So yesterday we bought a 2001 Audi TT. It's in really good shape, garaged all its life, etc. Has 49,000 miles. Its the 225 HP version, with Quattro all wheel drive, 6 speed manual transmission. The previous owner put on a set of BBS wheels and brand new Pirelli Pzeros. Pretty sweet for a daily driver... And a huge improvement from the damaged 1990 gray Toyota Camry she was driving.

Just got a call from my wife who was in a panic. She was stuck in the middle lane of 405 in West LA and all of a sudden the clutch gives out! So there she is unable to move with cars whizzing around her. Luckily a CHP pulls over and manages to get traffic stopped and pushes the car (which now only goes into neutral) to the shoulder. AAA is there now and is putting it on a flatbed. So its going to an Audi dealership near us where we get to be raped. Oh the fun of owning cars.

Dude, that sucks. Sorry to hear that. At least she didn't get hit!

Sorry to hear about it Tony. I told you to talk to her about all that street racing she was doing. No wonder the clutch fried.

Tony,

Wasn't the error code you got related to a clutch or tranny thingy? (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/idea.gif)

I'd rather have the bus in the background............The engine could have been dropped on the side of the freeway, clutch issue solved and repaired for less than 100 bucks with a mzx of 10 tools needed for the job......

Modern luxury does not supercede vintage simplicity!

Man what IS it about Audis? They are such fine cars, but I see more fairly new Audis broken down on the side of the road than any other car! A few years ago a friend finally got out of his POS Escort and bought his firts brand new car..a loaded A6.

He had so many problems:
AC quit--big deal on NC in the summer
Clutch or tranny freaked out betwen home and Atlanta, couldn't go past 2nd gear
electric oustdie mirrors went haywire
all of this and more in the first 6 months of ownership.

Don't get me wrong, I LIKE Audis, and the TT is cool. I would drive an Audi if I thought I could afford it. I think Audi makes the best wagon on the road. But when I commented to my mechanic (who drives an A8 that he got at auction for $7,000) that Asian cars don't act like that, his response was "why do you think I don't work on Asian cars? They don't break, no money in it".

I don't understand why, in 2005, a new car (especially one that costs like an audi) can be such a heartbreaker.

The upside with this TT is, it coulda been driven by a granny with a fulltime clutch foot who jut wore the cluth out prematurely.

Oh and Kudos to the CHP for pushing her off by hand and tearing up that sweet car with his buddy bumpers.
