So nice to see a forum that's still active and helpful. I've been a long time member of the VW Audi Club in Norway, and sadly the forums are slowly dying. Happy to see this community still lives. Anyway, always been intrigued by the A2, and decided it was time to own one.
These days many A2s are being scrapped when failing EU-control (MOT), so numbers are going down. This car was listed for a long while, which is understandable considering the condition I picked it up for 4500 NOK, which is the same as 375 pounds. In Norway you can get 3000 NOK to scrap the car so was a close call, but the former owner wanted it to be saved rather than scrapped.
1.4 petrol (AUA) that just passed 300.000 kms (around 187.000 miles), and not really a well-maintained car to be honest. But I like to think it should live on.
It has quite a few known issues that I'll be adressing, such as water leaks and misfires, and also needs a general going through all around. Needs a large service, middle and rear exhaust is leaking, some small knocks in the suspension, sticking thermostat, interior smells a little funky due to water leaks and so on..
Plan is to get this car road worthy within one year, I also have a 1987 Audi 100 that I'm hoping to finish this winter after being off the road since 2010
