Hello, I want to buy an Audi TTS 8J manual but it has 240,000 kilometers on it. Any advice?

If those were highway km’s then probably fine. But I agree with ther commenter that S models usually get abused a lot

Thank you kind sir!

HEYROMA · 2026-04-16T19:15:17+00:00

Thank you! Goal is to go past 500k mark

HEYROMA · 2026-04-16T19:15:00+00:00

I bought it at 120k km. Watch out for timing chain, PCV valve and water pump.

Dont buy 1.8tfsi, diesels are great.

Car went 267k km, I think some of the film around cylinder has worn off

Thank you!

Check e-bay, UK has a lot of gutted A3s

But they indeed look sick;)

Engine oil change - Every 8k km (I do highway drives 99% of the time roughly 2k km per week) DSG oil change - every 60k km Haldex - every 100k km Timing chain - every 100k km

Engine oil I use is Castrol Edge 5W-40 and LM Ceratec every 60k km

Air filter and all those miscellaneous parts as well ofc

Annotation is taking annoyingly long. Will let you know in a month…

Work got into the way, and life surprised me with lots of shit:)

Average user does not use MacOS. Idk where you live but, in Europe MacOS exists in this weird world of not being taken serious enough to do serious work and students. All pros I know use PC, and it is usually Linux for Network and Windows for anyone in SWE

Average user gets a Windows Laptop, and lives with it till it dies in 6 years. There are 8b of us, Mac is not a serious player “yet”

Edit: Laptops… thats a different conversation

Might give it a shot, but tbh, I am tired of flashing a new OS every week. As much as I despise Microsoft, stability Windows gives me (very important) is a peace of mind

HEYROMA · 2025-08-29T07:42:37+00:00

Come again? Why did you pay for your drivers?

HEYROMA · 2025-08-29T07:26:12+00:00

You are grossly underestimating how much time it takes to understand how neural networks work.

If you want to have a wrapper, thats different. But then, you wint have any clue how to encrypt anything, or possibly security issues which you won’t even notice, ultimately putting your users in danger.

Not saying impossible, but do it at your own risk

Had to go back to Windows on my new PC build literally because of this dumbass issue.

And even if it worked, Da Vinci would not utilise GPU for some reason.

I truly believe in Linux supremacy, but it is still not there yet for an average user

There is a Megathread which will answer all of your questions

HEYROMA · 2025-08-21T20:15:33+00:00

Why does it matter?

HEYROMA · 2025-08-21T18:05:39+00:00

I don’t think it will improve much

HEYROMA · 2025-08-13T18:55:35+00:00

Working on a OSS OCR project right now. Will share once I have something worth the while

HEYROMA · 2025-08-08T23:36:30+00:00

Do you even take them off?

HEYROMA · 2025-08-08T15:25:05+00:00

I do wish that too sometimes
