Hi everyone! I didn’t see an introductions page however I saw this and thought I best announce that today I bought an A2. I’ve always liked the engineering behind them and oddly… despite the reviews I went for the 1.6 and I managed to find it in sport form, in black. I’m very happy. A few niggles but I bought from a dealer and they put a warranty on it. I also paid via credit card as some of the 1600 reviews did scare me a little!!
It’s just turned 73k and has a great history.
The job list to discuss with the dealer -
Glove box, literally fell off
EML doesn’t cycle with the ignition ( I do t believe the dealer has anything to do with this however the MOT tester should have failed the car for it)
Going to run a scan and see what scary codes are there. It does run very well. Rather gutless at lower RPM and an almost misfire feel occasionally on part throttle in the lower rpm. An Italian tune does help this.
Any pointers I’m all ears. I will report on the obd scan in a few days!
