Hi am looking at buying a mk2 tt and just wondering on how much it normally costs for the like of new break tyres and shock absorbers just so I have a general idea of what am getting in for if and when these things need doing 

Hello Bradley,

Thanks for being in touch with the forum. 

Costs for tyres? Easily Googleable when you are armed with the tyre size, and decided what quality tyres you want - budget thought to premium brands.

Brakes? Are we talking discs as well as pads? Do you know the amount of remaining pads at the moment? 

For prices, simply search EBay, and you will find numerous examples of various quality parts, often including main dealer parts at discount. Only you will know whether you are going to replace these parts yourself or having the job done for you.

Shock absorbers? Normally long lived. Do you suspect the car/s you are looking at have issues with these?

Kind regards,

Gareth.
