I have a 2002 TT. My stock headlights (halogen I assume) are also terrible. Did you upgrade yours with HID xenon bulbs? Did it require additional parts (ballast, igniter, etc.)? Please write directly...

I'm thinking of a headlight upgrade...

My front low beams are weak. Already buffed / polished lens. Would installing new stock 35W xenon HID bulb improve things? Has anyone tried a 55W kit like XenonHIDS.com with ballast and wiring? ...

Suspension springs

Do stock 2002 TTs have "standard" or "sport" springs? A lot of aftermarket (H&R, Eibach) springs offer 1" - 1.6" lowering, but I'm happy with stock.
I replaced all of them in 2011 (3 out of 4 were...

How long before Takata air bags replaced?

I was notified by Audi that the front passenger side airbag will be replaced in April 2016 and am still waiting. Anyone have any knowledge how much longer this will take?

With a little TLC my Audis have lasted for 200,000 miles

Unless you abuse them (rough roads, avoiding maintenance, etc.) they are built to last. I have bought 4 used Audis, all coming off 3 year leases, and I sold 2 with 170,00-210,00 miles and the other...

Agreed!!!

I will not get new TT until offered with manual! If I drove in heavy rush hour traffic I might feel differently. Faster shifting does not mean more fahrvernuggen!

It's not about how fast you can shift, it's about fahrvergnugen, driving pleasure. The only way I'd consider DSG was if I had to drive in top-and-go traffic all the time, and I don't!

Please clarify serpentine belt questions...

As others have said, Audi changed the recommended timing belt interval from 75,000 to 110,000 miles. I know many posters recommend keeping the original 75,000 mile interval.
Is there a recommended...

Touch-up paint for Audi roof rack???

The black paint on my Audi ('02 TTq 225) roof rack has come off in places. The paint feels "rubberized." Any suggestions for the right touch-up paint?

Three springs failed?!?!

I heard a clunking noise and was told 3 of 4 springs had failed on my 2002 TT q 225. I am flabbergasted. Could living in New England and keeping the car outside be part of the explanation? BTW all...

Clutch questions....

I've never had to replace a clutch (my old 1990 90q20v with 200,000 miles and 1998 A4 2.8qm with 170,000 miles never needed one) but seems like I'll need one at 70,000 miles. This is very strange,...

Revised Question: B7 (2008) stock suspension versus previous models?

I see that this B8 forum is marked 2008- but 2009 was the first B8 model. Still curious how "stiff" the B7 stock susp is versus previous stock or sport suspension.

Is the B8 (2008 on) suspension stiffer than previous models?

I'm considering a used 2008 A4 2.0tqm with stock suspension but I am used to a B5 A4qm with sport suspension. I'm looking for a firm tight ride, not for track. Thanks for all helpful comments.

Won't installing a catless downpipe emit hydrocarbons and other nasty pollutants that all of us will breathe? Are you being foolish, selfish, or am I missing something here?

That's what I expected.......

Now I need part numbers (std and sport springs) to prove it! Are the painted marks on the springs (3 strokes if I remember correctly) different colors?
