Hello Everyone!
I have just recently picked up my 1992 TT Soarer and what an i say .... I LOVE IT! and this forum has been and still will be a wealth of knowledge! My soarer is Red, pretty sure its the GT-TL package - factory sunroof, electric seats, scrolly dash, cruise control... it has just clicked over 100,000kms.. Just waiting on my tax return to get its 100k service..

Cheers Guys, Been meaning to do my headlights they look a bit crap. should have them done on sunday! Darren, to the left of the instrument cluster i have a button that says "scroll" near where you can change the time on the dash. i think it just checks if all is good, when i press it is goes through water temp, oil pressure, charge, oil level, etc and so on.

Avert attention to the bottom of the front lip, it's the same colour as the rest of the car. Respray?

Welcome mate, but I think you should have bought a V8!

Hey Adrian, 100k service was $2300 but that included wheel bearings, Aircon regas and everything that should be done at 100k..

Glen, not sure it looks like it was added later and sprayed to try to match the car but its a little off. will be gone someday soon when i have enough money for a full respray and body kit.

Wheel bearings at 100,000km's? Never heard of a Soarer doing a wheel bearing at 100,000km's - mines up to nearly 200 now and still no noise from any of the wheels.

Yeah, they were a bit noisy, but when it was put on the hoist at S&LC the rear passenger side wheel was all wobbly and the bearing was rooted. so i got both replaced, makes me think the cars had a bit of hard life. not the best sign but she will be right...

Did my LF at around 140k, no trouble with the others-yet.
With any bearing they can last forever or they could go any time.
