Hi, just signed up having found your great website. Always admired the concept of the A2, use of aluminium and that fascinating 3 cylinder diesel. I missed out on the 1.4tdi by buying my Wifes's Lupo 3 months too early, as it turned out so we were stuck with the 1.7Sdi not bad but would have been nicer to have the lighter engine.
So the plan is to get one after I've learnt as much as I can from this generous resource. My biggest concern is the need for a fault code reader which I'm hoping is available so I'm not reliant on dealerships for faultfinding....I prefer to do all the work myself where possible.
I've driven one currently for sale and not too far away....quite surprised at a slight raucous engine note (1.4tdi) but the suspension seemed fine. Probably won't go for this one though as there seemed to be an hint of head gasket mayonaise evidence in the filler cap. I've yet to find out from my research if this is a common problem. Anyway, I'll keep looking for as much experience as I can before I choose.
Thanks for a great website....I know these things don't happen on their own
