entirely coincidentally also has a plate ending in FML... Having seen how good your Recaros look in the QS I'm very tempted to re-install my Cobra Misano Luxes... Thank you for taking the time to post up so many useful TT vids :) /Al
Great video Andrew. You’ve made me want so many cars!
Have just bought a gorgeous, 2015 silver TT Mk 2.0 manual. I own an Auto 2013 Freelander2 and decided I needed something with gears... for the weekend!
Great channel, keep up the good work.
Jon
On my 3rd TT, all mk1's and two being V6's. Love them and love being in it.
Catching up, lovely car that, paintwork popping in the sun. Cheered me up as we sit through another day of lockdown. Cheers Andrew.
I love the TT 8N and the Quattro Sport is simply the greatest of them all. I have a 8J RS but I‘m currently looking at 8N Roadsters for the summer, these cars will be future classics.
Hey there! I saw a silver Mk1 TT roadster 180 PS for £1250 yesterday at a back street dealer. Looked a bit modified, wheels/exhaust/suspension but generally OK. Can't be that cheap for long!
I nearly bought one of these for my wife, about 10 years ago. During the test drive a cat ran out and smacked right into it, breaking the front spoiler. The cat died. The guy wanted me to pay but i felt his insurance should cover it. The deal fell through and we got our r32 instead, which weve still got. Always loved the design of these.
R32 is a great car too, shame about the cat though 😿
Andrew - always thought you were a car nerd 🤓 with great attention to details and this video proves it - I always thought of TT mk1 as having basic golf underpinnings and best experienced in orange as a 3.2 auto cruiser which btw you’d be great to review - mk1 model here in Oz suffered from press around the first models going off the road like badly driven 911s then ignition coil issues plus reliability issues due to our high sulphur unleaded and the 5 valve head hence I placed them in same category as other nice looks but no substance cars and now I want one :) great project car here as relatively cheap now to buy
Go buy Malcolm! A few mods help and reliability got better the later they are, 2005 is 7 years in
Malcolm Another OZ bod , i just sold my 225 with 84k on the clock never had any major issues in 6 years , it was a fun drive but not using it enough and then i got GTI Clubsport which pushed further into the garage .
If serviced on time they are quite reliable , high milers are usually crap with nasty mods , always loved the look .
Anyone toying with the idea of buying one I would highly recommend.
Had my 2000 225 for over three years now and I just love it.
She's covered 96k from new with full service history, been ultra reliable and cost nothing apart from routine maintenance.
Only returns about 25 mpg but that's with a heavy right foot.
Feels really safe and secure on the road, I've taken corners at speed where lesser cars would be in a ditch. She annoys Porsche drivers who really have to push their cars to overtake me especially considering they spent tens of thousands on their vehicles and mine cost me £1500.
Insurance for me is only £200 per year. Noticed their rising in value now so if your looking for a fun, fast, reliable sports car for silly money go and get one now !
Brings back memories. Had a Mk1 TT 225 . Loved it and kept it for four years from new .You are so knowledgeable on these cars . Amazing
We can forget how desirable the TT was back in the day, to own one from new is a very cool thing. There aren't many affordable modern cars that are that desirable.
volkswizard It was a Company car . Was only meant to have it three years (from 2003) but managed to hang onto her for an extra twelve months. I see on the DVLA site she is still going and , hopefully , loved
Great to see you've got it back Andrew - pleasing to hear a favourable review particularly from someone who drives a lot of performance VAG group vehicles. Ive owned my qS nearly 6 years now and its hard to see me ever parting with it.
Hi David, sadly I've already sold it as need the cash due to you know what, I really wanted to take it to the next level with a video project. I've always loved the qS, bought my first 1 in 2009 and as standard they are perfect for the road. Biggest difference over a 225 is the boostyness of that engine, much more important than the extra 15 hp!
Nice to see a video review on the original TT QS. Not many people know about it. I have had all the variations of the mk1 TT and this is the best by far. All the negatives over the years about it not being fast or doesn't feel like a sports car have all been addressed in the QS. If you are a fan of the mk1 TT the QS will tick all your boxes. Becoming rare and prices are going up, not many low mileage ones left for under 11/12k.
Great video!.
Clearly the QS doesn't tick all TT fans boxes. You feel it is the best because it is the best handling, but the standard TT is a very capable car. The 3.2 is on a par with the QS for straight line speed, but the heavy engine induces understeer. But not everyone wants to go screeching around corners on the ragged edge just to save a few 1/100ths of a second ! Some people will use their car to carry small children, which the QS can't do. And some people love the style of the TT (me) but can't justify the ridiculous premium the QS commands. There are different models of TT because people have different requirements, for some the 150 bhp convertible is perfect as it provides stylish open air motoring at low running costs and purchase price. Different strokes L !
Great video. I have owned a 1999 MK1 225 for 5 years (first car). Someone local is selling a Misano red QS with reccaro’s, full Audi service history and only 56K miles- I was tempted already but after watching this I’m deffo going to view.
Let me know how you get on Liam. Just don't take any BS about not needing a cambelt due to mileage, 5 years really is the safe maximum
Quattro sport was the last and best but there is at least one better. I am in the process of buying it. An ABT sportsline tt limited. This model limited 1 as there was a limited 2 and a widebody model, there were only 11 made, mods are perfect. Compared to a standard Quattro which I have a 225 LHD, has bigger front and rear discs, stainless steel exhaust with four exhaust tips sticking out and a 5 speed short shifter. This one is right hand drive with 310bhp bigger Turbo as standard. I live in Japan.
Owned one for 2 years, really miss the car, driving feel and engagement... these are holding and appreciating in value. Future classic!
I have a 8N as a project car/ road track car. I love the fact you get a bit of turbo lag but if you absolutely nail the shift then you’ll stay in boost which is very rewarding.,,
Wish I'd mentioned the lag, it's not old school bad but it's definitely more noticeable than modern turbo (and that's not bad thing in my book!)
volkswizard 100%. I switch between mine and my modern Audi everyday and it’s very noticeable for me.
I had lag until I ran my 225 on v power fuel. Lag gone!
Chris Papillon I’ve tried both
Great video love love love the TT just a great looking car had a black mk1 225 in my early 30’s and last month (now in my early 40s) a mate that’s a tow driver was taking one to scrap asked if I was interested in having look I hesitated before I knew it he was at my place and thank god 2005 mk1 3.2 Quattro and this is the icing on my cake factory navigation system and wait for it..................papaya orange yep I said papaya orange.......couldn’t get car off truck fast enough talk bout love at first sight🥰🥰🥰🥰 would love to know if any other orange ones down under I’ve seen one in w.a but it was roadster🤢
Everything correct, nice presentation but a small correction. All the TT`s had chassis no. that started with TRUZZZ... (not wauzzz )because they were built in Hungary Gyor plant. Only Quattro sport had WUAzzz on chassis no. as mentioned in the video
I owned a 2002 Audi TT quattro 225hp for 13years ... heavly modified and ..under the front fender fit 10x18" rims with 245/35 tires... I drove my TT quattro with 10x18" and 245/35 all around for many years. I had a KW variation 3 suspension fully adjustable, KW adjustable tie road at the rear, B&B stage 2 engine with BMC carbon airbox larger intake pipe, and Forge intake housing, Eisenmann exhurst, movit 4 piston fixed calibre brakes (Porsche Turbo) etc etc... turned out to be a little pocket rocket, the engine had around 300hp and the topspeed was close to 280km/h

Hi Andrew. Love driving my 2000 model 180 quttro roadster whenever I can . Done 140,000 uk miles now. Only issues electrical after a very wet winter. Great value sporty motor. 🖒🖒🖒
Hi Neil, first TT I ever drove was a 99/V Nimbus grey/baseball 225 Roadster which for me is the definitive TT as it's the concept car spec, must start looking for one in that spec right now because as you say they are unlikely to remain that cheap for that long
Any water ingress, I have a 2003 roadster complete with a wet passenger footwell......
I'd never heard of a 240 TT until now. Great colour and looks to be in great nick.
It's not bad for 113k miles, just about to machine polish it as it's not good enough for me (video is flattering).
Great videos always.....oh and after watching others I've place an order for a brand new Up GTi....shame Corona has delayed it
Thanks Matt! Glad you enjoyed it, sorry to hear about the Up! delay, crazy to think the factories are all silent indefinitely isn't it? Fingers crossed it will be sorted soon and the predicted deaths won't materialise.
Hi Andrew, my wife loved her first gen 2001 TT with manual gearbox box. It was like a wild go-kart, lol
Hey Mark, we only got a manual gearbox until 3.2 DSG came out in 2003, did you get an auto before then? One of my favorities is front wheel drive, Tiptronic with paddles and 190 PS, prefer it to the 3.2. Was only made towards the end of the run.
The “ttrs” mk1 was the 3.2 dsg but for Audi looked better show the “3.2” badge than “ttrs”.
By the Way the top speeds is 280 like vr6 but qs doesent reach the vr6 top speed.
Qs is Just a 1.8t inside a vr6 chasis with many vr6 cosmetic enhancements, for collectors.
Sadly Audi did not released a vr6 turbo… that could be the ultimate state of art.
It's in lovely condition and still a head turner ! 😊 Great video 👍
Thanks Jam 68, 113,000 miles on the clock and largely original paint too!
Really good review, I too have a qs. I will never sell it. Great car
It's definitely a car worth holding onto 👍
my mark one makes that gorgeous whistling sound too. not that awful boy racer OTT sound, just a natural 'swiiiiish' never fails to make me smile inside =) love my completely stock 04 mark one to pieces.
Beautiful car, love the interior on these - the luggage shelf look pretty useable too. Fans of text speak acronyms will enjoy the number plate 🤣
Hey Ian, I was suspecting the plate meant something, thanks for clarifying, very topical right now 👊
Good Morning,
I own a TT/3.2 DSG from 2004 since 2018. Love the car, very nice exhaust sound and a pleasure to drive. Not My daily and currently I’m doing some paint corrections, add a TT armrest and keep it as original as possible.
The TT is Still very popular in the UK so the availability of some specific Parts could Be better than in the Netherlands.
I’m looking for an originel cargo net (same as in Your car). Can you help me with some contacts who might have this original cargo net available?
With regards, Stefan
I've always liked the TT from the get-go and nearly bought one from launch. Nearly. Do you have any more of the on-track footage?
I love my 225 had it just over a year now and it’s a joy to drive 👌🏻
Good car, enjoy Colin!
You should do a buying guide for the TT Quattro sport. That would be a great help, for us looking for a 'modern classic'👍
Funny you should say that Mark as I wrote a general TT one for Audi Driver which covered 10 pages! Be easy to transfer to video so watch this space👍
We have a 62000 mile one of these in Newbury Audi for recommission. Lovely car.
Very interesting about the wheel size difference, I never knew that , funny how they have the same tyre size all round considering
i have a 2005 TT quattro roadster, which is awesome to drive. not as powerful as the sport, but with a standard trans, i can get a lot of pep from it.
Great car Jim, enjoy 👍
I had one of these as demo for a short time and absolutely loved it. Took it to a women's charity drive weekend among other equally desirable cars it got the most attention and I've never had as many marriage proposals since.
Good story! Men buy butch cars to impress women but really they need buy cars that women like and that definitely includes the TT
0:01 is the typical view in the rear view mirror 🤣
Great video are these the only tt with the ko4?
Thanks🙌🏻No, the 225 was K04 too, it’s basically a 225 engine with a mild factory map. I don’t of any differences apart from lighter clutch that can’t take more torque than stock so you have to fit a 225 one if you remap
Great vid Andrew!
Sold to that man in the S1 😆
So that whistle noise while accelerating is normal??
Did you need te buy adjustable control arms/tie bars when you lowered? I'm trying to find out if and when its neccesary to replace them for adjustable ones, when lowering. Do you have answers? XD
No need to, the car was setup by TT Shop after it was lowered and they were happy with adjustment available.
@@volkswizard ah okay nice! Would it be the same for a 2004 225 you think?
Lovely Jubbly, beautiful car, but for me a standard seat.
There is a gorgeous red tt sport on detailing world under projects. The standard the guy has that car to his unbelievable
Seen that, it’s awesome 👌👌👌
Great car the mk1 tt, but you need to be small to fit in them. I had an imaculate V6 a few years ago, drove it for a bit then decided to break it for parts and keep the engine to put into a 2002 caddy van.
Hi Harry, not sure about the size issue, I'm 6-2 and find the driving position spot on.
@@stuarthall6530 yep, im 6,2 also and fit in with room to spare.
Same here. I’m 6.1 and have no problems with head room.
Miss mine best 11K I've ever spent
Amazing how much these are rising in value now ... the original 800 is dwindling as they get broken or written off ... will become a very rare car one day ....
I'm interested to know your opinion between the differences in drive between this and the 3.6 V6? You never seemed to complete that thought in your video, leaving off saying the drives were different and that you rated the V6 more as a cruiser? ....
Andrew ,cracking looking car in that colour. good to reminisce. Looks great in the sunshine. Good video for an old bugger like me.
You like your sports cars don't you! It isn't a Boxster rival, it sits somewhere between a hot hatch and proper sports car, it gives you the sleek looks of a sports car but the practicality (sort of) of a hot hatch and simple/cheap maintenance. And AWD which was unheard of in that sector at the time.
Hi Andrew, I have the same car in blue too. Where did you get the steering wheel retrimmed?
That's a long story Peter! I bought a TT qS and owner said he's paid for a retrim on the wheel but it had to be sent to Poland! I wanted to sell that car quickly so fitted the wheel from mine and sold it. Then I sent that car's wheel off to Poland and waited and waited (and waited!) and literally the afternoon before an important track day I wanted to attend it came back. Luckily it was perfect but sadly I can't recall anything else. There are no doubt some stressed emails way down my inbox somewhere! Chances are it was via ebay. Must find someone in UK who is as good as for what they cost wheel retrims are awesome value. Royal Steering Wheels are a name that pops up a lot.
I had one of these when they came out, (in black). I loved it, but my then girlfriend, hated the bucket seats...
Hey Tom, my wife hates those seats too!
would like to ask the question..... I own a misano red..... i would like to find out the build number of the car......alot of people say its the last 4 digits on the VIN number...... only 800 imported? mine says 1114 on the VIN......can anybody shed any light on this please..... thank you
Lovely looking car...A modern day classic.
Indeed David 🙌🏻
One video for every day 😊 Great car, love this TT👍
Thanks NK👍
Love the sport
Beautiful car
what are these rims called?
Brilliant
Hi, great content, can do a buyers guide to these cars please ?
In the pipeline. I did a 10 page guide for Audi Driver mag a few years ago so could be a long one. Just need a car 👍
If this ever comes up for sale, I'll be looking for it, can't find a Mauritius blue quattro sport to save my life.
U have legend
10k,so appear to be appreciating
I had no idea a Sport model existed before this video. My brother had a 225 coupe for many years and while it’s looks weren’t to my taste, it was a nice drive. I approve of the H&R Cup kit having run the same on my E30 325i. I thought it was an excellent ‘fast road’ setup.
If you liked the drive of the 225 you'd love the quattro Sport (and hopefully you like the looks a bit more too..?)
Hows the steering feel and chassis balance (especially on track?) Do really like the look of these but put off by horror stories of nothing but understeer and numb steering
TBH with those tyres it just gripped and gripped and gripped as you can see from the track video. Very different to the remapped Edition 30 I tracked next though that too was way better on track tyres. Steering feel is not great but watching the track footage back I think because it was so grippy there was huge window between grip and slip, so easy to avoid understeer, you can here the tyres squealing but far from washing out.
What can these be mapped to as standard??
265 with just a map
Have a mk1 tt roadster quattro, with an ABT tuning pack on, running 250bhp
Beautiful car you have! I own one in red and black, has the comfort seats, love driving it, something different. Great review👍
Thanks! Enjoy your car, comfort or buckets its still a wonderful thing 👍
Can you make a video about gen 3 TT “what to watch out when buying”?
4 regrets. No4 selling mine when I could have kept it....i still have a mint in box front alloy.
The rim should be diamond cut.
WANT WANT WANT!
I have a 225 in glacier blue metallic. Awesome cars. Look so great in right color specs, like yours.
Nice colour, quite rare, 2002 only I think?
@@volkswizardYess, quite rare, i believe 2002 is the year some new colors were introduced. Mine is a 2004 car.
Seeing this makes me miss mine 7 yrs ownership should’ve kept and mothballed. Hey ho
Not too late to buy another Robin
volkswizard left mine standard apart from the brake pads as yours and also had the defcon arb mod. Which really focused the steering feel. One day perhaps. 👍
Can you do a video on a TT RS whenever you got one? Thanks!
Another Belter Mr.VAG! 👍🏻My Mother actually had one of the first out but went for the comfort seats much to my dismay! Nonetheless it was sneaked out for the odd thrashing here and there! 😁Was traded in for a TTS when that came out.
I never know how to take being called Mr.VAG 😁 Glad you enjoyed, your mum must be cool (even with comfort seats). TTS is good and on paper superior but but but .....😉
@@volkswizard For sure.. I like how the QS has held its value well. Between a few of us we had loads of MK1's, 2 were heavily modded , R-Tech and MTM. Very fun cars! Miss those days.
A mate has bought a QS recently mk4 r32 brake upgrade incoming. :D
Had no idea this version existed
Glad to be of service 😁
Same colour as my qs..Been my daily for five years now..
Nice one Brian, which seats have you got?
@@volkswizard Got the Recaro seats i find them easy to get in and out now after 5 years. I have to help my passengers out from time to time.
@@volkswizard I have problem when on full lock it sounds as if is catching somewhere on front end but been into Audi and an independent garage had new springs and shocks had wheels alignment done but still the same. Any ideas?
Why would you fit TOYO ditch finders on any car? Ok the 888R's might be ok on a dry track but no where else. Michelin is the only viable tyre option. Spend the money, the tyres WILL last longer and take more abuse and provide more grip in EVERY weather condition, compared to any other make. If you really love your car, buy Michelin.
225 is the best one
LOL FML.....
You aren't the first and won't be the last 😁
@@volkswizard Haha you noticed it too. :-)
Never heard of this model but must be better than the 250hp 3.2.......
Yes it's way better than the 3.2 That was a funny car, softened up to be a cruiser, wallowy high riding suspension. It's OK don't get me wrong but this was a TT for drivers for the first time
Sounds like a turbo trabant..... dog shit nice seats but that’s it
Why do you put fake plates on car then go drive on public roads?? This car isn’t even registered so not Road legal
Maybe, just maybe, since the video was made over 2 years ago and the car has now been sold, it's now on a personal registration number?
Crap cars
You must think Renaults and Fords are better huh 🤣
