Default Bought my first TT

I just bought this silver TT from a lady last Friday,it's a 2000 model with 117k,loaded, very clean. I'm hoping the picture's link I'm about to post will show. I've always been a BMW guy, I have a 2004 330ci. I did some research on it before buying, it seems maintenance is expensive, but you can't beat the beautiful design.Most of my driving will be short distance and it's not going to be a daily driver. Any advice would be appreciated.

Nice car.
I have had my 2001 Quatro Roadster for 2 yrs now. Now problems at all.
When I bought it it had 84000 miles and the timing belt had been replaced at 70000 miles.
Other than replacing the O2 sensors and routine maintenance I havn't had any problems.
Other than the timing belt issue I haven't heard of any major issues.
Enjoy

Default Tune up

Any website or a video link that will show you how to change spark plugs/boots/fuel filter. I bought a PDF file download service manual for the TT, pictures are not clear so I think I got taken. Thanks!

I was considering an E46 330ci for a daily. Have RS6 now.. need to take miles off. I also thought of a TT - how would you compare the two?

The 04 BMW 330ci is faster and more comfortable to drive if you're going a long distance, they both look great, but in my opinion the TT looks better. They both have good gas mileage, my BMW about 18MPG in the city, 29-30 on the highway.
