I don't think the quality is bad. Go on to any other forum and you'll see looong lists of issues. I think BMW's are generally pretty solid but my last TT (latest model) was in the garage for camshaft sensor, crankshaft sensor, blown amplifier, convertible roof failed twice, drivers door dropped...

Guys are crying about the same thing all over the place. Over on the TT forum people are selling their 42k TT RS for 27k after 18-24 months. That's almost a whole Clio right there.

I didn't see an 'excitor ring' in there. There was just the flat surface of the hub. Very confused as to how this thing works without some kind of ring/notch/reference point

Yeah, i thought it might when I saw the brake cleaner fluid running out of the gaiters.

I am finding my ABS over active. I'm not sure if it kicks in very easily on uneven surfaces purely because the chassis/suspension is very stiff compared to a 'regular' car. Even jacking up the front wheel virtually lifts the back wheel as well, I know that doesn't happen on a regular car...

This is what mine feels like, I jacked up the car and jiggled about the wheels and it seems fine there so assume the track rod ends are fine

KYB make pretty good dampers

Adjusting the rebound WILL affect the compression damping to a degree as well. Likewise, if you had Compression and Rebound damping they would also affect each other... for example 3 clicks of compression damping will affect the rebound damping approx 1 click. Rebound damping is always the...

I can feel a very slight knock coming from the steering. I don't think it's really left to right but almost up and down... it's like there is a play straight down from the steering wheel if that makes sense? Edit: Mine is a 2012 Gordini with 2,500 miles. The problem is that I can feel it but...

Just a quick one to say that I normally use Maguires micro fibre cloths but their Supreme Shine Microfibres are fantastic. Recommended

That looks like a worn tyre combined with too much camber

What does the V6 Airbox sound like? Similar to stock?

What open cone setup do you have?

It was the last 6 cylinder model M3. I test drove the Z4 M Coupe before buying the TT. Great car, great engine, very boring interior but mostly it isn't a car you can drive 10/10ths unless you have a spare air field. Sure you can get it sideways and have fun but unless you are a Finnish rally...

I took the lid off my airbox for the day and the noise is insane even though it loses power. So now I want the noise but not a big loss of power. From a bit of research I see that the K&N Apollo and the Pipercross Viper lose power, they are both enclosed cone filters... but then so is the...

why????

Almost, just with tarmac as smooth as a race track and no barriers Either way, not a place you want you want to be oversteering or running sideways

It's on the road that I find it to be brilliant because it's so precise. We don't drive around on the Top Gear test track and have 100m run off to go sideways and end up in a spin. If I miss the corner by 3 metres I fall off the mountain! I'll have to take some videos, it will freak you guys out!

I had an 2.0 Audi TT DSG roadster before the Clio. Now I have to say that the engine was really superb, power all over the rev range. The DSG gearbox is really phenomenal as well. You could be flat out right in the middle of a bend and change gears and it was so quick and smooth it wouldn't...
