Hi all, Has anyone experienced anything similar to the following? In short, the airbag light is on and I'm getting two fault codes for 00588 (N95 steering wheel airbag high resistance - intermittent) and 00654 (N153 drivers seat belt tensioner high resistance - intermittent). As per the video...

Hi all, My brother's car requires a replacement heat shield to cover the fuel filter, located in front of the offside rear wheel. It's an FSI with the 42 litre fuel tank. I'm really struggling to find what should be the correct part number - as such, would anyone happen to know what I should be...

Hi, My brother's FSI has a rattle that is most prominent when decelerating. After some investigation, we've traced the rattle to the second cat (the NOx one underneath the car). It seems that it's loose/broken inside and hence, rattles. It's also had a DTC stored with the description of...

Well, the time has come where unfortunately the A2 will no longer be my daily drive. :o The desire for something a little quieter on the motorway and bigger has eventually resulted in the fact that I will no longer be an A2 owner soon. Over 21,000 exceptional miles and 2 years in the TDI have...

Hi, My car has a DTC stored in the Instrument Cluster module that will not clear. The code is 01336 and it's description is 'Data Bus for Comfort System 80-00 - Single Wire Operation'. The Ross Tech website gives the following information, here. Everything on the car works as it should...

Yep, ironically on one of the hottest days of the year, I need some help with an air conditioning problem! ;) Basically, the air conditioning is nowhere near as cold as it once was, and I can't work out why. When I changed the G263 sensor, the vent temperature would be a constant 3 Degrees...

All, Does anyone have experience with the wiring loom tape used in the engine bay? It's slightly different to the interior stuff and looks to be heat proof or similar maybe? Is it possible to purchase? I ask because I'm making extensive changes to a loom for a classic car that's being...

All, Like many, a few of the threaded studs underneath my car have snapped over the years, and as a result, the heat shielding that they attach is less secure than it once was. I'd like to change this, and find a solution. :rolleyes: I've done a fair bit of research, and the answer to my...

Hello, I visited Germany recently, to visit a few different places including the Nurburgring, the Porsche factory and museum at Zuffenhausen, and the Audi forums and factories at both Ingolstadt and Neckarsulm; with the latter being where our A2's were made. I'd thoroughly recommend the...

All, For those of us owning AMF engined TDI's that run with the EGR blanked, either through a plate or software, I have a question. :p From before the EGR being blanked compared to after, was there any noticeable time increase for the car to go from a cold engine to 90 degrees? :) The AMF...

Hi, I've been in the process of changing a few bulbs to LED's recently, and I figured that the following list would be useful compiled into one place. All of the information is available on the forum, but it's useful to have it all together. :) Exterior: Dipped headlight beam - H7 Main...

Hi, I've just been looking through the photographs of when I upgraded to a dual tone horn, and I've noticed what is either dirt or oil residue around the intercooler. It's only very slight, but do you think this is an indication of a leak appearing or just dirt from the road? :p Please notice...

All, I'm looking at various options for getting my TDI 'remapped'. :) I understand that Stealth Racing is very popular on here for remaps, and that AwesomeGTI has also been mentioned a few times. Stealth isn't too far away from me, around 2.5 hours, but it's a journey I'd like to avoid if...

Hi all, I managed to pick this up at the weekend, and I haven't seen one before. It's a booklet sent to dealers containing press information for the dealer to use to learn about the car so that they can then pass on the information to customers looking to buy a car. It has been sent by Audi...

Hi, I've had my current A2 since December of 2014. After fitting a few nice retrofits and modifications such as the twin interior boot light, dual tone horn and more recently RNS-E, I've found it really enjoyable to be undertaking work like this and improving my car in the process. Like a few...

Hello, I am having some issues with the gearbox and gearbox selector on my TDI, with the EWQ gearbox. A while ago, I adjusted the gearbox cable tension to rectify reverse gear being very difficult to engage. This was fixed by the adjustment, and has been fine ever since. A few days ago...

Hello, I thought I'd do a quick write up of having recently changed the front brakes on my TDI. I haven't really done anything special like swapping to bigger discs etc, I've merely changed to new discs and a different brand of pads and painted some parts. My previous discs had seen better...

Hello, I have a question for owners of TDI's regarding engaging reverse gear. When selecting reverse gear, it is often extremely stiff, far more than I'd say is reasonable. At other times it can be fine, being maybe only slighter hard to engage than first. Is reverse being stiff to engage...

Hi, I would like to share my experience of replacing the exhaust flex on my TDI. Tony at A2 Cars correctly identified a leaking exhaust pipe at the A2 Cars open day as being the cause of an odd noise with my car. I'd always had my suspicions about the exhaust, but never had the time to check...

Hi, The TDI is treating me well, and I must say that I'm very happy having made the switch from petrol to diesel. None the less, I've recently purchased a 2000 1.4 petrol A2 SE in Cobalt blue, as a sort of 'restoration project', and will be getting the car back to a good condition, such...
