Hello fellow (wannabe) A2 owners,
my name is Gert Ekkels and I live in the eastern part of the Netherlands, close to the German border.
Our family owns 2 A2's: my wife a 1.4 (AUA) 2001 petrol and I did own a 1.4 (BBY) 2003 petrol from 2014 till mid 2016.
Then this special A2 showed up at our local garage and I was able to buy it. It is a 1.9 TDI (ATD) with a DSG6 gearbox.
The previous owner had bought a German 1.4 TDI (ATL), but wanted an automatic gearbox. A (talented!) Dutch mechanic tried to change the gearbox to a DSG7, but didn't manage to get it without vibrations. Then they tried a DSG6, but without avail: the vibrations were still there. Then a colleague suggested to use a 4 cilinder 1.9 ATD, which fitted just perfectly, and the vibrations were gone!
I've owned it for a more then a year now, and I still enjoy every km (mile) I drive.
I'm planning to buy this English A2 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2004-Aud...ng-Equipment/232549349202?hash=item3625057752 which was mentioned in the 1.6 FSi thread and hoping to get some assistance in exporting...
