Engine Options Mk1:
The Audi TT Mk1 (8N) primarily featured the Volkswagen Group's 1.8L turbocharged inline-four cylinder engine (EA827/EA113 variants), available in various states of tune, including 150 PS (110 kW), 180 PS (132 kW), and 225 PS (165 kW) for the Quattro models. Later models also introduced the 3.2L VR6 engine.
Typical Performance Range:
Horsepower ranged from approximately 150 PS to 225 PS (110 kW to 165 kW) for the 1.8T models, and 250 PS (184 kW) for the 3.2 VR6. Torque figures varied accordingly.
Fuel Delivery:
Fuel injection (sequential multi-port injection and later direct injection for some variants).
Timing Mechanism:
Timing belt for the 1.8T engines, requiring periodic replacement. The VR6 engine utilizes a timing chain system.
Gearbox Options:
Manual transmissions (5-speed and 6-speed) were standard on most models. A 6-speed direct-shift gearbox (DSG) automatic transmission was available on certain 1.8T Quattro models.
Automatic Transmission:
6-speed DSG automatic transmission (02M/02E).
Drivetrain Configurations:
Front-wheel drive (FWD) and all-wheel drive (Quattro) configurations were available. Quattro models typically featured a Haldex all-wheel-drive system.
Body Styles:
Coupe and Roadster (convertible).
Curb Weight Range:
Curb weights typically ranged from approximately 1,200 kg to 1,500 kg, depending on the model, engine, and drivetrain configuration.
Trunk Volume Coupe:
Approximately 270 liters for the Coupe model.
Trunk Volume Roadster:
Significantly less than the coupe due to the convertible top mechanism, typically around 150-200 liters.
Euro Ncap Front Impact:
The Mk1 TT received a respectable 4-star rating in Euro NCAP frontal impact tests for its time, though later updates and safety features improved this.
Stability Control:
Electronic Stability Control (ESC, also known as ESP) was standard or optional depending on the model year and specification.
Airbags:
Front airbags for driver and passenger, side airbags were also available as standard or optional depending on the trim level and year.
Rollover Protection:
Roadster models featured integrated rollover protection bars behind the headrests.
Audio System:
Factory-installed Audi Chorus, Concert, or Symphony radio systems, often with CD players and cassette decks. Bose premium sound system was an option.
Parking Sensors:
Parking sensors (Audi parking system) were optional on later models.
Navigation:
Factory navigation systems were available as an option on higher-spec models.
Headlights:
Xenon headlights with automatic leveling were an option on many models, enhancing nighttime visibility.
Timing Belt Replacement 1 8T:
Recommended every 60,000-90,000 miles (96,000-145,000 km) or 5-7 years, whichever comes first, depending on driving conditions. Critical to follow for 1.8T engines to prevent catastrophic engine damage.
Oil Change Interval:
Typically every 10,000 miles (16,000 km) or 12 months, using synthetic oil meeting VW 502 00 or 503 00 specifications.
Engine Oil Specification:
Refer to manual for specific viscosity grades (e.g., 5W-40, 5W-30) and VW/Audi approvals (e.g., VW 502 00, VW 503 00, VW 504 00).
Coolant Specification:
G12 or G12+ antifreeze (pink or purple), mixed with distilled water.
Brake Fluid Specification:
DOT 4 brake fluid.
Transmission Fluid Manual:
GL-4 or GL-5 gear oil (refer to manual for specific viscosity and API ratings).
Transmission Fluid Dsg:
Specific DSG fluid (e.g., G 052 182), requires specialized change intervals and procedures.
Common Problems:
Ignition coil failures, PCV (Positive Crankcase Ventilation) system issues leading to oil leaks or rough running, ABS/ESP sensor failures, turbocharger wear (especially if oil changes were neglected), suspension component wear (bushings, ball joints), early models had some reports of oil consumption.
Timing Belt Concerns:
Crucial to maintain the timing belt on the 1.8T engines. Failure can lead to bent valves and significant engine damage. Water pump is often replaced concurrently with the timing belt.
Audi Legacy:
Audi, a premium German automobile manufacturer with a long history of engineering excellence, particularly known for its quattro all-wheel-drive system and innovative designs.
Tt Design Philosophy:
The first-generation Audi TT (Mk1) was a groundbreaking design, inspired by Bauhaus principles of form follows function, characterized by its iconic round, aerodynamic shape and distinctive 'bubble' roofline. It was first shown as a concept in 1995 and launched in 1998.
Production Period:
1998-2006
Manufacturing Location:
Győr, Hungary (under Audi Hungaria Motor Kft.) and Ingolstadt, Germany.
Key Milestones:
Introduction of the 225 PS 1.8T Quattro model with a 6-speed manual and later Haldex AWD, introduction of the Roadster variant, and the addition of the 3.2L VR6 engine with DSG transmission in later years.
