    Wheeler dealers Audi RS6 Avant.

    Did anyone watch last nights episode of Wheeler Dealers with the 2004 Audi RS6 Avant. These super fast cars were being built at the same time as the A2,s when Audi were really on top of their game. The price of a new oil cooler was scary at £1,000 plus a similar amount for a replacement...

    Thoughts on Audi A1 16" wheels.

    Currently saving up for a set of Audi A1 16" alloy wheels for summer as i think they suit the A2 nicely. I,m running winter pepperpots at the moment and was wondering if anyones swapped from pepperpots to these A1 wheels. Having changed to "heavier" wheels in the past, and being disappointed...

    Exhaust back box....snapped peg.

    Many moons ago I stupidly bought a brand new rear exhaust box because a peg had snapped off and it wasn't supported correctly in the rubber mount. This cost a fair amount at the time and I recently noticed that my latest A2 was suffering from a similar issue. (Is this a problem on the 90,s ?)...

    Look after your windscreen scuttle panels.

    Around 18 months ago an autoglass technician fitted a new windscreen and advised a new scuttle panel as mine was broken at both ends with the tips missing. Ive put this off until yesterday so bit the bullet and paid a visit to Wakefield Audi. I found out that these scuttle panels are no longer...

    Washer jet piping

    The black plastic tubing which runs between the washer jets under the scuttle panel has become brittle and snapped. I've had a look at the Audi parts diagram and it's showing that this pipe should be corrogated. Does anyone know if the washer jet system/piping was changed over the years.

    17" tyre recomendations please

    I would very much like to put the original 17" wheels back on my A2 sport but have been reluctant so far due to comfort issues. Does anyone have any recommendations for tyre makes which may provide a more sedate ride and give good rim protection . Cheers, Dave :)

    I've had to buy a new battery for Vera. Very good service from Tayna with a next day delivery. My wife pointed out that it needed the travel vent stoppers removing or it would have exploded....whoops !.

    Battery life? .

    Does anyone know how long a good conditioned battery will hold its charge. I will be going on a fairly long extended holiday soon and would like to keep the alarm system in operation and the doors locked.

    Rubber under wiper arm

    Today an autoglass man came and fitted a new windscreen. I washed the car over the weekend and forgot to check if the small rubber bung was in place under the wiper arm...it wasn't. The result was the arm hitting the screen hard causing a large irrepairable crack. Not wanting to buy a new arm at...
