Check the soft top operation thoroughly. Open and close several times over your testing the vehicle.

Check the tail and brake lights for equal illumination (left side v right side). The ground on the rear light assemblies can degrade and need to be addressed.

The 2012 TT has a chain, not a belt.

man is this car fun,we picked it up on St Louis on Saturday and drove to Nashville about 4.5 hours. hot day but it was top up fun. passing the big rigs was a hoot. turbo powah!
then Sunday back home to Atlanta hit traffic and had to get off the highway on the curvy backroads. too many smiles per mile. lovin it so far, got us a 36 month 36000 mile full warranty too.$$$
