6 months in, and I am besotted. My previous car was also a MK2 tsi140 se which had 120k on it that i onky had for 3 months before some drunken knobber totalled it on bonfire night last year. I loved that car and I had to go again. I had to have another mk2. I am soooo glad I did. 

 

She is a 2.0 TSI elegance with 97k on the clock.  which was something of an upgrade. Purchased as a CAT N I was a bit apprehensive but damn. She's fine. 

 

So far in the first 6 months I've had a full engine service, firmware update to stop the German radio, both front brake calipers, disks, pads all done, both rear shocks and springs done, and she's booked in with a dsg specialist end of the month for a full gearbox service. Oh and I debadged and stuck new ones on, but tempted to go back to classic green. 

 

I guess I'm posting this as a vanity thing as I love her. But also, anyone have any suggestions on what else I could do make her life as long as possible. 

 

Also interested to hear if anyone else has a MK2 tsi ea888, and if there's anything nasty I should be looking for in future. 

 

 

 

Nice lady

Very nice indeed.

 

If you have a CCZA, just check the chain tensioner and PCV at that mileage.

 

I love mine too mate, need to do a lot of overtaking here, it's a breeze with a 2.0 tsi!

 

The Elegance has great little tricks, the left mirror dip is handy, and the memory seats are a blessing. Never used the self parking though. 

 

Enjoy.
