Hi all
I'm yet another new comer to A2OC. I just bought my A2 1.6 FSI SE last week! Overall, I'm delighted with the car. To buy it, I part exchanged an old 380SL Merc which was really getting too costly to run. Sad to see the old car go, but the A2 is a relief in many ways.
Anyway, my engine management system light came on soon after I bought the car (a little suspicious, maybe, and something that appears quite common from the forum threads). I took it to an Audi dealership this week and they've diagnosed the "intake manifold flap motor" and claim I need a new one. In short, I curious whether a complete replacement of this motor seems necessary and whether anyone can suggest a reasonable parts supplier? The dealership are quoting £320 for the part.
I've searched for past threads on this topic, but only found passing mention. Apologies if I'm asking something that's old hat.
Oh, and thank you all for lots of the past posts on the forums. They've helped hugely in understanding the A2 and all it's special qualities!
