2000 tt quattro help

[IanJ]

I thought the early recall issue wasn't just the spoiler there were suspension mods too.

If it hasn't had it done I'd be looking into what can be done! My 2000 TT came with mods already done and it was very stable on the autobahns But I understand the premodded cars went round circuits quicker in skiled hands (I got rid of my TT for a Subaru as I was doing more track days then and the TT really disappointed)

Just found this

Yeah it happened in germany at ludicrous speed. I haven't seen a TT without a spoiler fitted in a really long time. I am sure there was a recall on it.

Was nicknamed the widow maker for just that. Recall was sways and spoiler. And yeah most have been done

well i don't think I have to worry too much about my sister driving at autobahn speed

is there a reason while there is only black and silver ones up for sale where there not any other colours?

[FLAUNTT]

Yes the control arms were compulsory but the rear wing was optional so this is why you can still find TT's without them.I think ESP was also optional in this recall.My 99 TT quattro only had the suspension done and has never had a wing on the back of it.

Whubbsie:

For the first year or two of TT in Australia at least, they were only available in Silver (Silverlake?), Solid Blue (Denim) and Solid Black. There were also three interior colours: Grey, black and blue. So you generally saw:

Black/Black
Black/Grey
Blue/Blue
Blue/Grey
Silver/Black
Silver/Grey

You could order it in any combination in theory, but when my dad ordered his Silver/Blue quattro in 2001, the first dealer wouldn't do it and the second dealer stuffed the order the first time around. The Silver/Blue was actually a really sweet combo but its pretty rare to see.

As for issues the only problem was a faulty water temp gauge, replaced under warranty.
