Hello everyone,
I picked up my A2 a week ago. Decent price, 113k, single owner, sold on by a dealership in London who did a bit of detailing for resale (I will come back to this in another post) - the interior is pretty good in the bits you see when test-driving and a long drive north, but I found that when I folded and lifted the rear seats that their valeter had clearly done it quickly. Beneath the rear seats was a lot of sawdust that nasal memory from my partner's flat years ago now suggests was perhaps from rabbit cages. There is a distant smell of rabbit urine that I am now picking up when I come back to the car after it sits in sunlight, suggesting that the boot carpet and perhaps rear seat upholstery needs to be given a treatment. It's not bad (ie, nowhere near as bad as male cat spray!), but any suggestions on anything that can be used to neutralise or eliminate this would be appreciated.
best,
Robin
