Hello to all A2 lover.
I am new to UK and A2 is definitely going to be my first time owning a VAG, please bear with my poor english grammar and lack of knowledge of the lovely A2. My daily commute is around 60-70 miles mostly on A road, combined with my affection to the A2, I think it's time for me to go for a Tdi as my daily commute! And it's my first time to own a diesel.
I have a tight budget of £2,000, it's a daily commute so mechanical health is more important than exterior condition in my mind. I enjoy doing light repair job and maintenance on my car, is A2 a good platform to do so?
My time frame of purchasing is around Sept to Oct. And A2OC is definitely my first place come in mind for a well loved Tdi.
Here are my questions I need some advice:
Is there any model year or specific model I should avoid in terms of reliability?
What is the service interval for timing belt? Is it DIY-able without jack stands?
What should I do to make it a bullet proof daily?
At last if any member is planning to sell their Tdi in around Sept to Oct, please kindly let me know.
Thank you all
