Hello All,
I hope that someone can help me. After a long search for an A2 I finally got one a couple of months ago. All went well to begin with but being an 1.6 I was expecting the engine light to come on. When it did, my local mechanic found out that the previous owner had forgotten (!) to tell me that the inlet manifold flap mechanism had been by-passed. He has offered to reinstated the pipework but I am expecting a bag of trouble with the manifold. I don't really want to jump straight into replacement as I have seen that plenty of people on here have managed to get the mechnism going again, trouble is I am not capable enough of getting into this and my fiendly mechanic isn't keen either.
Does anybody know of someone local to the Cheltenham/Gloucester area who could have a look at this for me? I appreciate any suggestions.
Many Thanks
