It looks like I got an A2 virus , because I am looking to get another A2 for commuting in near future.
Near me there is for sale a 2001 1.4TDI AMF with 230.000 kilometers. According to the seller (I will go check it this week) it works fine, but he said that when the engine gets to the operating temperature it is not so powerfull as when it is still cold.
I am aware of all A2 problems regarding electricity, etc. but I am not familiar with this engine. Any suggestions what to check and is this symptom (less power on operating temperature) some known problem with known fix?
At which kilometers the clutch usually needs to be replaced? I expect that shocks will need replacement.
Anyway the car has also some other problems (central locking not working, OSS not working, etc.) but this is not problematic. I might tackle myself these problems later on. This A2 would be really used just for commuting so it is intended to be a cheap commuter, nothing more. For pouring money into it, I have a petrol 1.4 .
