yes I heard that but previous owner had replaced the wiper motor and had receipts to prove which is a bonus. Have u done any exterior mods was thinking s3 rear defuser but not to sure yet on modsShould be a nice car. Plenty of smooth power for the size of the car, economy should be good (I get mid 50s on A roads and over 60 MPG on long motorway runs). They used this 170 TDI engine in both the TT and Skoda Octavia VRS (diesel). Any early problems were sorted by 2011. A common problem across that particular VAG age-range is the rear wiper motor - characterised by erratic movement and parking mid-screen.
Nice the LEDs really make it stand out. thanks for the info, is engine noise an issue as I had a bmw 3 series 2010 and sounded like a tractor but thanks for the answersI haven't done any modifications to mine other than Audi Sport number plate holders and LED DRLs. Mine has twin pipes, I think the 170s are twin pipe. I suspect it was the 140s which had a single pipe. There is quite a lot of subtle differences between the 170 and 140. The 170 has a larger turbo & intercooler, up-rated clutch, bigger front discs and different injectors. It isn't just a 140 with a different MAP.
This is probably a silly question but if i get a double din radio screen would it be plug and play as it has the bose sound system
