Some people will recognise the car as let's face it there are not many S2 coupes for sale at the moment. I did go well over my budget but the car has only 107K on the clock and has been stored out of the rain for the last 13 years. There is minor surface corrosion over the subframes and the passenger side wing but was given a nice rust free wing with the sale. Car does have a cream, interior but if I end up hating it then I will buy a black interior and store the cream one so they could be refitted.

So faults with the car so far.
Thermostat has failed, car does not get up to temp and I've had this on so many Audi's over the years.
Brakes are truly awful, I've no confidence in them at all.
Central lock pump appears to run on when unlocking the car (but is working fine).
Headlight bulbs are awful like have two lit matches in front of the bumper.
Temperature control knob needs to be looked at as it's very stiff.
Sunroof has rusted and needs replacing. I got a rust free spare with the car.
Also in need of all the fluids replacing in the car, coolant, brakes, oil, pas, etc.
There is also a few bits of trim I'm not happy with so will be replaced.
Going to get a leather expert to look at the drivers seat and refurbish it, it's not bad but I would like it to look at little better if possible.

The car also came with these 18" Alloys which I will be selling as I going back to the 16" OEM Avus alloys which came with the car. They are in unmarked condition, so will be up for sale at some point soon, just need to find out what they are worth.

Where are you based? I'm sure there will be some local owners who will be happy to help with the list of work needed..

Shameless plug, I have a set of tidy buy in need of a powder coat Avus 16s with good tyres for sale..

The current wheels are genuine BBS split rims usually found as a factory upgrade on MK1 Audi TT. I'd imagine they would sell well on a TT forum

Thanks for the offer, I did get a set of S2 Avus wheels with the car so they are of to be refurbished tomorrow.

As Edd China would Say Top tip! When you by a car from your local Audi dealer for christ sake don't let them service it!

What do you think due for replacement

Filter was so dirty it's been sucked towards the fan and age has helped it fall apart.
