Audi TT parts reviews

I run EBC redstuff and Ultimax rotors on my TT and really like the stopping power. Have run the pads for over year in both street and track and the rotors for 2 years of both street and track without issues. My CC run greenstuff and although the stopping power is great, they have way too much dust for my taste.

I'm running the EBC yellowstuff, FWIW. Any opinions/suggestions/information would be appreciated!

I actually also like the NT-05 for track days primarily for the price. They are about as good in the dry as the RE-11's, better than the PSS but tend to get a bit noisy on the highway at certain speeds once they start to wear down.

A solid flywheel conversion clutch kit is popular; I have heard good things about the Valeo solution but if you want the quiet , smooth operation you are used to.... Stick with the stock setup. A friend of ours put the Valeo kit; in his 1st generation Audi TT 1.8t 5 speed and he has been happy with it.. Valeo has designed all the parts to work together and the disk, has some dampening springs built into it, in attempt to replicate a dual mass flywheel.

Brake job coming up this weekend. New rotors (Centric blanks, OEM size) are still in transit to my door... but here's the good stuff. Ferodo DS2500 brake pads and RBS600.

My TT has an OPTIMA YELLOW TOP. Battery put in service date 12/2006 9 years on a battery in this heat...un freakin heard of! Very good value for down here.

There is limited information to be found concerning replacing the drive belt for the Roadster's rear wind deflector, or wind stop. I've put together a DIY on the procedure as a service to this community. The process is really quite simple, using basic tools and armed with this DIY, you should have it done in 20 to 30 minutes.

Took alt off and reinstalled vReg. Reinstalled, was perfect kicking to 13-14V!.... *except* low & dropping V when idling for some minutes (9.5-11.5V). Noticed while staring @V through the climate control it hit 14.3 a couple of times. Hadn't been that high since \"repair\". Was conscious of it, thank goodness, because it proceeded to overcharge up to 17V!

I was using the OEM Castrol 5w40 and recently switched to Castrol European Formula 0w40. I found that I had the oil level drop a bit (oil burn perhaps) with the latter. For the current change I went back to OE Castrol and will see if things go back to no level drop.

The new clips that came with my red stuff pads is junk. They don\u2019t hold the pad in place for nothing.
