A2 1.6 FSI review from 2019

[Jeetesh]

Was watching this review on youtube for a 1.6 FSI SE and reflects a lot of the discussions on the forum. You can hear the initial clatter on startup which is a characteristic of the FSI however mine is quieter than his beyond initial startup (his probably needs a service). What about other members FSI’s, how do your sound? Interesting he mentions it would be great with an electric drive train, that’s what I want when it’s viable, an A2e (future project) and my FSI.

Funnily enough I re-watched this only the other day. As he started it up I thought 'oh good, it's the diesel, let's see what he says'

I think he's now replaced it with a used i3 which he thought was the spiritual successor to the A2 in many ways.

Yeah, however when you watch the I3 video, he says he still has the A2.

Hello, FWIW I've bought a Peugeot all-electric e-208 and it's a lovely battery car but I don't plan to sell any of my three A2s, that's sure.... ?
With best wishes from Italy to you all for a rapid and benign end of this CV emergency,

Stefano
