Ive been meaning to post a project thread and have fianlly gotten round to it!
this is my x reg silver 1.4 petrol a2, which was bought new by my grandad in late 2000 after he had seen the protyle al2 in germany while working over there and fell madly in love with the design. on its realese and return to the uk he bought two twins and my a2 was my grandmas, its twin is only on 8k miles!
its orignal spec is as follows
SE
chrome interior trim ( before it was made standard later )
windy rear windows
chorus
open sky ( has probably been opened about 20 times in its life until mine and was greased yearly by audi so is in mint condition! )
climate
ly7w paint option
6 spoke se wheels
currently residing on a milage of 90,012
for almost all its life its had a audi service with odd things reaplced such as accelerometers, rear alarm sounders, cccu, instrument cluster, and engie control units due to not hot starting, so quite a few gremlins in its first 10 years howver since 2011 hasnt had a single issue! in 2015 it even had a full new exhaust due to surface rust at the tune of 2.2k! in the covid years it went to the local garge for a oil change due but only covered 200 miles in those years! upon my ownership as a first car ive taken it back to audi for a cambelt and service but due to the discontuation of the lambda sensors it has visted wom who have done brake fluid, lambda b1 s2 and brake switch. before the wom trip i gave it a oil change as it was due (im surpised at how tricky it was to get to the oil filter than a tdi! ). in total this car when new cost 17.5k and has had 21k on servicing spent on it! the car is going in to dry storage in late august as i got to univeristy.
