Hello all,
I used to have an A2 about 3 years ago but got rid of it as I had so many problems. I recognise a few of the regulars here from back then but I am under a new name as I couldn't remember my old login.
Well I had to get another. I kept seeing them and wishing I had a good one so I seen a used one in my price range and took the plunge.
Mixed feelings so far. The car still looks great, is fun to drive and I enjoy getting into it each time I drive. However.......
It has spent over 2 weeks in the garage since getting it less than 2 months ago. It was bought from a Honda garage and they really went to town on getting it right for me when I took it back. Thumbs up to my local Honda garage for that as the local Audi Garage (Braehead in Glasgow) is an utter joke. Honda passed it to them with a problem they couldn't fix and the lack of effort by Audi was disgusting. They basically just said there was nothing wrong with it and handed it back so the Honda garage tried their best to get it right. They really really tried (as I said, kept it for 2 weeks, invited me in to go out in it with a mechanic a few times till I was happy) but they were not totally succesfull.
I'll leave my intro here as I don't want to be too long winded so I'll list my current issues with the car later.
I have accepted that if I want to own this unique and distinctive wee car I'll need to get my fingers dirty and learn how to look after it myself so I am looking for some good reference material on doing pretty much anything I can to it from changing oil to stripping the interior.
I'll admit I'm a bit of a car maintenance novice but I learn real fast and just need the right guidance.
I may be a little frustrated but it's good to have an A2 again.
My A2 is:
1.4 (petrol) SE
51 plate (2001)
Azure Blue ( I think, nice cool sky blue colour - not the light blue)
So hello to all again and I hope to enjoy getting my wee A2 right with your help so I can properly enjoy owning what has been a favourite car of mine from the moment I 1st seen one.
Cheers,
Jamie.
