Hi All I have found a good place to have our A2 serviced, we use to go to Tony at A2Cars. Adam at Volkstechnics is very knowledgeable and cured a non functioning key fob before we got inside! He does mechanical, electrical, and AC work on any make of car not just VAG. He also uses a local...

Having connected a wire to the alternator and an earth the door opened! Thanks everyone. Kind regards Peter

Hi Tom I tried that first and it does not work. It feels as if nothing is happening, I think as sciroccorrado suggested the barrel needs work. When I opened the gap between the bonnett and the flap I could see the screw and using my longest screwdriver slackened it off a turn or two and it...

Thanks so much for all your replies. This is a great forum! Andrew I have for several years used a solar trickle charger but last year the battery went flat, a poor connection I think. Hence this year I disconnected the battery. It would have been better not to as I could always open the door...

Hello All We have been away from home for two months so as in the past the battery had gone flat I disconnected it and locked the door. On our return the key blade will not unlock the door. The key turns both ways but nothing happens. Any ideas what I can do? Thanks Peter

Solved! I had another look as audifan had suggested trying to flush out sludge in the system. I noticed there was a colourless jelly type stuff in the filter neck! I took out the filter (did not know it came out) and washed it under the tap. I was totally blocked by this jelly. Must have grown...

Removed the headlight and can see the power steering reservoir but the washer bottle is underneath that. She is due for a service so I will let them fix the problem. I can't grovel around under cars anymore! Thanks for your help. Regards Peter

Thanks for your replies. When there was water in the bottle it pumped spraying the screen. The filler is still full to the brim but the pump just runs not pumping water and the siren goes when the ignition is switched on. IE it is empty. There must be a total blockage somewhere but I cannot see...

Hello all, The washer siren came on so I went to fill the bottle up but it was full to the brim! Strange I thought. So I tried using the washer and it worked for about five washes but then ran out of fluid. But the bottle is still full to the brim! What's going on? I am flummoxed. Regards Peter

Hi all I have a photo of ours on the highest paved pass in Europe at 2770 meters or 9880 feet. I have tried to post a photo but it comes out huge,and I have tried resising it. Peter

Terrible news, how sad. The work he did for us on our Tdi 75 was always of the highest standard. RIP Tony

Bravo Tom! What a great write up, thanks.

Yes it did! Thanks very much. Job done! Peter

Hi My drivers door cable is broken so I brought a new one from Stafford Audi £11.94 which included £3 P&P. Not bad I thought. The door card came off easily as did the old cable but I cannot see how to fit the new one into the lock. Do I have to remove the lock or is it possible to thread it...

I had the same problem and it was fixed by correctly fitting the wheel bearings. Tony at A2 Cars is the man to see. Peter

Hi Simon I had exactly the same problem after Stealth fitted new bearings. I went to Tony at A2 Cars and the problem was solved. I was very pleased with Stealth for the other work they did, remap and higher top gear, service etc. I would ring Tony. Peter

A2 Cars Thanks Tony and Petra for the care and attention to detail while servicing our A2. Thanks also for the lift to and from Bletchley Park, a fascinating place to spend the day while our little car was being fixed. Peter

Hi I had just the same problem which was caused by an incorrectly fitted wheel bearing fitted by another VAG specialist. I had a new bearings, disks, and pads fitted. After about 1500 miles a slight judder started which progressively worsened. Tony at A2cars cured the problem by correctly...

I am with Vonnie. I found the SE seats uncomfortable especially on a long run and changed to Sports seats. I found them much more comfortable even without the adjustment. Tony of A2cars connected the electric adjustment and they are now even better. Thanks Tony! Hope this helps. Peter
