I drove my dealers demo last week. Left all sorts of comments for the cameras.

All the demo's have cameras.... so I left a few choice intended seemingly unintentional remarks.

You got me thinking, so I sourced an audi tt 225 engine via local salvage yard.

used complete engine: $3,375 (extra for shipping if needed)

remanufactured complete engine $5,525 (extra for shipping if needed)


They could only locate a 2001 225 engine at that price.

Didn't mean to infer that you sold it, only that you limited your "scalp" to after-market mods.

But.... i'm still not surprised.

A complete engine replacement for $5k isn't bad. =)

I'm not too surprised - what % of the primary components did you wind up selling?

engine block, head, light assembly and suspension ??

heck... head alone is 2,500 US$ OOB

Maybe somebody who had a head-on who was looking to save money on parts.

Did they give you the...

Re: 2.0T and FWD - I have the same feeling in my FWD 180.

I bought a used FWD 180 for a couple of reasons, but I have noticed that FWD in the TT is a challenge. You can definately feel the difference when you're in a 4Motion TT.

My question would...

So, did your audi advocate take care of it, (your last post was "too bad, so sad" from AoA.

I thought that they told you "tough cheese" (paraphrased).

...owe more than 10k on the TT, sell it and buy the truck.

If you owe less than 10k and your TT is 2001 or newer, refinance it and buy a clunker truck instead ($2,500). You can still drive the...
