These diesel engines are powerful, with a lot of torque. [nt]

Audi TT. An old love of mine.
Among all the cars I had, there are some which I deeply regret, or, if you prefer, I have fond memories of... Such as the Audi TT. I had the first generation, the 1,8 180 HP. I tried it and the 225 HP version, and I found the 180 HP more living and funnie...
A love of mine too...
Although I never owned one. That very 3.2 in orange is the first one I drove and loved it. A friend recently got a TT-RS and got me wanting one. ...
The only thing that's keeping from...
Getting an RS is the lack of a manual transmission.
I have a magical 5-Cylinder engine in my 1987 Audi 90 quattro
which of course has manual transmission and only 14K miles from new ...
Arrrggghhhh! I miss mine, too!
Mine was Dolomite Gray. I loved the hell out of that car. I like the new TTs but not quite the same as the first generation. This post made my day, Nicholas! All the best, respo ...
Yes we do share many similar tastes, my friend, and that makes me smile
If you do get another TT, I would be so excited for you. I have thought to do the same many times.
I think they ruined its looks with the "update" ...
... that became necessary after the first lawsuits were filed against Audi and included the weird spoiler, ruining the hitherto sexy rear. Marcus
Yes, lawsuits which were really weird... I guess that with many other cars, if you abruptly turn the steering wheel at full speed, the outcome will be the same.
I opted for bigger anti roll bars, but no rear spoiler for me. Best, Nicolas
In the US they do offer a spoiler delete option...
But, you do get a retractable one. ...
That’s a memory.
I had the 3.2 250bhp Quattro. Also black! An unmistakable design, the first time I saw one it was like nothing else on the road. Pretty sure there are no picture of it as it was before I owned an iPhone!
Such a cool car!
I had the 3rd generation model for three years. The interior was something special as well with the digital instrument panel, the air vents and other details. Miss that cool little car. Claus ...
A modern design classic ...
I have a friend with a 3.2 that has only done 18,000 Kms. ! Sounds great 👍
I believe it is a blast to drive. 👍
Enjoyable to the max. I understand where your coming from. Cheers 🍻, my friend. Geross
Love my Quattro TT
Its getting on a bit now, and a recent search for a new(er) car didn’t inspire at all. So I got this one chipped - 15% BHP and 40% torque - the latter really kicks and deploys where it matters on twisty country roads. I have a new car 🙂 ...
Chip express - torque max
Did better than advertised on a rolling road test at 480NM. I’m going through tyres quickly and the 4WD wheel slip compensator sensor flickers a lot more.
Now away from my Audi 90, here is my 2005 TT quattro Sport
also manual and of course the only TT built in Germany by quattro GmbH, rear seat delete, battery in boot, engine uprated etc. This car has only 5K miles... ...
Some information here...
www.motoringresearch.com was availabe in Avus Silver, Misano Red, Phantom Black (same as the roof colour) and Mauritius Blue and Silver all with black roof and spoiler www.ultimatecarpage.com
I have owned one for 15 years.
Sadly not driven much these days since I bought my 1M. It’s black. 225 quattro. Parked in a garage. Need to probably sell it!! Interested Nicholas???
MkII 1.8 tfsi...
...in Oolong gray. I love it, it's a great little car. Not a sports car with this little engine more like a mini-GT. The handling is nice. TT's are practical too. I can still, just, squeeze my kids into the back without complaint.
