Hello,
I've just joined because of my A2 that I've had from new (well, it was a garage demonstrator) and which is now 17 years old with 110,000 miles on the clock. It's a 1.6 FSI SE and I love it to bits. I realised how attached I was to it when I tried to replace it this year and couldn't find anything I liked as much (and I have really tried!). My local garage has kept it going so far but in the last couple of years they have found themselves out of their depth a bit although right now it seems fine. I would like to know if there is anyone in my area (Harrogate, North Yorkshire) with specialist knowledge of A2s. I would prefer to hang on to it for ever, really! The OSS roof works but only to the first panel opening. I still open it but with some trepidation after reading about the troubles other people have had with theirs. I would love it to open fully again if that could be done without jeopardising the function it still has. I attach a photo of the car on its holidays in Norway. That was in 2008 but it still looks the same - honestly!
Would welcome any help to keep it on the road.
Thank you!
Wendy
