Audi A2 3L
Member
Good morning...
I've owned a Lupo 3L for coming up to 2 years (I drove to Stuttgart to buy it) and love it's mega economy and quirky nature.
It does need a modified driving style to get the most out of it but that's all part and parcel of owning one.
I have personally rebuilt the gearbox in my Lupo 3L (3rd to 4th gear selector fork broke), replaced whatever it needed to make it work as it should and the engine was replaced around 50k miles ago in Germany at VW.
I have however decided that with two young sons, a three door hatchback is getting a bit annoying and that I need more space and 5 doors.
Yesterday I went over to look at an A2 3L and ended up towing it home
It's a Cobalt blue '03 reg 3L that was brought in from Germany when almost new and I believe that it was owned by another A2OC member, Andrew Fisher.
The car is currently not running (we've had the engine running) as the gearbox control system went wrong and hasn't yet been correctly diagnosed and fixed despite having been sent to an Audi dealer for a new clutch.
I'll probably start a thread in the most applicable forum with updates now and again but it'll probably only cover a few choice upgrades and general running of the vehicle.
I wanted to first say 'Hello ' and what a great owners club.
Thank you for allowing me to join.
