love your vids. i just picked up a 03 tt with 80k on it and y'all have really inspired me to spruce her up. she already turns heads over here in the states as they are not so common. gotta fix the struts first then on to the sexy stuff
Welcome aboard, yeah I bet! I can imagine it looks tiny parked next to any truck over there 😂. Plenty of videos on the channel for adding those little tweaks to make it that much nicer ☺️. Any questions you know where I am
Same here, I just bought an 02 from a salvage auction and it’s a lovely car.. although everything he mentioned wants doing to it, completely bone stock 180s for £300.. I’m amazed.. 😂
Keep it up buddy, you are doing TT fans a service. I'm really interested in that catch can. I installed the Forge FMIC 3 weeks ago and I could see oil residues all over the old intercoolers.
@@TheParrottBros What's up man! Thanks for asking, I shopped for almost a year, I got a beautiful black one, 2001, 84k, all major stuff done including timing belt, new top, repaired cluster etc., you know, TT stuff lmao😌 im happy.
@@karimzamani2909 Sounds like you brought the perfect car! good effort, it takes a lot of will power not to buy the first one you see.... like i did aha
This is what I like about the car enthusiast world. No 2 people like the same thing. I used to Love blue silicone hose, polished parts etc. Now I like the crackle black finish, subtle add ins where possible too.
@@TheParrottBros I actually prefer older engine bays where there's no plastic covers and you can see what does what. A beautifully restored Jaguar or even MGB engine bay is a thing of beauty. The lack of plastic also makes changing things like air filters easier in some cars. But the plastic Audi TT covers look very neat and are actually relatively easy to keep clean, hiding a multitude of dirt and dust beneath. One of the bolts holding the battery cover in place on my car has seized and has resisted the efforts of better mechanics than myself. Luckily I can move the cover aside sufficiently to put the battery on a trickle charge when necessary. Keep up the good work: I do enjoy your videos.
hi i have a audi tt 2000 model i,m after the tt metal caps under engine bay for the strut covers oil cap and water bottle also the metal trim around the interior i,m in australia could you send me the links on contact details
How would one relocate the battery? Seems like it would be a pain to do. Also what would one need to put a 225 intake manifold on a 180? I want to get a fmic but hate the way the 180 routes the pipes and how they look.
Yes you could swap the inlet manifold to a 225 one for that desired routing, battery relocation isnt too bad if you buy a v6 battery cable set as they have the battery in the boot from factory
@@TheParrottBros oh yeah I forgot the vr6 had the battery in the back. On the fmic do I need anything besides the piping? I have a silicone pcv kit that eliminated a bunch of hoses
awesome vid! i'm starting my engine bay transformation now. can you or anyone inform me what other coolant bottle can be used, other than the standard oem one. i've seen some nicer looking bottles with better looking caps etc, but can't find them anywhere
My wife got me a Trackslag for my birthday and just got it polished up and when I put it in and realized the intercooler hose is 60mm and the pipe is 63.5mm. Do you know if the forge intercooler upper pipes are 63.5mm
@@TheParrottBros id like to do it myself being in california id like to be able to flash tunes on it so I can smog it every 2 years. Looking for stage 2 with an anti lag setting.
christopher morgan do a google search for “ kess remapping tool” that should give you what you want. It allows you to download and upload tunes to your car. I believe it comes with picer 100,000 pre set options. Not something I’ve done personally as like to put it on a rolling road. But people have told me that’s what they do
Aftermarket coolant bottle was 7euros for me so its a no brainer. Also very easy to replace. Got myself 1 sq m of heatcloth with a similar pattern to the TT from a marine supplies shop for 10 and redid all the heat shields, incl turbo one. All clips for the heatshields in seamstress supply shop . imgur.com/a/SnXpf6m
Those heat shields look brilliant buddy great work. I’ve got them on my todo list still as they just look like crap atm. The coolant bottle does make such a big visual difference for very little cost. Thanks for commenting 🤙🏻

I recognise a fair few of those ;) good video
I’m sure you’ve spent many hours under the bonnet of a few of those, thanks buddy appreciate it 👌🏻
Another fabulous video, many thanks, keep up the excellent work!👍👍

A trim dressing also considering for engine plastics is solution finish black trim restorer. Its expensive but easy to apply and very durable.
Just bought a bone stock 225...thanks for the TT videos keep em coming please
Karim Zamani lovely. What colour did you get?

Really enjoyed the vid. More top ideas. Thanks mate.
Thank you glad to see people are still watching it 🙂
Another fluent and interesting video. A perfectly maintained, original engine bay looks very nice. All that red stuff's a bit unnecessary and vulgar.

Dylan Black thanks buddy 👍🏻
Very good video,keep up the good work and ideas
Thanks buddy
Legend, pure heart ✌🏾💯
Great video, some good ideas, need to clean my engine bay this weekend!!! :)
Ady Cope haha yeah you do, thanks for watching. 👍🏻
Hi I’m interested on the oil deep stick can you spell the oil deep stick name pls .thank you.
I’ve literally spent the whole lockdown doing all of this.. the engine bay is perfect compared to the rest of the car haha.
Haha so when you show people the car you direct them straight to the bay 😂
The Parrott Bro’s literally, ignore all the scratches just look at the bay. Haha
This was an awesome video. Great tips again as usual.
It’s always my pleasure mate, thanks for the continued support 👌🏻
Brilliant video mate!! Love the content!
Thanks buddy 👍🏻👍🏻
Another great video!
Cheers lads

You mention to replace a coolant sensor. The temp clock in my 2003 3.2 does move all. Could that mean my coolant sensor may be the culprit?
Hey Gary drop me an email and I’ll give you a few things to try to see if that’s that or something else. Theparrottbros@outlook.com
Same here. Every once in a while it says my engine is at normal operating temp but the rest of the time it says it’s cold
What size is the fuel line for the fuel rail did you use?
Is this the pipe in question if so www.ebay.co.uk/itm/133392839153
awesome vid! i'm starting my engine bay transformation now.
can you or anyone inform me what other coolant bottle can be used, other than the standard oem one. i've seen some nicer looking bottles with better looking caps etc, but can't find them anywhere
Awesome gti offer the Porsche Caps which look nice, thanks for the nice comments. Changing the bottle other than stock I couldn’t say
@@TheParrottBros fair enough. well thanks for the reply and helpful vidz thus far
Nice video, could give me link to the supplier of the engine fix kit
yeah man head over to www.cbauto.co.uk
My wife got me a Trackslag for my birthday and just got it polished up and when I put it in and realized the intercooler hose is 60mm and the pipe is 63.5mm. Do you know if the forge intercooler upper pipes are 63.5mm
The forge stuff is a standard fitment so the likelihood is it’s 60mm like the stock one I would say
@@TheParrottBros any ideas where I would find a 63.5mm hose
@@seanwilson5472 you may have to make your own out of a couple pipes. As if you were doing a front mount. Using 63mm 45, etc
Can you point me in the direction of some info for tuning the ECU on my 01 TT Quattro 225 8N
christopher morgan doing it your self or buying one already done?
@@TheParrottBros id like to do it myself being in california id like to be able to flash tunes on it so I can smog it every 2 years. Looking for stage 2 with an anti lag setting.
Ps thanks for responding. I have asked a few people your the first. Apparently it's a secret or some shit. Lmao.
I just wanna go fast man. Lol. If I could squeeze 50-75 more HP outta it I'd be extatic

Would these fit on the 180bhp???
What specifically are you on about parts wise, the bolt kit will fit yes
you went from a 180 to a 225? According to the cover of your video.
It’s taken 3 years for someone to Notice 😂
@@TheParrottBrosgreat video though man hahaha, I’m currently doing the 225 upgrades to mine. Minus the twin intercooler
@@btbdesire4675 👌🏻😎
Nice one dude, gave me a few extra ideas!
Thanks for the comment 👍🏻
Do you do personal jobs i have a boosr leak and no one knows how to deal with it one person says its a turbo other say its something else
I don’t I’m afraid but I know someone who can, where are you based?
Can you send me the details
Can you contact me via Facebook, our website or Instagram and I’ll give you the info 👍🏻
Which length and internal diameter for braided fuel lines ? they look great !
Go for the Teflon braided, double check your fuel rail with a vernier gauge before ordering :)
Can you add more 3.2 to your content please 😉😉
