TT Gotchas?

I'm planning on buying a used TT within the next few months. I
want the coupe, 225HP, Quatro.

Is there anything specific I should be watching out for?

MY TT IS SWEET EXCEPT FOR A FEW THINGS 1 THE GEAR SHIFT DONT WORK AND B. IF
YOU DRIVE IT FOR VERY LONG THE ENGINE HEATS UP AND IT SMELLS REAL BAD BUT
OTHER THAN THAT ITS A SICK RIDE

Apart from the usual accident damage, and general neglect some
owners seem to display - one of the important issues are a
compete service history. The other is to ensure that ONLY the
correct specification of VW approved fully synthetic oil has been
used.

Ignore what Gerky Gatzoz has to say. He is a spammer that has haunted
this newsgroup for awhile. Ignore him.

I've been driving Audis for more than 20 years and everyone I have
owned has served me wonderfully. There are several TTs in the club I
belong to and all are happy with their cars.

Watch out for the cops, and the speeding tickets will take care
of themselves.

It does, thank you. I hear of a sludge issue with the 1.8T. How
does one go about discovering if an engine has it?

Yeah, that was pretty obvious. I've been lurking here for a
while.

I'll probably start looking in earnest come January, unless some
killer deal just jumps out and grabs me by the face.

If you are going to buy from a dealer mid December is a good time as they
will be doing bugger all other business and may be more desperate for a sale

It's a good strategy generally, but around here the Audi dealers
have a Take It or Leave It attitude. Now if I wanted a Miata . .
