I have an A2 1.4 tdi 75(bhp?) which is probably remapped / tuned
Are there any A2 specific specialists ?
Doesn’t particularly have to be a garage
Maybe a forum member that likes to work on them? Or a handy mechanic who knows a thing (or a thousand) about them!
I have an A2 with an array of random things that may need doing. I feel like it’s a bit of a specialist car to get everything right and would like to start by taking it to someone who actually knows about them.
At the moment, the car has been starting, running, and driving absolutely fine (within reason!) but there are a list of jobs I would like to try and tick off in terms of maintenance.
A couple of examples may be as follows:
I have an ABS/traction(?) light on, replaced the fault-code related one but same error still shows (mechanic suggesting could be wiring ?)
I think my fuel pump (or something in that department) might be leaking
May have a wheel bearing issue (or something related)
Sometimes the car smokes a little on startup when very stone cold (was told this is normal, not too sure really!)
Sometimes the AC/heating panel stops working (but always eventually starts working again)
Suspension possibly shagged..! Seems very violent over bumps but no obvious knocking or dodgy noises (other than the “maybe” wheel bearing)
Up until now I have been living with the “issues” and they don’t cause me any problems when driving, but I feel like it’s about time to actually address them.
I know and understand that with all the issues added up and repaired it’s not going to be pennies. Would like to start trying to fix things in a (necessary to me) specific order.
It’s not my main car, so I don’t really care too much about it, but I enjoy driving it and don’t fancy scrapping it off, or even selling it! Seems worth more kept running and driving as and when needed
I am located in West Hertfordshire
