Yep, you’ve gotta love them!!!Or those 2 torx screws at the back of the intercooler holding an already very secure intercooler into place.

Oh yes!! They are ridiculous!! Like wave washers on crash bar. I've put it all back though, couldn't bring myself not too.Or those 2 torx screws at the back of the intercooler holding an already very secure intercooler into place.
Did you press the gas or is your car idling at 950rpm?…..but then a little smile when my new fuel sensor did this!
For a TDI, thats about bang on.Did you press the gas or is your car idling at 950rpm?
Well I never, I was born in Oxted, small world!Drove 200 miles from Devon to Oxted for work - which is the kind of trip I bought the car for originally by the way.
I now know that after applying a 12% correction that CDIS is pretty accurate with the MPG readings; Audrey did it at 69.5mpg which was mostly cruising at 60-70mph depending on the terrain.
Stopped for a break at the 2h mark at Fleet services and parked next to this - the owner (whose sideburns were a thing of wonder, predictably enough) was a bit of a grumpy sod for a classic car owner - but then I assume he’s just filled up and calculated that his car probably isn’t quite as economical

During the journey I saw a total of 3 other A2s, the most I’ve ever spotted in one hit. One of these was on Belgian plates and had two bikes on the back and a roof box on - it looked almost like it was trying to hide!!
Does anyone else wave and flash their lights at another A2 driver? I always do and 90% of the time I get nothing back or slightly odd looks!!!
950 is standard for 75 tdi not sure on 90 tdiDid you press the gas or is your car idling at 950rpm?
That's good I didn't know that lol, my 1.4 petrol idles at 640rpm.950 is standard for 75 tdi not sure on 90 tdi
That was after only 5.6 miles - settled at 66mpg now after 60 miles.
So today.... my wife was driving one of our A2's and someone pulled out in front of her from a junction. So totally not her fault and the other person admits fault, there insurance company (LV) are even wanting to repair our vehicle as they are admitting liability. I have spoken to our insurance and based on what I told them of the damage there system says our vehicle is repairable (im worried they will get the vehicle and then say its not!). At this point I have 3 options.
1 Get the third parties insurance to repair (then my insurance cant help!), this option im less keen on.
2 use repairer network provided by our insurance (Auxillus)
3 have our insurance (admiral) repair it.
Attached is a photo of the damage (the other vehicle came off far worse, both passenger doors caved in, side curtain air bags deployed), its not clear on the photo but there is now a gap between the bonnet and wing and headlights pushed back. I am really hoping the insurance is right and they can repair it! If they say its beyond economical repair I need to do some research into what is an acceptable value? It has the Open Sky roof (working!) and optional Factory Tow Bar (ive never used it):

Horrible luck. I had exactly the same bump in my Dolphin Grey car. I managed to source a new slam panel, headlight, bumper and wing within the club for buttons and swapped over on the drive. It’s a massive ball ache but if it’s a car you know and love, it shouldn’t end up costing you to much except your time. We managed to swap the slam panel without dropping the coolant or air con gas btw.So today.... my wife was driving one of our A2's and someone pulled out in front of her from a junction.
