Hello everyone! On Tuesday I will (hopefully) be the lucky owner of a black A2 1.6 FSI Sport, a real beauty, in black, on which I have already put down a deposit. However, I am starting to have a slight lump of anxiety in my throat, due to the following reason: I have requested a test drive, after I put down the deposit, and the car drove absolutely beautifully on city roads and the motorway, but I noticed the dreaded EML come on. I was also getting the low fuel warning, and the dealer blamed it on that. At the end of the drive I asked him if it was something serious and he said it will be sorted by Tuesday. What encouraged me in the first place was the low mileage (76000), full service history with a major service carried out this year, and assurances by the dealer who is also a mechanic, that the car is in an excellent shape.
Now my questions are: is it likely to be something serious? if so, is it worth changing my mind about this model, and would it be a valid reason to ask for my deposit back? I really want it to be nothing serious, as I am already in love with the car, but I have to admit it is bothering me, especially as the more I read about the 1.6 FSI, the more worried I get.
Other than that, the car has refurbished 17" alloy wheels, a working panoramic roof, sports leather seats and a Bose system, it is in an exceptional shape and I can't wait to (hopefully) drive it!!
Your answers would be sooo helpful!!
