I drove the nurburgring for the first time this week and was blown away by the whole town of nurburg, truly an amazing place. I stopped by apex hoping to see you there but missed you, no problem, drove a golf gti through nurblife and had the most fun I think I've ever had, can't wait to come back for round 2. You are truly an inspiration!
Been waiting for this one. Bryn's advice and videos on the MK1 has saved me a fair amount of money on garage labour. Can't beat a MK1 TT for an honest salary sports car!
I was waiting it 3 weeks or something like that! This guy made me save a lot of money in my TT. He´s a beast doing the job. Great Misha, greetings from spain
Btw, im on my 2nd TT 225, and have broken so many coils and airmass sensors,, with the coil problem, when building new engine and alot of research and advices from people who built these engines for racetrack purpose found out the voltage harness delivers too low V to the coilpacks and that will break them, i fixed that on mine, have colder plugs BKR7 and ACCEL high performance coils, no issue at all after 2 years and 400bhp with ethanol. Ive tried NGK, BERU and R8/2.0T coils,, the accel ones are mint! To the other case about the Airmass, one of the best most advised airfilter you can use is from AEM, foam or other kinds will reck the sensor, ive broken like 8-10 airmass sensors, after AEM swap never.. So have fun, stay safe, awesome driving from Misha and good to see ye had fun with the ol gal :D
Nice to see one of these driven hard, as an old MkIV GTI 20v owner and fan, the TT platform was the next step up and hearing a 20v working hard was a fun nostalgia trip. Power loss almost certainly heat soak, they were quite susceptible to it when driven hard without a lot of cooling upgrades, particularly the intercoolers. This would've had the dual side intercooler setup from the factory, which is very good, but would be hitting its limits with a tune halfway into a nurburgring lap I'm sure.
8:03 insane braking and skills! The best thing about driving an older car like this, is having things go wrong and fixing the weakest link.. so it only gets more and more reliable and all the old faulty parts are replaced.
As a long time mk1 TT owner I was so happy to see this. Amazed to see it stonking up to 140 at a couple points. Def need a “RING” spec upgrade with bigger IC and R8 coil packs but brilliant lap, looked pretty neutral at times. Lots of capabilities buried in that car. They sell for silly money in UK, every one should be building a track toy out of them .
@@BWSTT I'm suprised people still haven't figured this out. If you really like red you could just aswell get V6 A4 coilpacks, they are the same fitment as 1.8t.
@@BWSTT well i don't actually know that , everone here in Greece who has a tuned 20vt car use red ones instead of stock... (Skoda octavia RS 20vt 1.8t turned to 2.0l via wisseco pistons, 400hp )
@@m0rb1d43 it is all about reliability , our car mechanics say NGK R8 RED , we use them... If some5hing happens we throw the coil pack to its head haha
Dat is goed voorbereid op pad gaan, weten wat er kapot kan gaan en die onderdelen meenemen zodat je dag(en), weekend niet verpest worden door auto pech.
IDK what it was when these were first released, but i wanted one so bad 😅 Still a cool looking little car, wouldn't mind one of these first gens with the 2nd gen RS's I5 👌
Not a T(F)SI and still, any time is coil nom nom time. It's always good to have a look at those misfire counters in live data before entering the track.
Год назад+3
So, something weird is happening with the car, check engine light comes on but Misha keeps flooring it. Lol 🤣👍🤘
It's sad they discontinued the TT... such a cool timeless design. I loved it when it was introduced and still do today. Audi makes very bland cars these days.
Out of curiosity, is the car underperforming on the straights? I had around 270hp aswell on my A3 when I still had stock turbo and I feel like it pulled a bit harder then the TT is managing, regardless beautiful car and great build 👌
in my experience when you heatsoak a 1.8T, you're gonna experience 10-20% power loss depending on ambients and how hard you keep pushing it. I think they were probably down 30 HP or so by the end of that, most of which became apparent by the halfway point.
I'm a bit surprised those coil packs weren't upgraded with the increase in power. Got to give Audi credit, their updated coil packs are used in about every modified platform. But they're better than the ones he had.
Do you want more engine gains but can’t justify the expense of rebuilding a good engine? Simply apply new Misha 6000, one simple 7-9 minute application will ensure you can justify a full rebuild and upgrade!
down on power for sure. Only doing 180'ish on the uphill straight, without traffic and with Misha behind the wheel, I'd guess around 230-240hp max at best. Cool owner tho
misha is rev matching while downshifting and braking at the same time. this driving technique is known as 'heel toe' and even though its really only beneficial in racing, it can be done driving on the street for some added fun
Thats the risk on the ring, there’s not many places to just pull over safely. Misha knows a thing or 2 about cars, i know the TT very well, We knew that off load it was ok, so it was fine to limp it to the exit, and then drive to Lindner Ferienpark off load to sort it in a safe location. Dont get me wrong, if we had seen the red oil pressure light of doom, i would have told him to switch off and coast, but other that that most issues don’t require an immediate stop
Thanks Misha for an amazing experience! Definitely the highlight of my trip, next time ill bring 8 spare coilpacks just incase!
What a credit to the uk.Had spare coil pack and even had foot camera covered after falling off 🫡 legend 😂

buy the red R8 or the yellow DTM and you won't change them again .

ok that feet cam rescue - that is great stuff from the owner, what a true petrol head
Haha cheers, i was determined to keep the footage usable!
As an owner of an S3, i always keep a set of coil packs on my backpack jajaja.
Great vid and great gal too!.
I love that improvised foot cam 😂
The coil pack failure is a common issue? 🤔😅
Coil packs on 1.8t engines are always a weak point, some (myself included) run the R8 coil packs for better reliability, but even they fail sometimes
Kind of yeah, anyways it's a general issue on smaller turbo engines they're very solicited.
Yes, they tend to go bad under high stress, there are a few kits that retrofit the updated red top coil packs (r8) to help alleviate the issue.

12:36 that overtake was pretty nuts! Shows you know every inch of the track
box van guy was a moron for not checking his mirrors
Another plus of stripped interior means the passenger can see (and still record!) your pedals while you drive :)
Ive seen so many videos where they and up holding the foot cam, and was determined to try and keep the footage coming!

Love these budget builds.
i know it sounds dumb but i fell in love with this car playing nfs2 instead of 350z and skyline. great content, great looking car
Homie is the definition of perseverance. Cool replacement in the middle of the lap AND improvised the foot cam… hats off to this dude

Egts by that point i think

power loss because of temperature is what they thought it was.
It was high EGTs by that point, on my laps it pulled well on the back uphill section, but i hadnt been pushing it as hard upto that point
in my experience when you heatsoak a 1.8T, you're gonna experience 10-20% power loss depending on ambients and how hard you keep pushing it. I think they were probably down 30 HP or so by the end of that, most of which became apparent by the halfway point.

Misha you have to get your hands on the Alpine A110R…
Just watched Bryn's video. Here for this one now :D
flying! quality camera pass and bws understood the assignment 😂 my TT is my daily driver, not like this though! top lap!

That Porche flew by at 7m30,and disappeared in 30 sec, wow
Got a wiring or conection issue some where could see the egine light flickering when hiting bumps.
great man, thx for the vid
We got the rare SHIFTER CAM🔥😈
don't worry, its a normal Audi TT thing. They do it all the time
If you mean: eat coilpacks, be surprisingly quick, and heatsoak: yes.
Excellent lap misha, you did well with the classic bit of English bird shit on the windscreen 👌🤣
Will we ever get a video on the Dacia Logan crash?
What is the honest opinion on these cars for track usage ? They are fairly cheap..
code brown with that van........
Great fun to watch. 👍
down on power for sure. Only doing 180'ish on the uphill straight, without traffic and with Misha behind the wheel, I'd guess around 230-240hp max at best. Cool owner tho
Thanks 😊 it was suffering from high EGTs at that point
Hervorragend, hilft immer beim Stempeln eines Kabelbaums :)

Nice your control... Foot cool
Brilliant!
Nice Video!
What broke was the coils or the turbo?
Misha, are you doing actual taxi laps this year?
Good video
That car brought out your big send energy
Is this front wheel drive or all wheel drive?
S3 8l is a little better chassis. Haldex makes it weird when you chase it on the turns. By the way, what shoes are those?
Chassis itself is identical
@@BWSTT Yes i know. I meant as an overall car. I like both the 8l and the 8n tho
The s3 is definitely more practical
one thing to note is the wheelbase, 8n is a lil shorter
The shoes misha was wearing? Adidas Daytona’s, lots of Porsche cup drivers wear them. If that’s what you meant lol.
Ha ha, saw the car and I thought coil packs before I even watched the video.
Misha could you do a pickup truck on nurburgring
Why are you stepping gas pedal when downshifting?
