Hello All, I have been on the forum for a couple of months now but haven't posted on here yet to introduce myself and my A2 to the forum.
I have had my A2 now for officially 2 week, I purchased it off my wife's Grandad. The car had been sitting unused in the garage for 3 years! He had owned it for 7 years in total.
Details
Audi A2 1.4 TDI
Red Nappa leather seats
Panoramic Sunroof
Bose sound system
174,000 very carefully driven miles
Had to do a few jobs on it before it was road worthy including, PAS Pump, Front Spring and some general maintenance and titivation.
By far the worst job I have done so far is a repair to the front glass section of the Panoramic Sunroof, at some point in the cars life the glass had been cracked/smashed and someone had painstakingly removed it and replaced it with a piece of perspex, this had peeled up and was worse for ware so I took it to a local shop and had a new piece made, I stuck it to the roof using Strong Stuff glue and sealed around the edges, I was very pleased with the finale result it looked fantastic, however, it wasn't to last, after 15 minutes in the sun last week the Perspex expanded and popped off the roof
Will have to look into this in the future for now I managed to get some corrugated plastic sheet and stick this to the roof using industrial double sided tape, sealed around the edge with black silicone sealant and covered in vinyl wrap, it's by no means perfect, but it's water tight!
And that's about it for my story so far....
