Hi, I'm surprised it took me this long to find a good TT forum.

Anyways, I have a 2001 225 coupe. I've had it for 2 years I bought it as an Audi certified used car with 54k miles on it and now it has about 65k. Its' still totally stock, I don't want to screw with the warranty. So far the warranty has replaced, in order, MAF, turn signal lever, window switches, engine (all internals, head, hoses, ect..), most of if not all of the wiring harness, cruise control switch, and tomorrow it's going in to get the AC taken care of.

I love the car I just hate the reliability. I'm sure as soon as the warranty is up I’m going to be asking for all kinds of help on repairs.

I just wanted to say hi.

 

i have a 2000 w/ over 100k on it now. Never had any real problems with mine. The only thing i have to change out is my a/c compressor to get my a/c working again.

 

Well hello sir... why did the engine need to be replaced out of curiousity...

 

im going with spun a rod bearing.

 

hmm, thrown rod huh?

 

The engine was at 59,000 miles and like clockwork the timing belt snapped. There hadn't been anything strange, then in the middle of an intersection the car stalled and that was the end of it. The dealer told me that the pistons slammed into the head and destroyed about everything. They showed me the warranty invoice and it was around $8000.00. That is how I got my timing belt done for only $50.00. Hooray me?

I feel a lot better seeing someone with high mileage. It gives me hope.
