Hi Guys and Gals
So after about 10 years or so, I'm going to be back in an A2 75 TDi which I purchased as a project from ebay.
Not seen the car yet, but hoping to pick it up over the weekend. Car is a Silver/Blue SE with a power steering and gearbox issue (difficult to engage 3rd and 4th, and pops out of 5th). If the gearbox issue is not an easy fix, I will go down the JDD route.
Once that is sorted, I'm hoping to run it on a blend of 50% diesel, and 50% veg oil. Ive made my own bio in the past and ran is successfully on a Passat B5.5 TDi, MK1 and MK2 Octavia TDI (mk1 was also run on 100% veg oil) and also a MK5 Golf TDi. Theres a guy over on the veg oil forum who has run his polo 75tdi on 100% veg with no major hiccups so I'm confident that the A2 should run it too. Maybe in the future i'll switch to a 2 tank system? Who knows - lets get it running first!
