Well, it has been 3 years and I can not believe I have stuck it that long. I remember buying my A2, and even starting the forums all that time ago.
After a catalogue of problems things settled down and the car ran ok. We lived off the free servicing negotiated after the problems we had. Our last service cost a massive £325!
Last week we managed to pucture the back tyre. A simple problem lead to the car being off the road for 3 days and having to borrow my mothers car. Yes, the 16" low profile types on the A2 are almost unique to it so no one in NI stocked them.
After that we have more or less had it, we never managed to get the quoted miles per gallon anyway. I also notice that the A2 SE I paid extra for is now the std model coming in at £14K yet I paid more 3 years ago. Despite the idea the car would keep it's value it didn't really.
The chemical spare tyre was crap and never worked. The faulty petrol guage never really got fixed - If I wanted it fixed they were going to charge me over £200 ! suddenly knowing how much petrol was in the car was considered a luxary.
The Audi servicing price list is down right criminal.
So on wed the black audi I thought was my dream car (until I owned one) is now being swapped for a 1.8i 16v Zafira Elegance that has more luxary features than the A2 and more reliable (I hope).
It has been great craic on here at times, I was always reassuring that I was not the only one constantly battling with Audi and their francises
