    Adding a2oc to tapatalk app (iOS)

    In the last week, a2oc has disappeared from my tapatalk app but I’m unable to add a2oc again - either by clicking the tapatalk pop-up on the a2oc site (when viewed through Safari), or by searching for and re-adding a2oc in the app by using the search terms “a2oc” “audi a2” or “a2 owners”. Is...

    Rear reading lights

    I’d like to replace the standard rear interior light with a wider part from an A6 that has reading lights. Does anyone have suggestions on how best to enlarge the aperture without risk of messing up the head lining? It’s a job I won’t be able to easily go back on! I haven’t yet checked the...

    Bluetooth (Connects2) unit dropping out - earthing fault?

    Hi folks - like many of you, I have a Connects2 unit to add Bluetooth connectivity and hands free to my head unit (a Sympony II). Frustratingly, while driving, my unit randomly disconnects its Bluetooth connection, caused by the power cycling on and off in an instant. I suspect this is an...

    Low torque at 1000-1500rpm

    Hi folks - my FSI seems to have particular low torque when pulling away. It has no problem when in-gear and lugging fourth or fifth round from under 2000rpm and 30/40mph, but it often needs a clutch dip if pulling off uphill and using less than 1500rpm. I have had the inlet manifold cleaned...

    I’m trying to remove the door handles from my front door cards, however after releasing the tabs at the front of the handles, they don’t seem to release from the interior side as one of the mouldings is too large and has no flex. Can anyone offer a tip please? If this was a Crystal Maze...

    OSS versions

    Out of interest, how can the original and updated versions of OSS be identified? My understanding is that this was either implemented at the factory during later production, or retrospectively by Audi dealers under warranty. Thanks!

    There was a project car for sale earlier which had chrome-ringed stereo knobs from an Audi A8 - does anyone have more details on this? I’m just trying to upgrade the bits that are touched most often! Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Cheap(er) xcarlink on eBay?

    Hi folks, I’m looking for a Bluetooth xcarlink module and found a much cheaper but seemingly identical option on eBay (£90 vs £120) - can anyone vouch for it? The seller doesn’t recognise the UK SKU but says it’s fully compatible - just want to check before taking the plunge! Thanks...

    Vacuum build-up in fuel tank (1.4 petrol)

    The fuel tank on my 1.4 AUA petrol (X-reg) has been developing a partial vacuum as fuel is used, evidenced by the fact that when the cap is opened after a tank-to-tank brim, petrol vapours will vent out of the tank for at least 15 seconds (displaced by nearly 35 litres of incoming/mixed air)...

    'Joey mod' headlights

    In the VW and MINI camp, 'joey modding' is the customisation of headlights, typically by repainting the internals in black or any other colour. I'm fortunate enough to have a pair of splittable headlights, so was wondering if anyone has painted the non-reflector part of their headlights in...

    Citroen Cactus

    Interesting breakdown of the technical concepts behind the Citroen Cactus.. see if you can spot the reason that A2s only came with front electric windows - although hinged rears would have been pushing it :p http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/geneva-motor-show/citroen-c4-cactus-gets-geneva-debut
