The Audi RS with a 5 cylinder engine is already a modern classic and with the chance of a 5 Cylinder Turbo RS car looking unlikely to ever appear again this is almost certain to become a future a classic. - Auta a dopravní prostředky

A fault I've found with the TT is a smug sense of self-satisfaction: something to watch for when purchasing.
Nice video. Worth a thumbs up.
Owning a 2016 Audi TT with the 230hp engine tuned to 350bhp at stage 2 I can say its a great package with good fuel economy. But agree on all points service intervals should be shortened as i change my oil every 5000 km and inspect things more regularly. Wanting to upgrade to TTRS soon.
Not to mention another issue these cars can face on Quattro models if an owner can here a bit of quattro rumble from the rear or excessive tyre slip they may want to service the haldex system and disregard the OEM service intervals for it. That little metallic mesh filter can become blocked reducing oil flow to the system.
I’ve owned a 2 MK2’s and had my MK3 for 5 years now! it’s been the longest car I’ve ever owned it’s been reliable and fun. I wish there was an MK4!
How many miles does your mk3 have ?
@@mohammedshehzaan9919my MK3 has 46k on it. My old MK2 had 125k on it before I sold it.
Awesomely informative 10/10
We really appreciate feedback like this 👍
Been to look and test drive a mk3 TDI s line ultra in black. It was gorgeous, I’m on the verge of going back to buy. I currently have a Mk1 225 Quattro which I’ve owned for 20 years as a 2nd car.
Got a 1.8 Mk3 and so far, touch wood, it's been pretty much fault less. Only major issue I've had is a water pump replacement. Remapped to 265hp and 300nm, with other modifications, and no dramas.
I am lucky enough to have owned a TT 2.0lt Quattro and now a 2.5lt TTRS Roadster.
Problems consist of thermostat housing, super sports seats side panels breaking, sliding ash tray breaking off in your hand, fuel cap either stuck shut or won’t shut, rear numberplate light water ingress which has to be replaced at £120, creaking roof in the roadster but wouldn’t swap it for anything!
Does the number plate light wire just unplug ? Is it a DIY job?
I came from owning Mercedes cars for over 19 years to a very low mileage December 2016 Mk3 TTs which I’ve now owned since February 22.
Other than the lack of the bells & whistles spec that I got use to with Mercedes, I have to say the power under my right foot is absolutely incredible..
I’ve covered just over 13k & although I didn’t buy it for it’s frugality, on a recent long motorway journey & mostly in cruise control I was getting near 40 mpg..
I think the only downside was the fact it didn’t come with front parking sensors, but I had these fitted at a VAG Retrofit for around £700.
I did notice my driver seat back has started parting,but otherwise no issues whatsoever…
Because of the Covid years & the car being sat for that period of time I had a full service including a Haldex service for peace of mind & also the aircon recharge.
Just have to get my sav nav updated, as according to mine I live off road & live in a field!! 😂
The biggest gripe for me is the leaking roof liner. The water dripping into the side of the boot is appalling and should've been fixed from mark 2 to 3.
My TT has never dripped water. Try closing the hatchback it works
@ronrichardson3103 when you open the boot water that's been sitting goes straight into the boot. You gotta open the boot lid extremely slowly.
Is that model with no infotainment display a production model? That looks so good.
Yes 2015 and 2016 models if I remember right 👍
You do have the front screen, but no android auto or carplay before 2017.
You can get them retro fit though, it's just a software update
I can see Audi changing its mind about bringing out an electric tt... no one wants electric cars .so thats gonna be a dead duck. Makes sense to continue with the tt for a bit longer. I dont want to buy an electric car EVER .
