Two days ago - and for the first time - a fellow Belgian A2 owner flashed his headlights as we passed each other in opposite directions 
I was more than happy to reciprocate. It really made my day!

See what Opie says, may be able to identify the correct part.
They do say to call.
If you open the link, there's message form for that purpose, just scroll down a bit.

This looks like it, it's Denso, and a bit less expensive than the Audi part. Opie suggest contacting them to make sure, so I'd do that.

This listing shows a part with a 7/16" 20 UNF-2B thread, which is about 11.1mm, so it does not fit my car. I have an early 2001 AUA, so perhaps they changed the condenser at some stage, and thus the G65? This may explain the confusion.This looks like it, it's Denso, and a bit less expensive than the Audi part. Opie suggest contacting them to make sure, so I'd do that.

I have a new Febi 1K0 959 126 E available FOC, for a donation to the club, if anyone needs it!!
LLL parts show a part number of 8E0 959 126, which is correct. Beware those sites that show this as applicable for the larger item!!!

Changed gearbox oil and added a squirt of molyslip as part of my major 60k overhaul (belts,pump,every fluid,every filter)
Just leaves inlet off to repair some sensor wiring then inlet and EGR cleaner run through while flushing engine followed by oil&filter and plugs.
Shouldn't have anything to do for a year

The MOT is due this Saturday & I noticed last night as my wife reversed down the drive a number plate light out
. As the forecast is for heavy rain tomorrow after I finish work I thought I'd take a look tonight. Both screws had snapped off before and where still in solid and pretty flush with two other screws holding a cracked lens in down the side of them. (I have got another tailgate section in a similar condition to refurbish) I had bought a couple of sets of LEDs so I have opened up the holes to 5 mm and sanded down the sides so the lens will fit in the recess and touch the contacts. So I now have two working number plate lights albeit night & day when on. I didn't touch the other side because the screws are even worse.

I removed them last month and it took me whole weekend to slowly drill and dremel away all 3 bolts In my case I removed the shock and spring then drill two of them out and last one I dremel the bolt from the top so it felt trough. Nothing helped regarding soaking they were solid seized. Surprisingly cheap aldi lidl drill bits for 6 quid did the trick.

Especially when I’m an Apple person for exactly these reasons
I’ve got RossTech & Mercedes WIS to get working, maybe BMW if I talk to my brother
Purchase is partly prompted from the recent threads suggesting going for a 20min drive and logging
Old laptop will only last about 5mins without power and creaky

I turned this;
Into this;
As ever, plenty of resources/posts on here from the likes of @Birchall @2work @timmus and many others which made the job easier than otherwise it might have been. The fact that it was an immaculate and complete kit which my pal sourced from @A2Steve a good few years ago now, also helped!
It is so satisfying now feeling comfortable to do this sort of things which prior to getting involved in A2’s back in 2019, I’d never have even considered attempting.

Brilliant, very fiddly job to get to the outside for the rails, looks so much better with false floor.
Ta.DahThe MOT is due this Saturday & I noticed last night as my wife reversed down the drive a number plate light out
Just a brake fluid change.
A Pass & no advisories.
MOT. Done for another year & a bit.
Jobs for this year.
Fit the new back panel into the hatch with LED number plate lights when I can get the 4 broken off screws out of it, at least it can be worked on off the car.
Look at changing out the front suspension (again) but this time to the newer Polo version which does away with the rear bushing set up as the front & rear bushes are in the wishbones, this might have to wait as the 52 plate A4 needs some TLC.
