Hey everybody, newbie here! Just picked this up a couple weeks ago, we've been keeping our eyes out for one but tough to come by in Montana! We had been watching cities that have flights from here to go get one and drive it home, then this shows up 65 miles away! 2004, 3.2, quattro, s-line, and the best part is it only has 28,000 miles on it! A 75 year old lady traded it in! Talk about finding the unicorn! I have the service records and the coil has been done. Anything else I should be concerned about or look into? Thanks!

Holy Crap thats freakin beautiful.

Thank you sir! Hoping for some advice from members if any is needed!

I have a 1.8 225 turbo 2004 roadster with a few mods done and I love it. Don't know much about the 3.2 engine other than it's a cousin of the Volkswagon VR6. Is yours a manual or do you have the DSG transmission?

Automatic Quattro with the paddle shifters, it's quick and fun! Any recommendations for mods?

Well you already have the power with the 3.2, the mods that I did to my TT were to give me the power that you already have. Depends what your bag is. If you like a more aggressive sound an aftermarket catback exhaust and a cold air intake can do the trick, maybe add a few horses & help your fuel economy too. If you like driving the twisties & putting it into the corners a suspension upgrade my be in order. The 3.2 adds quite a bit of weight to the TT front end and can make it dive a bit more in an aggressive corner. (according to a TOP GEAR show on the 3.2 TT) An aftermarket remap chip eg. APR or REVO is probably the single mod that will give you the most bang for your buck. I don't know about your engine but mine stock is 225 hp. With my APR chip it went to 257hp. On top of that I have a Modshack cold air intake, an aftermarket downpipe and a Borla catback. Have not touched the suspension or brakes yet. All this made my 1.8 really come alive! It's not the same car at all when it comes to performance & sound. I always look forward to driving it. With your 3.2 and that DSG transmission you already have a pretty powerful car.

Great, thanks! Anybody have some input on the "best" programmer out there? Would I need a program for both the transmission and the engine? Sorry for all the newbie questions! And thanks!

I've read that the DSG in TTs aren't really all that great? Like something tends to go out in them? Not sure but let us know how it goes!
