A Buyer’s Guide to Used Audi TTs
This guide provides valuable information for those considering purchasing a used Audi TT. The TT arrived in the United States in 1999 and has undergone three major iterations since then, each with significant styling and performance changes.
Key Points to Consider
Regular service of the timing belt and associated parts is crucial to avoid costly repairs. The timing belt should be replaced at 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. Additionally, check that all dash gauges and the driver alert screen are functioning properly.
The first TTs were available in FWD and Quattro trims, with the latter offering improved handling and performance. The 180 HP engine was available in both trims, while the 225 HP engine was only available in the Quattro trim.
Later models introduced the DSG dual-clutch automatic transmission and a 3.2L 6-cylinder engine. The 3.2L engine was mated to the DSG transmission and offered improved performance.
When considering purchasing a used Audi TT, it is essential to inspect the vehicle thoroughly, paying attention to the condition of the exterior and interior, as well as the performance of the engine and transmission. It is also recommended to seek guidance from a reputable mechanic or Audi enthusiast community.
