Hey guys, in November 2011 i picked up my black 2005 TT 3.2 DSG roadster. I was replacing my mk4 golf gti turbo which had been a superb performer, but I have been hankering after a TT for ages, and it was time. Sadly, it didn't start well, although everything seemed great, after 3 months, the gearbox made some funny noises, as did I when Audi quoted 5.5k for a new box. I was more than annoyed.
It has now been 5 weeks since it went of for repair, and after much stress, law books and countless trips to TTS in Bedford (who stopped at nothing to get it fixed), my gearbox has been rebuilt (2.6k!), car has been fully serviced, and the icing on the cake, the sun has come out. I sold the golf last week, so the transition is complete. I have a lawyer friend who is making a claim to the garage i got it from for the repair costs, so hopefully ill have some extra money for some new wheels
It hasn't been a great start to TT ownership, but i have every intention of letting that go and doing what i set out to do, enjoying an awesome roadster in the (short) British summer time. Looking forward to the first meet
Hey, new TT owner with a bumpy start

Cheers, it was a right headache, but all that was forgotten on sunday after driving 120 miles in the sun all over the place
