New member with an 8J V6
Just saying a polite hello.
Have a silver V6 as already stated came with full history and have just had the aux belt changed just as a precaution.
My first TT but previous have included xr2’s with 2i’s, Clio 16v, 5 series and possible one of my favourites imported mr2. Then it’s been company cars and vans. So I treated myself to a TT V6 as I fell in love with it when it was launched all them years ago.
Had car for 3 weeks now and so far saying how much I enjoy the sound of it simply is not enough. It’s has just developed a sticking near side door handle and silicon lub has not worked to fix it. Also the near side repeater has just packed in so fitting a new one after work on Friday.
Only mod I have planned at some point is to have wheels refurbished they are the Audi split rims and just need a small amount of tlc seen some on eBay with the centres darker than the rim which I’m liking.
That’s it for now.

Re: New member with an 8J V6
Thankyou.
Near side repeater now replaced what should have been a 5 minute job took 2 hours as someone has rounded the grub screw.
TTOC window stickers fitted in rear quarters and loose clips replaced from dual channel dash cam hard wire.
Any recommendations for a detailer around Hull area I know car has a few years on it but what harm can some tlc do?
