yes

after much battling if you choose to import the remarkable 1.2 TDi as i've done, you will find insuring it much easier than when I first brought one over - check the ABI website:

http://www.abi.org.uk/carinsurance/

search for Audi A2 and result:

AUDI A2 TDI 1 1191cc 2002 * 5 - Diesel Manual 04032101 * G

G is for import

Well done Lukas. Victory to the little people!

Don't drink drive! Not only is it socially unaceptable, it also harms A2's.
Was a 1.4SE petrol. http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/uk14.htm http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/safety.htm
New A2 - Ebony Black, Red Leather, CC, Symphony + all the previous options we had.

The 1.2 TDI has got rather skinny 145/80R14 tyres.

You could put on some bigger wheels and tyres.

VW Polo wheels with 165/70R14 tyres or Audi A2 wheels with 175/60R15 tyres should fit.

Yes but then you'd increase rolling resistance and drag - even changing to the square shouldered winter tyres reduces mpg by around 10%

Also tracking this car around Castle Combe proved what an amazing little chassis this car has - the race pro instructor managed 1:50 ish - I got a best of 1:55 lap time - compare this to an RS4 with 400 more bhp times of 1:30 ... and my tyres were'nt worn thro either!

Would love to have taken a chipped 1.4 TDi Sport round tho!
