Hi all, 13 years ago I sold my cherished A2 1.4 TDI SE due to a series of company cars. I’ve held onto being a member as you all are a brilliant like minded bunch and ultimately I wanted another A2.
I’ve now taken the plunge and bought a good condition low mileage (26k miles) 2004 1.6 FSI SE...... I know what you are all thinking, its an unreliable engine and there are numerous documented issues with this engine which I’ve read.
Spec and condition was the most important thing for me as I want to upgrade/retro fit the things i ordered on my original A2 and then some (timmus I’ve sent you a separate message if I’ve done it correctly). Thereafter I want to look at an engine swap, probably a VAG petrol turbo hence not worrying about the FSI engine (some research to be done but would welcome some ideas).
I’m in Horsforth, Leeds if there are any meetings nearby or indeed owners who are local I’d be happy to meet.
I look forward to reading members experiences and no doubt I’ll post a few of my own.
Really chuffed I have another A2 and hopefully I’ll keep it forever!
