2001 TT225 Quattro 6 spd - spring and brakes
Just bought my first TT. 2001 TT225 1.8T Quattro 6 spd.
Needs a lot of TLC.
a) front left/driver side coil spring broken. Strut part number reads 8N0 413 031 M. Can someone confirm that I have the "sport" suspension? Spring have 6 dots: purple, purple, rose, rose, rose, rose. What do I need to look for? Struts are rusty, so if used, probably would change strut assembly.
b) all rotors/pads:
rear: vented. 256mm?
front: vented: 312mm?
Any interchanges (Golf for example?)
c) right passenger side headlight busted front lens
d) wiper arm transmission broken
e) fuel gauge goes NUTS (see short video). Any suggestion how to fix? Links?

Some answers:
There were no suspension options offered on the TT, just the base factory suspension.
For rotor information, read the specs in AudiWorld's Model Guide under "Features" above.
Instrument cluster problems are common in this car. Look at thread on the next page of this forum about 2001 TT Repairs.
First thing you must do is replace the timing belt and all associated hardware unless you are certain this has already been done within the past 5 years or 60K miles. If it fails you are looking at a $5K+ repair. See thread below about TT not running.
