Ok, so does anyone think the picture of the car mirror on the current BBC web site front page look familiar? https://www.bbc.co.uk compared with a randomly chosen A2 mirror picture (flipped horizontally for comparison)

I have been watching the new second series of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan on Amazon Prime today and come across the "famous film A2" in a scene outside Liverpool Street Station. Episode 5, Series 2, 25:38 https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B07V823YW9/ref=atv_hm_hom_1_c_HdZNg2_sxlTtj_1_1 Its...

Hi, I was at my local Audi dealer parts department this morning ordering a part for my FSI. Although he wasn't serving at the time, one of the senior parts employees recognised me and mentioned that Audi will be discontinuing A2 parts soon. He though that was going to be in September this year...

Strange question, perhaps? I'm trying to get to the bottom of my Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air System too Lean error. I have performed a smoke leak test and fixed the small leak off the inlet due to my oil separator hose not having a clamp on the connection. That however should not really...

In the course of trying to get to the bottom of my Long Term Fuel Trim Additive Air System too Lean error I have just removed the oil separator and attached hose that's behind the engine for inspection. Although the hose shows signs of rubbing in two places, it and the oil separator box look...

Hi, I've noticed something odd on my 2004 FSI. It looks like there is a drain cup for the bonnet outlet missing on the right of the engine bay. The engine bay of my 2001 1.4 petrol looks like this: I have circled the right hand drain cup. However, on my 2004 FSI nothing's there: Was the...

Hi, I have an A2 1.6 FSI which has been stored in my garage for a number of years. Its my project car but for various reasons I have not been able to work on it for a while. This should hopefully change soon, but first I need to move the car out of the garage. I purchased the car in December...

Hi, I'm thinking of having a tailored car cover made so that I can store my project A2 outside temporarily. I am expecting that given the relatively low volumes of A2s produced, no company sells a bespoke tailored cover to fit the A2 shape exactly. Is that the case? Does anyone know of a...

Hi, I have just been attempting to fit the swing grey rear cup holder which I purchased second hand. I didn't get all the parts but it did come with the rare metal brackets for the rear fixing so I was happy at the time. To complete the kit of parts I added 2 bolts, 2 washers and the front...

A while ago I bought a set of OSRAM LEDriving FOG slights for my A2. I chose these because I wanted a quality and approved Daylight Running Light (DRL)...

Hi, I thought I would share the details of the XCarLink installation I performed in my A2 last week. The purpose was to upgrade my existing Audi Concert 1 with CD Changer and Bose system to add phone handsfree calling and the ability to play music from memory cards. Although a number...

When I use my Sat Nav, I have it mounted on a dash mount in the space by the front driver's side quarter light window where it fits neatly. What was less neat however was connecting it to the 12v power socket by the handbrake leaver as it required an extension cable routed around the cabin...

My Ebony Black 1.4 SE Petrol A2: Lots of factory fitted kit including Sports Leather heated seats, BOSE, CD Changer, Winter Pack, headlamp washers, DIS, MFSW, Auto dimming mirror and the collapsible spare wheel.

Hi, The first thing I did when I bought my A2 was change the headlight bulbs as I do a lot of driving at night on unlit roads. I have RING Xenon Ultima 120% brighter H7 bulbs in the dipped beam and OSRAM Night Breaker Plus 90% brighter H3 bulbs in the main beam. At the time, the brightest...

Hi, I would just like to give a big thank you to fellow member Kish_A2 who came round this morning and delivered the "final piece of the jigsaw" for my project A2. It was a pleasure to meet you Kish, even though it was very early in the morning :-) Will hopefully be starting a project...

Hi, just been washing my car and when cleaning round the bonnet area I noticed that the drain from the bottom of the windscreen just pours water over the engine. Surely there must be some kind of pipe attached to direct the water somewhere else? Does anyone have a photo of what the...

Introduction: Recently I have needed to do work on the climate unit in my A2. As I found certain information for right hand drive cars hard to find, I purchased the complete interior climate unit from a breakers. This allowed me to learn how it is put together, a task not possible with the...

Hi, today I changed the G263 evaporator outlet temperature sender on my A/C to restore the ice cool air. I did it without taking the dash off. Here is how: The first task was to locate the sensor. On LHD cars it is on the driver's side above the temperature and windscreen demister flap...

Hi, I decided today to look into replacing my G263 evaporator outlet temperature sensor. It hasn't worked since I got the car and I have had the replacement almost as long. Having not found any useful information for RHD cars except that the dash has to come off, I thought I would have a...

Hi, I have just fixed the heat control flap on the climate control in my car. This is my experience so that it can be of assistance to others. The heating was stuck on full heat after I had reassembled the car after some major work (including having the dash out). Performing the flap...
