Bit of background - I succumbed early* - in a last minute rescue I save this lovely little silver A2 from the scrapper. The chap was selling it as he had just bought himself a nice little FSI.
Spec is nice, although not an SE it has quite a few of the SE bits on it, such as false floor, lit vanity mirrors, 4 speakers, Concert II stereo.
134k miles currently, did a quick VCDS check and everything seems to be in order at the moment. The brake emergency light came on a couple of times yesterday, but the chap explained he'd been through a bit of a flood the day before, and it started coming on then, but goes off after a few minutes driving. I suspect a wet contact on the sensor, so hopefully this will clear with use.
The wheels need a refurb to make them look nice, but appear to hold air fine, so might look at whether to get them done, or replace with a spare set I've got in the yard at the moment.
One bad point at the moment is there is a 10" crack at the bottom of the windscreen. Although I doubt it would be an MOT fail, it really doesn't look good so will probably get this replaced pronto. Anybody know of any national companies apart from AutoGlass or RAC who will quote for a screen replacement?
I'm not quite certain what's going to happen to this one yet. No real plans, it was an impulse rescue.
