    Basic remap on the 1.8t will see the same power output as this modded v6, but without the heavy v6 lump + for a lower cost + you get the fun of the turbo.

      Maybe but you don't get the great gearbox, sound, bodykit and re-sell value.

      @@boutch3r Agreed that it's a matter of choice/personal preference, But I love the sound of a turbo, and massively prefer a regular gearbox over DSG.
      There sure is something cool about nursing the weight in the nose of a V6 TT around the bends, but for me I just prefer the more balanced weight and forced induction.
      3.2 Turbo though? ok... Yeah you've got me there. I'd ditch the 4pot instantly.

      @@boutch3r Yeah i kinda agree, I used to own a MK1 Toyota MR2 - which I swapped to a 4AGZE (1.6 Supercharged) then ended up converting to a 4AGTE - turbo using a GT28R, that car felt and drove like a track car, and unsuprisingly I have a 1.8t TT running around 270bhp, mostly because it was the best value for money vs power, and atleast it's not FWD only, I miss my RWD - alot. the TT is a decent car around the bends, but simply can't compete with lighter alternatives. My 1.8T is a nice looking golf too - but with more power than it should have :) even the 1.8 is a heavy ass car, the mr2 with a cheap weight reduction barely touches a ton! - pity that 95% of them are made of rust these days!

    Had a MK2 TT V6 cabrio, I’ve herd they are much more modern to drive than the MK1. Was a nice car but boring to drive, felt heavy, numb steering, the brakes weren’t great and 24mpg average. The sportronic gearbox was awesome though. Sold it after 4 months and bought a £400 Ford Puma 1.7. This little thing I adored. If you could get into a non rotten one in a future vid I think you would be impressed. Just feels SO right, steering, gearbox, pedal feel, throttle response, revvy but torquey (for its size) engine. The brakes were ok but some 2.0 mondeo disks and callipers - big brake kit for £100.

I believe they are mostly aluminium so rusting isn't a problem .the engines are long lasting and very sporty .inside the dash board is a work of art ..and the seats are a high gauge of leather with heating controls . The rear seats are not a lot of use but still nice .but fold them down the boot becomes huge . A tremendous car that are not greatly expensive .find yourself a nice one you will not be sorry .

    I follow your reviews and like them. Very excited to see a TT on here as I have a roadster. It has been copied to the MK1 TT Facebook forum and created a bit of a buzz.
    Some points to note though. Most car enthusiasts have chosen 225 over the V6 because they like to play. The 225 can reach 300bhp with a map and some minor mods. Hopefully someone can get you a drive in that and put a bigger smile on your face.
    Also with 5k budget one would get the lighter 225 and give it a Porsche brake kit, suspension mods, map etc and get well over 300 bhp rather than heavier v6. Finally the mx5 in real world use doesn't compare. We both live towards Norfolk way and know overtaking power is important. The TT has this and can be a daily a tourer or track slag.
    The blue haldex sends power to the rear faster decreasing under steer and in theory making it AWD more often than standard.
    Keep up the great work and looking forward to more!!

    I had a 54 plate TT 3.2 the same colour as that one and the paperwork called it Solar Orange. Papaya was also available but it was more of a pastel pinky orange. My TT had loads of problems, was always breaking, didn’t turn in well, rode like a tea tray in a quarry but was the only car I’ve ever driven that became part of the family. It was highly idiosyncratic and we were heartbroken when the DSG failed at 67k with a 5k repair bill that we couldn’t afford. Later I drove the mk2 3.2 and it lacked all the personality of the mk1 but had better turn in. David has been very lucky with his and it may be that Audi “helped” with the gearbox cost because that first DSG was notorious for failing. When it worked it was a joy though. Unfortunately the individual interior of the mk1 was the last TT that you could sit in and know it was a TT and not any other Audi.

    If I were to buy one it would probably be the QS240 for the overall feel and experience. But between a modded 125 and a stock 3.2 it's a tough decision. I've had a couple of 125's when they were new. But I've also had a succession of cars with the VR6 engine (never a TT though); two Golf's and a Corrado. It may be an old, heavy, low power engine as far as a V6 is concerned. But it has character and a wonderful engine note. The Corrado 2.9 VR6 is an absolute blast and I supect the more modern 3.2 VR6 in the TT would be even better.

    Great nerdy research Jay - yes the TTV6 was the first twin-clutch “auto” car in the UK, closely followed by Golf Tdi’s, oddly enough. It was good for around 275lbs of torque, so marginal in the TT V6. Oddly, Audi then sold the tech to then-rival Porsche who developed it into “PDK”, thus eliminating the TT’s one big advantage over the Boxster.

    I imagine people are looking at buying these, I had a 2004 1.8T, purchased with 130k miles for $5,000 USD. I immediately had to replace the secondary water pump but after 4 years and almost 50k miles the oil pump died and I sold it.
    Plenty fun and reliable and still available for cheap! Just find one that was serviced regularly.

    Mk1 vr6 TT are 237bhp same power as the Mk1 r32 . Power was raised a little for the Mk2 to 247bhp. The most powerful MK1 TT is the Quattro Sport 240. Also brakes are 2 piston, hence why owners opt for the Mk1 Leon Cupra R 4 pots.

  • @tim1polman
    @tim1polman 4 года назад +1

    Not a fan f the sound you get in the exhaust due to the DSG shifts. Acoustically I really do prefer a manual, even if it is slower. The exaust on the r32 sounds really really cool.
    Because of the narrow V angle you get this odd 'assymetrical' sound. I think the 12v VR6's sound even better than the 24v ones. the 12v is a bit more barritone, less raspy. they 'sing' a bit more.
    Also,.. I'd love to have a track like that to myself for a day. :D

      I'm a 350z owner so might be biased but the 350 has Brembo's, a LSD, better seats, 313hp, better reliability and aluminium suspension components. The chassis is on the heavy side for a track car but it's very stiff and pretty predictable. It was designed to beat/undercut porcshe boxters.
      A 330Ci was designed to compete with a ford mondeo and has none of the above lol It will cost you a bomb in maintenance with reliability issues, is down about 90hp and the rear subframe is most likely about to fall apart. An s2000 would be a be a better platform again than a 350z but decent examples are becoming rare.... Just one mans opinion though lol

    They make good track cars, the lap times are always surprisingly good but they're not fun to drive but they make great progress at speed.
    I guarantee that your average driver gets a better lap time out of a TT than a Boxster of the same year.
    In the hands of a professional though forget it, the Boxster is obviously quicker, but 99.99% of people arent professional racing drivers, but 99.99% of car enthusiasts think they are 😂

    Interesting video but a bit unfair comparing a stock 225 with a modded V6. The TT was always a nearly, nearly sports coupe with too much weight to really cut it but nothing that a few mods couldn't sort out. I've owned both (in coupe) form and eventually ended up modding them both and I agree that the 225 was more fun (admittedly the 225 had the potential for much higher power mods too) but felt more track day(ish).
    On balance my personal choice would have to be the V6 which was almost as much fun to drive but was blessed with a much much better soundtrack (mine was fitted with a Blueflame but if you really want the ultimate noise/smile ratio check out the youtube links to an Edel exhaust). I couldn't help my drive outs including a blat through a tunnel or two to really soak up the exhaust note. Now very depressed about getting rid of both and would buy one again in a heartbeat if I had the funds.
