Good evening, I am very new to Audi A2 ownership and have headed straight to this forum for advice. I've just jumped at the opportunity to acquire a neighbours A2 which is a 1 owner car. The car has had very little use in the last 12 months due to an intermittent cutting-out issue. My neighbour has lost faith in the car and I naively thought this was something I could sort. The car is a clean 1.6 fsi with 108000 miles on the clock. During the last 3 years the car has had very little use and when presented for MOT this week, it sailed straight through.
My neighbour lost faith when Lancaster Audi could not diagnose the intermittent cutting out. The car would always restart but not until left to rest for sometimes up to an hour. I have bought the car cheap and would love to keep and use the car. My currenti car is a Suzuki Swift and like for like the Audi drives and feels so much better. My immediate concerns are that I may not successfully diagnose the fault and an intermittent fault would ruin the ownership experience.
With the knowledge to hand on this forum, is there anyone willing to put money on exactly what this issue maybe. I've read that fuel pressure may be the issue. I've not driven the car any distance yet and so far so good, the car has not failed. However I am constantly aware the car could let me down any time.
Would love to hear your thoughts and remedies, as I would love to continue to own and drive this fabulous little car. When sorted are these generally a good reliable engine. My Swift has been fab but it doesn't roll like the Audi.
Many Thanks, Sean
