Hi all!
New owner of a recently purchased 1.4 petrol A2 here 2002 Reg, 102k on the clock, serviced every year
Love the car, been eyeing it ever since it was launched and finally been able to find the excuse to get one.
I'd really like to get an opinion from other owners on a few oddities/bits which I noticed in the 3 weeks since I got it.
- Check engine light:
Code p0160 - Related to AMP sensor. Replaced this last week however code is now showing up again together with the
- EPC warning in the dash
It comes and goes, but it's usually on. brake lights work fine and engine seems fine, but I cant stand seeing those 2 yellow lights.
- Car shakes above 40mph
Wheel balancing for sure. Could it also be related to drop links that need replacing? I heard some clicking noise ONCE from the LH front wheel, but it never came back :/
- Battery warning light came on for a split second when RPMs dropped on uphill start.
Should I be worried?
- Power steering light
Came on once in 500 miles, turned it off/on and never showed up again.
Lots of questions for a first post but I'm paranoid by nature when it comes to cars/bikes and I'd really like to keep my new A2 in tiptop conditions.
