Well, my A2 1.4Tdi 90 going beautifully. now at 215,000 miles! Only purchased privately 2 months ago. It had the fullest service history I`ve ever seen on a used vehicle, but just fitted a new starter battery. Original was beginning to slow up in the colder weather. The performance is remarkable for a 90 bhp 1.4 diesel and just love the 3 cylinder growl! But being around 40% aluminium the lighter weight must have a lot to do with this. Have to declare an interest, as I was an Audi Sales Exec {as they liked to call them!) long retired, but sold many new Audi A2`s and just loved the concept! Shame Audi lost so much money on every A2 they sold as with updated cockpit tech would still look good today. It was always my ambition to own one, and still love the car and concept. Audi`s mandate at the time was to anhialate {typo) the then Mercedes A class which looked in its day, more like an Asian built vehicle. Nothing like the attention to quality that went with Audi, but sadly not to be. Anyway, so far delighted with my A2 and very happy there is such an enthusiastic owners forum.

Nice to see that you weren't put off by mileage and instead went for condition.

I've had all sorts of A2s over the years and mileage has had no bearing on the way they drive. In fact, if go as far to say as the higher mileage TDIs have actually driven better.

Different subject, but forgot to mention the previous owner of my A2 1.4Tdi 90, had professionally fitted an Audi A1 S. line Steering wheel obviously complete with airbag, but the steering wheel controls are for aesthetic purposes only! He was unhappy with the very shiny original steering wheel. If I knew how to upload a photo I`d be happy to show you guys how good it looks!View attachment 46281View attachment 46282

Nice wheel, be nice to see more of the car, a photo of the 215,000 is required to join the 200k club on here, you’ll need to search ‘200k club’ for the thread in question.


Also Timmus can connect up that wheel I believe!

Today I..... got a smile like a Cheshire cat on my face, why is that you ask? well when an old customer broke down, she called the AA for help. The AA done their diagnostics, scratched their heads and guess what they told her?

Sarge I'm in the market for fixes and updates; had a 75 for 6 years (my2000) I fitted used long 5th (from very helpful a2oc member) and had it mapped, a brilliant car which ive enjoyed thrashing to within an inch of its life, and wife has enjoyed hitting every carpark bolard in southern england, but London's mayor says no soon so today bought a 1.6 fsi sport with every bell and whistle. It has an oil leak, misfire after 30 miles and about 50hp, apart from that it's like new?. Could you pls advise on whos the best a2 diagnoser and fixer in north east London?
Thanks j

From the sound of it, fill it with some Super Unleaded (ONLY use Super on FSI's - DO NOT USE normal Unleaded, this is probably the most common cause of misfires) - then give it a run up the M1, perhaps in 4th basically give it some beans. This should hopefully clean out the carp that has built up. You could well find that it runs superbly after that! - Although, WATCH THE OIL!

In addition, add some injector cleaner to the next Super Unleaded tank full. Use now and again, even Sainsbury's sell it!.
