There are very few references on the forum to replacing the gaiters on the steering rack. The only thread I could find was the question ‘can it be done in situ’, to which @A2Steve said yes but be aware that the gaiters are handed. I have not been able to confirm that the two sides are different...

Having read many threads on this issue I have always kept an eye out for corrosion on the wishbones and always asked at MOT time for them to take particular note of examining the wishbones. Despite this today my offside wishbone fractured whilst I was driving, fortunately it was at low speed and...

Am I mistaken in thinking there are similarities here? Sub £17k VW ID1 electric Hatch

About to go over 100,000 miles I always considered myself lucky to have a relatively low mileage car. I am now in the middle of the pack and don’t expect to compete on the high mileage stakes. Never mind as long as she keeps going for another 100k

It is easy to forget how Audi has succumbed to the market pressure for ever bigger cars that offer very little extra in practicality Big Younger brother

My A2 passed it’s MOT today with advisories on rear spring corrosion and very slight play in the offside track rod. My questions are. 1) Should springs be replaced just because corrosion is present or should they be treated with rust inhibitor and wait until one snaps? 2) the garage say the...

Just had EML come on, code identified is P2108, only change in behaviour is a shudder when switching off, so I guess ASV. I have read what I can find on the forum but not much is said about the ASL most is about the EGR which on the BHC engine, I believe, are separate components. What has to...

The new stretch of A14 south of Huntingdon opened over 12 months ago. The latest update from VW is Nov 2020 but still does not have this stretch on the maps. Does anyone know if their is a different source for the update? Geoff

Saw this on the Facebook page but not here on the forum. I am sure there are some who would like to get hold of one.

Travelling south on the A1198 at around 20:15 the car was dark, either green or blue (?) had a reg of A2 xxx so aught at least be an A2OC member. I was travelling north in a Crystal Blue A2. Don’t know of many members in this area.

Having reinstated an OEM Concert 2 head unit it and checked it was working as designed, it was time to install the XCarLink. Having removed the cubby before I knew it was tight but the technique was well documented, so in with both hands, wiggle and pull out hard! Out it came..... I thought over...

Not sure how I stumbled on this strange blog on the A2. Clearly an automated translation but produces some weird phrasing. "The trunk people additionally advantage, because their own feet room gets to in to this particular meal room, developing a comfy with capacity of placement actually with...

Could not resist putting this image up Perhaps it is just that the A2 is such a generic shape for an optimised small car that they all end up looking the same (Fiat Panda, Vauxhall Meriva, i3) Geoff

Recent appearance of the orange engine warning light (emission control) led me to use my generic OBDII bluetooth adaptor with the android version of Torque diagnostics The P0118 code was thrown up so I guess I can be reasonably confident that I need to replace the G62 temp sensor. From the...

I had Power discs with ceramic pads fitted 2 years ago. They were a vast improvement on the aging oem set up I had. The braking performance was excellent, very progressive with no fade plus the added benefit of virtualy no brake dust on the wheels.. Two years on they still look great and very...

I have recently undertaken the popular uprade to heated door mirrors. I share this in the hope to help others avoid the disappointment and problems I experienced and also to try and verify what I believe to be a misunderstanding that some of the aftermarket suppliers are under. Wanting to...

Most members seem to search ebay for A2 bits and pieces. I have sourced several items successfuly. We all hope to get the real bargain but usually find that the good items attract a lot of bids. This week I purchased an unused VW Space Saver wheel and tyre 125/70 R16 so within 1.72% speedo...

With the DVLA ceasing to issue tax discs what are motorists going to do with their tax disc holders? Perhaps members have suggestions as to what use they could be put to. Some may just be happy to have improved visibility through the screen A couple of suggestions to get the ball...
