2001 Audi A2 SE 1.4 review from UK and Ireland
"A robust reliable vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have just put my car in for it's annual service and MOT. I also wanted an investigation carried out as the coolant light came on upon ignition.
I have been advised that the water pump is leaking. The cost of replacing it is £337. Having come on line the cost of the parts appears to be in the region of £40 (although this was not volunteered to me by the Dealer). I am led to believe that this is a big job, but how am I to know?
I am also told that 2 tyres need replacing £105 each and that the front brake pads are 80% worn at a cost of £126.
I feel very uneasy having learnt the cost of the water pump.
General comments?
Reliable, economic, safe, comfortable small car.
Slow of the mark, but a smooth runner at higher speeds.
