Rescuing the Cheapest Audi TT on eBay.... PT1

Welcome back to the channel! 🚗 Today, we're diving into our latest project: a classic Audi TT Mark 1 with a 1.8 Turbo engine. This beauty, running 225 bhp, has seen better days but is packed with potential. From corroded brake lines and a dead battery to some much-needed cosmetic TLC, this TT is about to undergo a serious transformation.

In this episode, we'll assess the car's current condition, discuss the failed MOT issues, and outline our big plans to turn this TT into a high-powered beast pushing up to 350 horsepower. Stick around to see what we paid for it (you won’t believe the bargain!), and follow along as we tackle each challenge to bring this iconic car back to life.

🔧 Planned Modifications:

Brake and tire replacements
Engine tuning and performance upgrades
Full service and maintenance of the Haldex system
Exterior and interior clean-up and restoration

Introduction and Car Overview (00:04 - 00:24): The video introduces a new project car, an Audi TT Mark 1 with a 1.8 Turbo engine running 225 horsepower. It’s bought as a non-daily, toy car with some defects, including a dead battery and brake issues.

Condition and Initial Assessment (01:06 - 02:51): The car has corroded brake lines, worn brake pads, and some cosmetic issues like a misted-over headlight and peeling clear coat on the roof and bonnet. The interior is in good condition, though it needs cleaning.

Mechanical and Modification Plans (05:47 - 07:14): The car's 1.8 Turbo engine is highly tunable, with plans to push it to 300-350 horsepower. There's no known service history, and the car needs a full service, including maintenance of the Haldex four-wheel-drive system.

MOT Issues and Repairs (11:39 - 14:34): The last MOT failed due to tire tread issues, corroded brake pipes, and misted headlights. Minor defects include a loose battery and some oil leaks, which will be addressed in the restoration process.

Purchase Details and Future Plans (15:08 - 15:43): The car was purchased for £999, significantly below market value. Despite its defects, the car will serve as a project vehicle for future modifications and content creation on the channel.
