Hey all, can i get your two cents on something?
So i bought my 02 A2 1.4tdi (75) a year and a half ago or so and got it really cheap, like well under a grand cheap. Main reason for this was a N-class write off and absolutely no history.
The write off was just for a split offised wing trim so that was fine and fixed quickly.
The point is ive done and had done a bunch of work on it since and its getting to the point where it's where i want it to be.
I've done:
Here's the thing. It now is imminently going to need a new clutch. That's a 600 quid ish job and I'm wondering if I'd be better off throwing in the towel.
I didn't buy the car expecting to make a profit or anything. After a year and a half with me the A2 is up to 135k miles ish and I'm sure would carry on for the same at least. I just cant help but feel I'm throwing good money after bad.
Any pearls of wisdom would be great.
Thanks, Riot.
