Had the car up on the ramps at the weekend for a service and thermostat change, had a big puddle of gearbox oil sitting in the undertray, looks like it was coming from the shifter tower bottom bearing.. the circled bit in the pic. Pretty sure I smeared hylomar blue on the faces when I replaced...

Came up with a 'good bodge' for broken clip pedestals on the back of the tailgate interior trim panel, which is probably most cars whenever the panel was first removed, thought I'd share.. Take the clip, a washer that it fits over the top, just large enough for the clip to squeeze through, and a...

Maybe an odd question.. Anyone know if a front door (and back maybe) can fit in the back of an A2? Got a breaker near me and replacement doors are cheaper than repair costs! Ta muchly Steve

So.... Just started this pain in the butt job, is it really necessary to have to remove so much of the interior for this? Especially the centre console?

I know I know..... far too many suspension posts to trawl through them all... after a pair of rear shocks for my TDi 90, GSF have a big discount at the mo, but there are 'standard', 'sport', and 'heavy duty' rear shocks, what would be equivalent to a standard TDi 90? Loads to choose from Steve T

With the ignition off(TDI 90) there's a constant ticking noise from the passenger floor, take the key out and it stops for a few seconds then starts again.. Any ideas??

May well have been discussed before but can't find an answer... Got a few scuffs on the matt black rear spoiler of my TDi 90 going down to a white undercoat... any recommendations of a good rattle can paint to touch it up with? ta muchly Steve

A pair of these came as spares with the car.. what are they for?? Don't think my other A2 has them!

I've read a few threads on this..... Not the first time I've had this issue, The car takes approx 10 seconds cranking (approx 200rpm on tacho) before it chugs into life. Not all the time tho, seems to be if left overnight or after a days work for the drive home. No fault codes come up on my...

So, waiting for recovery on the M45 after the steering suddenly went a tad dangerous! Had a look and one control arm has rusted through!!! Not uncommon I know, are the cast ones a straight swap? Or do they take different sized bushings etc?

So then, at last I got my finger out and made a start removing the old tower, thought I would check before putting the new one in, do I need to use the cup and spring from the bottom of the old one? I'm guessing not but you never know...

Hi all, sooo... for a while now my gearshifting has been getting worse, especially between 3rd and 4th it doesn't want to slot in, have to go back down or up a gear with clutch pedal still down before it eventually goes in. I suspect the selector shaft on top of the gearbox.. just had a wiggle...

Haven't come across this before.. when unlocking the car with the fob, just one of the rear indicators flashes, and both rear indicators work fine. Hmm.. weird! anyone else had this? (I replaced the hazard/indicator relay for a new one a few weeks back)

As the title, I quite often now have non functioning remote locking, so I have to 're-marry' the key with the car by switching ignition on, and double click the lock or unlock button.. then remote locking is fine for a while. Also.. still having the odd randomly coming on hazard lights.. while...

Hi chaps, been trying to sort out my non working rad fan.. voltage into the control unit at idle is around 14v, only getting 11.5v going to the fan (with aircon on) which won't spin the fan. Connecting the fan to another battery nearer 12v worked. Just wondering what voltage the control unit...

Changed the fuel filter on my TDi t'other day, I had a Deproman filter drain plug ready to go back in, BUT.. I hadn't done the filter before and was expecting a plastic thing in there. I was surprised to find a fine threaded metal screw/plug that took a 5 or 6mm allen key to undo (it was damn...

As the title suggests, is this a biggy? My A2 is an AMF TDi, so apparently the valve is on the passenger side of the engine bay. Gonna replace the valve as part of the on-going saga to get rid of the common limp-home I'm getting. The valve was just under £50 from the local Audi Dealer, so...

My TDi still goes into limp home mode, although it generally behaves itself when I have some diesel cleaner in the tank. Almost went a whole week without problems. The morning after a fill up with no cleaner additive (Sunday) It's gone into limp on each journey this week so far! Would a...

Thought this may be worth a shot for my tdi 75's turbo (AMF) as it still goes into limp mode on every journey. Anyone tried this with success? I don't really want to remove the turbo if I don't need to. Oil was leaking into the turbo from failed valve seals after a headgasket change. (They had...

Was wondering when this valve is used, and where it is? My AMF engine shudders like hell on startup, and a bit when shutting off. Is this the cause? and where is this valve? My car still goes into limp home mode on most trips, checked all vacuum hoses and nothing to report there. Did start...
