Chat Noobie from Lincs.

Hi all, a new member from Lincs here. As yet I'm not an A2 owner, but am off to view one today.
I've been an Audi owner for the past 30yrs, currently owning an A4, but have also sampled the other 3 Marques.
Looking at a 1.4tdi, (75hp) low ish miles for it's age. I did didn't really know whether to go to tdi or FSI. My A4 is a TDI, but I've also had a FSI Octavia in the past.
Found the forum very informative, as I've searched around, but sure to have many more enquiries.

Al.
 
Morning Al,

Welcome and the best of luck with the viewing later today. Fingers crossed it’s a good one, already looking forward to pictures.

Of note, I work not too far from you in Lincolnshire and more than happy to organise a mini meet up to fill any gaps in A2 knowledge you may have, I’m by no means an expert but certainly know my way around the vehicle these days. I can also provide a free diagnostic scan with full VCDS.

Kind regards,

Tom

Thanks Tom, I might very well take you up on that.
 
Thank you all for the welcome.
Viewed the car, it seemed like it would be a bargain, but too good to be true. Walked away.
But am viewing another tdi tomorrow. 🤞
 
Took the plunge today and bought a high milage 2001 1.4 TDI. Pick it up on Sunday.
Few knocks and scars and the drivers bolster has started to split a bit. But I got it for a decent enough price. Will post up some piccys next week.
I won't be putting excessive miles on it so the high miles don't worry me too much. He didn't behave much service history put a rake of parts receipts, so fingers crossed.
Have many of you guys had your oil pump, chain and sprockets changed as a precaution?
