Hello to you all. After a long wait I have at last purchased an A2 75bhp Tdi SE. It joins my Mk2 Fiat Panda 1.2 which I love very much and my pampered Z3 which I have had for 13 years. Yes my long distance car for business may be a Kuga, but I obviously love modern classics.
Knowing I was buying something of a project, my A2 has just over 190,000 on the speedo and main dealer servicing finishing at 135,000. Aware of some jobs, unfortunately the drive home showed up a turbo power drop at 70mph. It had gone into a safety limp mode which after stopping and restarting, went away to then reoccur every time I had a steep hill ahead of me. I managed the 90 miles home and put my code reader in to find nothing listed! I have booked the car into Cahill Motors a VW / Audi specialist in Dorchester, but have to wait until next Thursday before this happens. Anybody with any experience with either this garage or thoughts on what is wrong greatly appreciated.
My car looks very tidy inside and out with most things working well. The temperature guage, only moves a fraction so perhaps this has something to do with the turbo issues?
Pleased to be part of your circle, best wishes Mickyvino.
