Hi everyone,
I've been an A2 owner for about 18 months now, but only recently stumbled upon the forum. It has already proven immensely helpful.
After the cambelt snapped in February I started to take the car more seriously and am learning all I can about it.
Mine is a fairly standard, cobalt blue. 1.6 FSI model, without many add-ons. It had 78k on board and it is now at 97k.
Today I got the first mod which was kindly and professionally done by timmus - a DIS. It was a pleasure to meet you and see your works, Tom. Thank you! Will certainly come back for more
And a few photos of the car and the DIS retrofit.
As it happens this is the first car that I bought and own. While I am very happy with the A2, I wish I found the forum prior to buying as I do not have the full service history. And it turns out the car had cruise control retrofitted and the job was not so good. And it pales in comparison to the loom and thorough job timmus did.
Also, the radio unit is different from the one that the documents claim I should have, resulting in a currently locked unit until Tom sources the correct code. I expect I willl slowly find more hidden "gems", but am determined to bring the car in top shape.
Thank you for the numerous invaluable threads that I feed and learn from.
Cheers,
Dan
