TTChris

Thanks Steve,

I've found a place that does replacement clusters so will get that done.

Small ask , but does anyone know a good design cup holder for the TT ?

hi folks,

Thought I'd hop onto this thread to save over populating the section.

Just picked up a TT that is 2002, 114k miles . lovely to drive

I'd like to stay on top of it maintenance wise, so at the min I'd like to sort out the fuel gauge , it's very all over the place. digital and analogue.

Am I right in thinking it's the fuel sensor ? And what sort of job is it for a garage to sort ?

Advice welcome

Thanks bud, 

yes it's such a taught car in it's feel .

The A6 was like a lovely boat.

I'll post up some stuff in the TT section from here on

Thanks for the kind words and advice

No Worries steve, 

the pics were all good, but they hid the nasty bits !

This is my new ride, must admit i was really sad driving the A6 up to be Pxd (got £350 for it againts the TT which was 1495)

But, this little rocket is fun !  Kids love it too.

I'll prob post up some thoughts and questions in the TT section of the forum, so i dont spam this bit

Thanks 

Well, update, went to actually view the car, utter crate !

front bumper was taped on at some points and had big gaps at either side, wheelarch had a rust hole right through the outer skin,

it was really scruffy and dirty inside, refund of deposit now promised.

meanwhile, i've just bought this

I realise that A6s for around 1k are all very rough.  maybe I can get one in  year or so when funds are better.

I got £345 for my very poorly A6 against this TT - i was lucky that the various warning lights chose not to show that day !

Tips for the TT ?        cam belt need doing ?  drives well , so funny being in it compared to the A6, like driving a snorkel jacket with the hood zipped right up

Lovely, thanks . Ironically, my A6 brake light warning has gone again, but I'm sure I have excess pedal travel, so it is time to get rid.

I might offer it up for sale

grew up in wigston and narborough, then lived in countersthorpe until 2005.

Thanks for the tips. I'll give it a test when i'm back from hols

You're welcome :) 

It does look good, and appears to have been well looked after :) I say this as the buttons for the climate air-conditioning look good and the lacquer hasn't peeled off which is a common trait of these. As it has the climate air con, make sure it works as it'll be expensive to fix if it's not working.

It's also got the sports seats and 3 spoke sports steering wheel, which may have been optional extras. I know they were an optional extra on my car. You'll notice there are 2 buttons on the steering wheel, these are to shift gears. 

Make sure the gear changes are smooth both in manual and auto modes as problems can be expensive to fix. 

I've also noticed that the cupholder has the front missing, it might be worth asking the garage if they can fit your existing a6 cupholder to the newer purchase :) 

Ah nice! Which part of Leicester did you live?

Ah thanks Steve , I'll post up some pics when I take them later.

It has an ABS fault so estimates are at 1k

plus the clutch has been going for years (i dont do high miles anymore)

Radiator has a leak too.

The 2.7 is an auto tiptronic

not driven a turbo before, should it make very little noise ?

Thanks again for the input. 

Hey, i just noticed you are from Leicester.

I grew up there . left in 2005 

Hi folks, I'm new to the forum, 

My 18 year old A6 quattro has finally got to the end of its life, and I'm looking to get another 

I've found one that has 149000 miles on it, its £1295, looks in good nick from the photos.  Is it likely to be good for another 30odd k ? I do very little mileage 

Any thoughts welcome
