THIS IS WHY YOU SHOULD BUY A AUDI TT MK2 TFSI (REVIEW) 2008

Reviewing this Audi TT MK2, my thoughts and opinions on this car.

Instagram - @SamPaddyProjectz

In this video, we take a closer look at the 2008 Audi TT MK2 2L TFSI and evaluate its performance, style, and overall value in 2022. As a popular sports car that has been on the market for years, the Audi TT has built up a strong reputation in the automotive industry. But how does the 2008 model hold up today?

We start off by examining the exterior design of the car, highlighting its sleek lines and recognizable grille. From there, we move into the cabin and assess the quality of the materials and features such as the infotainment system and seats.

Of course, one of the most important aspects of any sports car is its performance. We take the Audi TT for a spin and test out its acceleration, handling, and overall driving experience. We also touch on the car's fuel efficiency and maintenance.

Finally, we wrap up the video by answering the big question on everyone's mind: is the 2008 Audi TT still worth buying in 2022? We weigh the car's age against its build quality and technological advancements, and give our recommendation on whether or not this older sports car is worth the investment.

Whether you're a fan of Audi or just looking for a top-notch sports car, this review has everything you need to know about the 2008 Audi TT. So sit back, relax, and let's take a ride.

Quick update, had a HHO carbon detox including fuel system and intake chemical cleaning and WOW fantastic results. Car feels amazing now. Highly recommended. I used UK Auto Techs but there are many others to choose from.

I just bought a 2013 mk2 2.0 TFSI in dark grey with black alloys. Looks beautiful and feels brand new to me. It had 73000 miles on the clock. Love it.

As someone who has one of these, LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS from around 4:50 onwards. My one is 2007 and close to 90k miles and the engine suddenly completely ripped itself apart because of the cam follower. I only had the car for less than a year when it happened and it cost a around 1500 to fix the engine afterwards and had to use a special mod in order to fix it!

These cars are great fun and I love mine but i cant stress enough how important the information that he gives you is!

I test drove one with the quattro on a rainy day and fell in love with the way it handled, sure it burns oil but that comes with the territory. It's my daily driver and I get my thrills on a daily basis. Interior build quality is excellent.

Really good video mate. I've had my 2008 FWD manual for nearly 2 years and I love it. I put 12K miles on and the clock is just shy of 70K. It's now a Stage 1 (Superchips 250hp, 310nm), got a Kenwood wireless Android Auto head unit, privacy film, new alloys (Romac Venom), new Mk3 style halogen headlights. It sounds and drives brilliantly specially on A and B roads which I go on to work and back every day (West/South Yorkshire). I had the cam follower, cambelt and water pump done last year, use only Vpower and get around 330-350 miles from a full tank (spirited driving). High performance tyres are a must specially on a Stage 1 FWD. I went for the Goodyear Asymmetric 5s on all corners and they're amazing.

Spoiler activates over 70 mph. Provides 65kg of down force. Currently driving Stage 1 DSG with 263500 miles on the clock. 2007 Reg.

I'm in Newfoundland Canada and I have a 2014 TTS Black Edition and love this rocket!

The 2.0 TFSI engine is a good one and very smooth. Same as used in Golf GTI for a decade. Agree 100% on preventive maintenance. Take it to an independent who knows the engine. In the states the dealers will ring you up for $$$ every chance they can get.

I have the 3.2 mk2 manual and it’s a joy 128000 miles and going 😊

the audi tt mk2 is a great car - i've got the 2012 2.0 tfsi FWD manual. note to future owners: very early on after i bought the car, the spark plugs failed as i was entering the motorway and unfortunately had to be recovered to the garage because recovery didn't have the spark plugs for the TT - they are apparently a bit longer than standard ones and didn't keep them stocked in their vans. so for anyone thinking of buying these cars, it's perhaps worth investing in a set so if worst comes to worst and the plugs do fail, you can either do it yourself or call the recovery guys to do it for you. this is apparently a common failure on the TT. second issue was the thermostat sensor kicked the bucket. a lot of garages will try and chalk it up to the whole thermostat unit needs replacing - insist on a sensor check first and it is much cheaper to replace! also noticed clutch slip at 65k... i replaced the clutch around that time which a local garage charged around £300 (around £450 total because i found the part myself) - i don't think that's a car issue but rather a retarded previous driver issue. other than that, no major issues for 2 years.

as a first time owner, i was kind of shocked to find hard scratchy plastic covering the dash and top of the door cards. doesn't feel particularly nice to touch (but then again, who would be driving and touching those parts of the car at the same time anyway?) but visually nice. the dashpod is nice. the buttons, gearknob and other controls very nice to touch. the cabin is very well sound-proofed and feels extremely refined even with high winds, heavy rain and big wheels :) i've got full leather seats and been keeping the common sagging issue at bay - i'd recommend people invest in a decent leather cream and freshen up bi-weekly. cupholder is really just designed for small bottles/coffee cups and for the driver. future owners should look into the drainage issues with the car - they become blocked easily and is usually the root cause of water build up in the boot (by the battery!), dampness in the cabin, dim or total loss of rear lights, and water inside the petrol cap. this can be a DIY job but be prepared to remove the wheels to access some drainholes too. look for issues with the speakers if the TT has a bose system - water and dirt also manage to access the area where the amp is kept. this is a hugely expensive replacement if you go to a dealer, so don't bother looking. look to budget around £170-£200 for a 3rd party to repair the amp and water/dirt-proof it.

driving-wise - love the low positioning of the driver. steering is light but feels direct - typical of audi's anyway. not extremely involving but can be fun around really twisty roads at speed. good tyres are a must (pirelli p-zeros as a minimum standard). i just wish the steering was heavier like an alfa 147 or 2003 mini cooper or something. i enjoy the (kind of) extra practicalities of the TT over the Z4 and the fact good MPG (high 30's) is possible in a car like this if you drive sensibly on a motorway or cruising on a nice B-road. last recommendation: if you're going for pre-facelift mk2's, be aware of cambelt servicing. i think most facelifted mk2s (barring MY2010/2011) have a timing chain instead. all in all, this is not the most entertaining car even in manual, but still, a very comfortable good-looking one and it will put a grin on your face.

I’m in Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia. I have a Toyota Camry, a Harrier, a Wish, a Vios and a Corolla AE100/1994. I wish to have a continental car, Audi TT MK2 probably will be the one.❤

Brilliant video, hopefully picking one up tomorrow.

Interesting and informative vid. I have a 2011 2ltr TFSI. I was pro Japanese previously, (Honda Civic Type R's). However, the build and performance of the Mk2 TT is far superior than the two FN2s I had. It feels solid and the performance is very quick. I too have the 19" rims, which do add road noise but ensure the car looks complete cool. The only disappointing thing I would say, contradicting the video, are the seats. For such a well built car, they are not wholly comfortable and detract from the driving experience. A more sold frame would have worked better. Otherwise, I enjoy each and every drive in such a still current looking, powerful car. Recommended.

Fun car, my missus got one - stage 2 decatted, FWD 2.0 TFSI. Original 212hp or something not sure what power it’s running now, but it’s a nice level for blasting down b-roads without feeling death is imminent.

My Spoiler on my 2008 TT comes up at exactly 78mph & retracts back down at 50mph. Oh and I enjoyed your honeycomb grill video, I want to do the same to mine. 😁
