Re: Why are TTs so Cheap??? (cdougyfresh)
Its cause people don't like working on cars, end of story. 90% of the TTs problems are minor (squeaky bushings, broken glovebox latch), and the other 10% are shared with any VAG a4 chassis car (1.8T timing belt *cough*). The only MAJOR problem that seems to be an issue is a dead Haldex controller, but OEM ones are way cheap, or you can upgrade; either way its an easy job. All in all if you don't mind some wrenching (or even enjoy it
) you'll be fine with a TT - you cannot expect it to be an appliance that will run forever with just new motor oil and a good vacuuming once in a while
