Hi All,
I've just picked up my Audi A2 1.4 Petrol today.
I managed to get a real bargain in my opinion. Its a silver 1.4 Petrol, with the Open Sky extra, Climate Control and SE Model. Its only done 40k miles and is immaculate with full service history.
The owner was a little old lady that does about 1000 miles a year! Its been pottered to the shops and back and in the last 7 years its done little over 5000 miles!
I paid £1690 for it and the car is absolutely mint body work wise! So far I love it. Really nice to drive and very comfortable. The car is my Daily work commute where I do over 2 hours a day travelling. I own a Toyota GT86 Supercharged and modded so needed something more practical and economical for work!
The only problem with it seems to be the typical common problem of the starter motor squealing on initial start. This wasn't mentioned in the ad and after a 3 hour drive to go and collect I brushed it under the carpet and thought at worst it will be a new started.
I've searched the forum and found some posts regarding the problem. I'm pretty handy on DIY stuff and know which way round to hold a spanner etc!
How many people have tackled the taking it off and re-greasing it themself? Can't seem to find a definitive step by step guide or whats fully involved. (Sorry if Im looking in the wrong place, new around here).
Also wondering how the head units work! Currently its got the Chorus head unit with the tape player. Over the moon with the sound for a factory system! But ideally I want to have Bluetooth or AUX in at the least. Is there any OEM head units I can just swap to give me Bluetooth AUX? Are Audi head units interchangeable etc?
Look forward to driving it and tweaking it etc. And maybe getting out to some meets if theres anything around my way!
Cheers Jay
