I was hating on my TT.........CEL due to bad cat which also made it sound like a diesel, 53,000 miles with timing belt service looming, 2 bald front tires, and foam blowing out of the A/C vents......Decided to have timing belt service done, with new 3" downpipe with test pipe (cat delete), and 2 new Z rated tires. Not cheap but I like my car again........It runs and sounds great, no more worries about timing belt or tires.
It's still one of the best looking cars around. Waiting for the weather to get nice and drop the top. Nothing like it.
