jezmunky Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Just bought myself a TT roadster in silver with the purple recaro bucket seats and all the purple trim. I presume these are an audi option but am having no luck finding out anything about them! Do they come in different colours?? were they a no-cost option?? Any help gratefully received!

shao_khan Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Welcome to tyresmoke. There were a limited number of cars made from factory with this option - I think each dealer had to have one, and you had silver with purple trim or purple with silver trim (Think thats right) and on this model it was standard. Otherwise recaros were an expensive option and the purple leather would haev been even more expensive. Some of tehse I saw also had the Audi body kit fitted. For more specific info check out the tt forum at www.ttforum.co.uk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmunky Posted September 25, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 Yeah, the one I've just bough has the Audi body kit, the purple recaro seats, 19inch wheels and uprate Bose with 6CD! It turns up tomorrow to replace my Volvo. Thank you for your help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shao_khan Posted September 25, 2006 Report Share Posted September 25, 2006 No problems stick around and post some pics - I think they are fab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmunky Posted September 26, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2006 Have taken delivery of the car today, it has the ABT front spoiler, rear spoiler, side skirts and exhaust system. It seems to increase the revs when you change gear at about 4000rpm rather than at the limitter, should i fit a dump valve or is this just something i'll notice having driven diesel cars for 4 years or so? what a car though! the bose stereo is fantastic!

shao_khan Posted September 27, 2006 Report Share Posted September 27, 2006 Bose is very good - I have a Sony MEX-5DI headunit that I had in my Bose Equiped TTr and its fab - nice TFT screen, MP3 capable plus Memory stick slot... COuld be tempted to part with it.... You can change the dump vlave - they are recirc types on the TT so you wont ever get much noise from it - I had a Forge item fitted (http://www.forgemotorsport.co.uk/), but I think the OEM parts are far more reliable now than they used to be. Pics of mine here, also had uprated brakes and front mount intercooler: http://www.woofdoggy.com/audi_tt.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezmunky Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Would a dump value stop that surge of rpm after declutching or would it be better just to change my driving style to lift off power a little longer before declutching? Or is this a fault with just my car rather than a characteristic of them all?! Will post some pics when I get in to the office. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the911sc Posted September 28, 2006 Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 I would stick with the stock one and just get a new one. They actually work well and are pretty cheap plus you dont get that truck style pssssss after each change. The revs are held up by the ecu and map, not the dv but a trip to Amd for a re chip is probably worthwhile if you want to change the characteristics. Enjoy...

jezmunky Posted September 28, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 28, 2006 Thanks for the advice. Will probably have the RICA software done on it and have the map changed to correct the characteristics I didn't like. Will also post some pics in the galleries area now!

GOLF GTTi Posted October 20, 2006 Report Share Posted October 20, 2006 From memory, the option with the Recaro's and colour coded steering wheel, door grips etc was called the "Control Pack". Sounds like a nice car! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
