Things to Look Out for When Buying a Used Mk1 TT
When buying a used Mk1 TT, it’s important to check the timing belt and its associated parts, as well as the proper operation of all the dash gauges and the driver alert screen. The timing belt should be replaced every 5 years or 60,000 miles, whichever comes first. It’s also a good idea to inspect the tensioner and water pump for signs of wear or damage.
