Second generation

Is it true that new TT's spoilers activate at 120 kph? I found this in article on spoilers:

Thus, some spoilers that are effective at very low speeds often generate excessive drag at high speeds, and spoilers that work well at high speeds are often ineffective while moving slowly.

So is new TT's spoiler effective at high speed and does not generate excessive drag at high speeds? –195.210.208.197 15:51, 4 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The spoiler deploys at (I think) 70 mph and retracts at 50 mph. There is also a manual switch (it's on the centre console just in front of the gear lever). It retracts because the designers didn't want to change the lines around the back end, and it's designed purely for high speed use. SheffieldSteel 03:33, 19 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The TT spoiler does activate at 120km/h. I've personally tested it on a Australian delivered model. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.4.10 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 2007 July 14 (UTC)

TT-S information

The Wiki provides information about the TT-S and RS models but states them as being fact, when it's all just speculation. Perhaps a new section could be made for this. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 211.31.4.10 (talk • contribs) 01:28, 2007 July 14 (UTC)

Looks like

I've always thought the TT looked like an evolved VW Bug. I.E. what the Bug might have changed into if it had been changed a little every few years, instead of just the classic and new designs.
Has such an observation ever appeared in literature about the TT? —MJBurrage • TALK • 17:40, 1 December 2007 (UTC) Its deffinately been refered to as a squashed beetle in motor journalism in the UK.(86.31.188.11 (talk) 13:09, 1 October 2008 (UTC))[reply]

Any evidence Audi claims that the understeer is deliberate?

The whole section trying to explain that away is pretty weak, especially as Audi's newer models in the more serious ranges are moving to rear-balanced steering. John Nevard (talk) 01:10, 9 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I found the explanation to be relatively convincing, actually, but then again, I do prefer understeer. 1505, 20 March 2008 (AQ) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.152.182.181 (talk) 22:05, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Krysiak wasn't certified. Can't explain that away, either, whole thing was pretty weak. It was the undercertification, and the Audi didn't run well.--76.212.155.48 (talk) 09:35, 24 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The understeer was designed in when Audi replaced the front wishbones with the 2nd gen compliant design busings. Good write-up here: http://www.wak-tt.com/mods/defcon/defcon.htm —Preceding unsigned comment added by 213.63.157.53 (talk) 18:38, 4 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
