A2OC Donor
It’s not really a new member intro – more a return to the fold… Anyway, I thought I’d say an official ‘hi’ – it’s very nice to be back!
As some of you know I made a bad decision and got rid of my ‘02 silver A2 about 18 months ago, getting an ‘08 Mini Clubman D which turned out to be a disaster – 3 turbos in 5k miles, poor build quality etc. So a couple of months ago I got rid of the Mini, put a ‘wanted’ post up on A2OC, and a few weeks later I was the proud owner of forum member ‘Aluminium’s very nice black A2 tdi. It had a very light ‘platinum’ cloth interior, so after a little digging Timmus offered a set of black leather seats, and we did the work (and a few other bits) yesterday up in Lancaster. It’s now close to perfect in my eyes, so I thought I’d post a few photos, and a list of executed and planned mods.
Car:
Ebony black A2 tdi Sport, 75bhp with working Opensky, currently on 71k with fsh. I’m the 5th owner.
Previous mods:
-Stealth remap
- 17” RS4’s
- cruise control
My mods:
- 6 gear MYP Passat gearbox installed
- black leather heated seats
- Pure DAB head unit with Bluetooth installed in place of original Concert head unit
- polished Audi 15’s installed with 175/65 R15 tyres.
- Dension ipod connector removed (will be up for sale shortly)
- sunroof blind removed.
- starting problem fixed (G40 crank sensor), ashtray fixed, various squeaks fixed.
Planned mods:
- dateless registration plate (just waiting for the paperwork)
- heated mirrors (Audi)
It’s now close to perfect in my eyes. This is definitely a keeper!
