    New S2 owner from Scotland

    Hello everyone,

    I've been a member for a while and last week purchased an S2! After looking for many months and considering a few cars i was beginning to lose hope i'd find what i was after.

    However, after a 7 hour car/bus/train journey to view the car, i hoped it would be as good as it appeared in the advert. It was and the owner was a top bloke as well. If i can look after it as well as he has, i'll be happy.

    So far the forum has been a great place to find out about these cars. Now i own one, it will be an invaluable source for looking after one.

    Anyway, some photos in the coming days when i've given her a wash.

    cheers, Mike

      and I suppose the burning question is, is it an avant or a coupe?

              There is a Craig who posts here (Kre8g?) who is from Perth as well.

              Here is a link to a engine bay device map, originally done for the AANs in the C4 UrS4/S6 but applies a lot to the 3B and especially the ABY S2s (and ADU RS2s). All the labels are hyperlinks to info about the engine devices. It will come in handy.

                              Ok as promised some photos-









                              I think a few of you will recognise the car?

                              This is my first Audi and i'm impressed so far. To begin with i was looking for a completely standard example, but the more i thought about it, i would probably end up doing a few upgrades. So i was on the lookout for one with this already done and leave the few standard ones alone. This has nearly all the mods i was looking for - front brakes upgraded, boost gauge, remapped 275hp at wheels. It is also ABY black with black leather

                              The only thing i am considering doing at some point is a new exhaust as it is very quiet. Not wanting anything too loud, but i need to hear the 5 cylinder more.

                              Do most owners do basic service themselves? Or take it to a garage? I've done the basics on cars before. Thanks for all the comments so far and let me know what you think of the car.
