Hello everyone. I just bought an 02' TL Type S yesterday. I wanted a third gen but at this time, funds will only allow me to purchase a second gen. I have been searching for a car to buy and although a second gen Audi A4 with the 1.8 turbo was my car of choice, I just couldn't find one with the manual tranny and right color. Since I had to return the rental soon, I went ahead and purchased this ride. So far, so good, only thing wrong is the mileage is at 145k and I'm thinking mostly hiway miles. I'm the 3rd owner and paid $9k plus tax. It needs new tires but everything else is in great condition. Even the seats look close to new, especially the rear seats.

 

welcome. what are your plans? 2nd gen is better lookin IMO, we just dont have that many gadgets as the 3rd gen.

 

Welcome, post some pics when you get a chance. What are your plans for it? Color?, Navi?

 

Welcome, 2nd gen is a great car for the money.

 

Congrats...
My wife bought hers a month ago.
We love it...

Check if your tranny hs been done for the recall or not.
The 2nd gen famous with tranny problem.
Make sure you don't beat on it.

And this website is awesome....

 

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. Mine is silver in color and I think has everything except for navigation, which I'm going to install myself as I'm big in car audio. What is the recall specifically for? How do I check to see if the tranny has been recalled? You guys know what the recall code would be? I mean, at 145k, I don't think Honda/Acura is going to do anything about it even if it hasn't been recalled.

 

Go to the website I gave you, and register your car.
You need your vin# for that.
Afterthat go login and go to recall section.
There will tell you everything you need to know.
