Hello, and thank you for letting me join the A2 club. I am not new to the A2 having had a Tdi-90 from new in 2004 for eleven years and it was only that we regularly drove to the south of France that it was replaced by a Golf Estate. During those eleven years the car behaved very well and the only repair needed was to clean the fuel flap switch. The one niggle was that there was no spare wheel. That was not really Audi’s fault as the car came to me as my company car, it had to be 4 doors, a diesel, and no optional extras allowed, (even free of charge ones). The little Audi caused a minor stir as my colleagues could not understand why I would chose such a small car rather than a Mondeo or VW Passat etc…….but I had a plan. Three years on and the A2 lease was up and it had to go, so I bought it for my wife and settled for a 3 series BMW as a replacement…..but that’s another story. As said we used the car for the next eight years and racked up around 80,000 miles before passing it on. I do feel just a touch guilty as I never once looked underneath the car, company car mentality I guess.
Now I’m retired another Tdi-90 has been bought and this time I will be looking after it myself. I have restored several motorcycles and a couple of cars and have a decent garage (carpeted of course) so am looking forward to the challenge. I have no doubt there will be the corrosion problems typical of the A2 and fingers crossed about the DMF and Turbo but already I found the A2 club forum to be a valuable source of information, and promise to add to it if I can.
