Chat Hello from Keynsham

CWS said:
Hi recently joined the a2oc having bought my first A2 last week, (I’ve always wanted one).
My car is a 2003 1.4 tdi sport with 150,000 miles on the clock, sadly it hasn’t been looked after very well, there’s plenty to do so no doubt it’s going to keep me busy.
I’m a complete novice in terms of mechanics so I am hoping the club will useful place to turn for help and advice especially when it comes to finding parts.
I live in Keynsham (between Bristol and Bath on the A4), and would really appreciate meeting any a2oc members who may live local and other enthusiasts socially at future group meetings.

Hiya and welcome Chris. I could pop over the bridge from Lydney if you guys are having a get together. That's provided no family commitments interfere!

Hi, welcome to A2OC. I remember seeing a 2003 1.4 tdi sport for sale, which had 75hp. I'd messaged the seller that tdi sports has 90hp, (these are getting rare to find) so that's an incorrect data and mislead to potential buyers, but he didn't get back to me of course. Did you buy that A2 by any chance?

Morning @Sylvester Sport trim (17’ wheels, full dis, sports steering wheel and gear stick and sports suspension from memory) was an option on all A2’s (except the 1.2!) so there are plenty of 75bhp 1.4 Tdi sports out there. Sorry to be a pedant.

They probably should've called it "sporty" as the hp didn't change LOL.
The sports suspension is an interesting addition thought.
 
Late to the party on this but also reasonably local to you all (Westbury) and am here to help with diagnostics, key coding etc for no costs.

Sadly I cant make the meet as away and and currently A2 less as loaned to a family member. Can do most spanner tasks too (Cambelts on the TDI's etc). Done an MYP conversion on a previous car too!

Good to see a great group forming in the region!

That’s great news Paul, I may ask for your help, could you code my keys for me? On a2 , number 2, (yes we have 2 now)
the ccu was replaced so the central locking won’t lock on the key.
