The Audi tt 3.2 vr6 was basically the "RS" version of the TT back on the old days
Until they came out with the tts in 2008 and ttrs in 2009

Great video Kam! definitely going to do this on my car asap!

[@ivanvega2821]

Great video! maybe maybe I missed it, is the 3.2 process similar to the 3.6 vr6?? I have a 2018 Passat GT and want to get square away before tackling this.

[@Kamshaft]

I really Couldent tell you tbh! It’s probably different

[@SalilGandhi]

what kind of grease are you using on the o-rings? 100% silicone grease?

[@bartek0308]

hi, is it possible to replace the thermostat itself without removing the housing? what's your exhaust system? sounds brilliant :)

[@Kamshaft]

No it is not possible, full straight pipe aside from cats.

[@robertmonaghan9427]

Great video ,thank you. Can I ask how long this took to do please?

[@Kamshaft]

3-4 hours

[@Kamshaft]

But if I had known the things that are in this video would only take 2-3hrs

[@robertmonaghan9427]

Thank you

Hey brother, I got a 2004 Audi TT 3.2L and in search of the upper radiator hose. I can’t find it anywhere..Do you know where to find it? Or any other car that has the same part?

Hi Jaimen

[@saifhennawi1960]

Hi J Man!

[@waynewilliams3650]

what's your exhaust system on the tt i want one

[@Kamshaft]

Straight pipe! He still had cats.

[@venicesaint1500]

What problems did they circle 4x🤔🤔? Confused

[@Kamshaft]

The Audi itself is the problem, 4 circles is the logo.

[@Chorochronchotor]

@@Kamshaft Well, most cars are like this. Audi is honest enough to admit it in their logo :D Volkswagen is a very honest group, Skoda for instance literary means damage and (or) pity in Czech :D
