But when buying a Audi TT, should be clearly understood that this machine must be at least second in the family. Audi TT operate all year round rather difficult, because in winter sports coupe with a powerful engine does not razezdishsya.Kogda Audi TT just went on sale (first compartment was held in 1998), experts perceived the model with a certain degree of doubt. After all, lying at the heart of the TT platform Volkswagen Golf. In addition, it soon became clear that the Audi TT goes away is not the best. It was found that at high speed (more than 150-170 km / h) rear of the car enters! Because of this, there was even a few serious accidents. Guilty of this were not enough-designed aerodynamics and chassis design errors. Manufacture of Audi TT immediately suspended, revoked all cars sold. As a result, the chassis had been made major changes - there are new shock absorbers, stabilizer bar, levers. In addition, the car began to equip in the base system protivozanosnoy ESP (it's true, you can turn off), and a small wing on the trunk lid. As a result, Audi TT was just a great ride at high speeds and to give experienced drivers a lot of positive emotsiy.Hotya noted that part of CT do not buy for a high-speed driving, but because of the appearance and image of the car. And if you take the car only to impress others, then perhaps you should pay attention not on the coupe and roadster for a very stylish (it appeared in 1999). Audi TT Roadster in Russia quite a bit, but if you want to find a car you can. It has a folding fabric top (with electric), but you can order a hard rented kryshu.Audi TT is one of those cars that get into accidents more often than others, but in this case the machine in no way guilty. Just behind the wheel of Audi TT usually sit pretty hot heads. Therefore we must very carefully examine the box, check the descent / collapse, and so on. Also, look how close doors - side window (where it has no frame) should clearly include a rubber seal. The latter, in Russia it is recommended to periodically treat with silicone grease, and other glass in the cold can simply primerznut.Pochti all first-generation cars have 4-cylinder 1.8-liter turbo. From the very beginning of production this power plant gave 180 or 225 hp, depending on the version (not enough, there are versions 1.8-liter engine with 240 hp). In addition, since 2002, there were machines that are under the hood "only" 150 "horses", but they cost much cheaper than its more powerful brethren. But here we must say at once that 150 hp is enough for a small coupe. Well, if you buy a Audi TT solely to drive fast, you have no choice as to seek the most expensive Audi TT with a 3.2-liter V6 (250 hp). They appeared in 2003 and equipped with all-wheel drive and DSG gearbox proprietary dual-clutch. DSG feature is that the switching speed the driver does not need to press the clutch pedal, you simply move the lever from one position to the entire market druguyu.Chasche found cars with 180-strong unit. These machines are probably the best quality / price ratio. For reliability, the motor no major complaints. It may seem that he is stronger than the 225-strong fellow, but it is not. The fact that the 1.8-liter engine produces 225 hp has a different "stuffing" - when his design was seriously reinforced cylinders, pistons, intake / exhaust manifolds, etc. So that the life of a more powerful engine is no less than his younger analoga.Glavnaya danger during the operation of engines of 1.8 liter - failure of the turbine. If the driver will not allow the motor to work after active drive at least a couple of minutes, the turbine can be damaged by about 100 000-130 000 km. Turbine can be changed entirely, but there are sales and special repair kits cost around $ 600-800. Although many experts recommend not to take the whole skin a flint and a turbine assembly - its replacement will cost $ 1600-1700. Another relatively serious damage could be the failure of the air flow meter, which is the service station «Audi» prefer to call the more serious the phrase «MAF Sensor». They say that the sensor can withstand rarely more than five years of operation (usually breaks in three years), and is quite decent - more than $ 500. But if you remember the price of the TT, it is clear that the owner of this car should not be particularly suffer from the loss of several hundred dollars. The remaining common motor trouble can be solved in a much less significant amounts. For example, a leaking valve cover gasket or cam-chain tensioner is easy to replace for $ 150 and $ 220 соответственно.Естественно, when operating such a vehicle, as Audi TT, must be regularly changed oil and filter (save here is death.) In addition, it should be remembered that in Russia, the timing belt with rollers is updated at 70 000-90 000 km, although the company «Audi» and does not require this (work with parts - $ 500). By the reliability of transmissions TT claims no no. But the grip on the machines with the "mechanics" can seriously upset. Especially when under the hood is the engine capacity of 225 hp It turns out that if the driver is always sharp start and besides giving too much gas, the clutch can be damaged after only 10 000-20 000 km. And there are cases where zealous owners Audi TT «kill» the clutch so that the flywheel had to be changed, even the box! But even without the last replacement clutch kits require more than $ 550 for 150 - and 180-horsepower engine and $ 700 for a 225-strong avtomobilya.Samye powerful Audi TT equipped with all-wheel drive (the machine with a 180-horsepower engine has it not always). If CT correctly operate, the four-wheel drive will not cause any trouble. And there is nothing difficult about driving a Audi TT quattro there - just in time to change the oil in the clutch and use the wheels of the same size. It is worth noting one thing. We are all accustomed to that all-wheel drive the Audi constant, with a flexible coupling type Torsen (he, incidentally, is one of the best and most reliable in the world). But in the Audi TT, built on the basis of Volkswagen Golf, drive a little different. There is already clutch Haldex. Its peculiarity is that the quiet ride on dry asphalt car is front wheel drive, but when slippage of driving wheels are connected back. So drive the Audi TT is not very chestnyy.Esli you take a car with low mileage, the suspension can not particularly worry about (unless you are sure that the mileage is not twisted). Perhaps up to 100 000 km on the TT will have to change a rack bushings and stabilizer bar (every 30 000-50 000 km), but these details are not too expensive. In the case of buying a car with a mileage of under 100 000 km to prepare for certain investments in the suspension. So, on this line can come into disrepair shock absorbers, ball joints, tie rods and lugs, etc. Firm details on the SRT «Audi» are very expensive (for example, price shocks is $ 300-400, and ball joints - almost $ 200), but desire to save is possible. Enough to go to one of the many stores of spare parts and buy a very high quality parts about half the price. Although it is easy to understand many of the owners of Audi TT, preferring not to save a couple hundred dollars, and put only approved parts with garantiey.Na Audi TT quattro with mileage of 100 000-120 000 km may already be worn rear suspension. It's there multilink, and the front wheel drive machine has a conventional twist beam (break there, in fact, nothing). So replacing the rear suspension arm with a silent blocks will cost more than $ 1,200 (if you use original parts). Pretty expensive brake components, because only one front disc sells for $ 220, and pads are not cheap. Moreover, given the racing operation at Audi TT, pad wear rather quickly, but to save them is not necessary. EKSKURSV September 1998 at the Paris Motor Show the company «Audi» introduced a model called the TT, which has become the most athletic of all constructed on the basis of Volkswagen Golf (on the same platform created Skoda Octavia, Audi A3, Seat Toledo). Interestingly, the TT - not just two letters T, side by side. This abbreviation race Tourist Trophy, held at the beginning of XX veka.V March 1999 Roadster was featured on the base Audi TT with a soft folding roof (you can be ordered and hard plastic top). First time Audi TT equipped with two petrol engines of 1.8 liter turbocharged 180 hp or 224 hp, and a car with a 224-strong unit was based in four-wheel drive (for less powerful Audi TT optional). Shortly after the Audi TT have come into the market, it appears that they are dangerous .... It was found that at a high speed car holds the road is not the best. «Audi» TT immediately suspended sales in late 1999 announced a recall of all previously released machines. Modernization of the Audi TT touched the suspension, the car began to equip with ESP as standard, and the trunk lid appeared little spoyler.V 2002 saw the light most affordable Audi TT with the 1.8-liter engine rated at 150 hp And in early 2003 appeared coupe with a 3.2-liter V6 (250 hp). This unit is equipped with at the usual 6-step "mechanics" and the DSG transmission with dual stsepleniem.Nu in 2006 «Audi» introduced a whole new generation TT. The machine was noticeably larger than its predecessor. And under the hood Audi TT is now equipped with two engines - a 4-cylinder 2.0-liter turbocharged 200 hp and V6 of 3.2 liters, issuing 250 l.s.Krasivaya and spectacular Audi TT - one of the most popular sedan in our secondary market. Typically, these vehicles have low mileage and in good technical condition, which guarantees them free operation. In favor of the choice of 3-5-year-old Audi TT is the fact that they are quite slow fall in the price. Purchased today a car a few years can be sold without losing too much.
