Greetings, fellow A2 enthusiasts! I bought my '03 1.6 just yesterday from a used car dealer 60 miles from me. It was the only A2 for sale in Northern Ireland. It does have a full service history and has had the timing chain and tensioner replaced 2 years ago. It needs 4 new discs and I'll do an oil change at the same time.
The only fault I've discovered is a leak from the expansion tank area. The hoses look ok and it's only losing around 100ml so I suspect the tank cap may not be sealing properly. Does anyone have any experience with this?
On a plus point I averaged exactly 50mpg on the way home, 50% motorway at 75mph and 50% A road 50mph. I drove to the garage in a Honda Jazz 1.4 and it only managed 44mpg
After I did the deal I drove to Portstewart strand 6 miles away and caught the last half of the Airwaves airshow and took some photos of my baby
