Hi all, new to this forum but not to the car. Had one many a year back and loved every single minute. Just purchased a 2001 1.4 petrol (with oss) 79k on the clock and pretty much one owner, condition is superb...but having it checked and serviced by our local inde in hextable (kent) ensuring it's all good all round and safe for our son to learn in. He was over the moon being given his Christmas present early so it could improve his driving skills while learning.
Anyways, here's the crux of the matter. The two sets of keys that were provided by the couple selling, neither of the remote functions work. Replaced the batteries in both thinking that could be the main issue as the car was used by an elderly lady who probably used the key only, no luck there. Tried the instructions found on this site, still no luck, so i guess, from all the reading on here, I'll need them both programming? I'm hoping the inde may have the relevant kit, but if not, could anyone be recommended in the Kent area to carry out such programming requirements?
Also, apart from the cars condition, I'm finding the biting point of the clutch incredibly high, way passed what we were used to on our last A2. Had someone do a little test and their comment was plenty of life left on it, but at some stage it will give up the ghost. How can i tell if it's a dmf clutch, or not? hoping not as i understand replacements are a lot cheaper.....
Hope you guys may be able to assist, thanks in advance.
