I was curious if any years are better or worse for purchase MK1 Audi TT? I'm looking at a Audi TT 2002 225hp 6 vs 2004 Audi TT 225hp 6. I read awhile ago some where that most Audi TT issues occurred between 2000-2003. Should I avoid those years?

Both the cars I'm looking out have around 120,000 miles the 2004 is $1,000 more...

Please help making a purchase Saturday

Read the Audiworld model guide and then read this FAQ for at least the first few pages Fourtitude.com - Audi TT FAQ .

I assume when you say 225hp 6 you mean 6 speed tranny since the 225 is a 4 cylinder engine.

IMO, I would buy the one that had the timing belt serviced most recently. This is a $750 repair at an indy shop and almost double that at the dealer. As the FAQ states, replacing the TB, water pump, tensioner, etc every 5 years or 60K is required to avoid a $5K+ engine failure. This is true for all Mk 1s except the 6 cylinder. If neither car has been done recently and/or there are no docs to prove it, buy the 2004 and get it done.

the 99, 2000 had the most problems, def, check the TB.
