Yesterday I noticed I had a fault code for cylinder 3 glow plug, though starting had been unaffected. Pulling the all-in-1 rubber connector assembly away from all 3 glow plugs at the same time, the rubber was all cracked and virtually disintegrated as I took it off, the black plastic internal...

The button on the tailgate failed to open it intermittently for a week then gave up altogether. I have been opening it using the emergency release which is at the base of the glass and can be flipped out with the ignition key. I had started to think that the CCCU must be on the way out and was...

After heavy rain last week, upon opening the tailgate about a half pint of water ran out of the inner cover / door card in the inner handle area. I searched the forum but couldn't find anyone with the same problem. I guess it must be getting in via the reg. plate area with the lamp and button...

A falling dead tree has dented my son’s 2002 Polo A pillar and smashed the screen. No doubt an economic write-off for insurance, but given all new parts we’ve fitted recently, I’m considering trying to DIY and pin-pull the dents out. I’ve lots of experience welding and fabricating for body...

Time to own up - I've bought another A2 to go alongside my TDI 90. It's a '52 plate 1.6 FSI in Dolphin grey with 4 months MOT, under 97,000 miles and all the books, 2 working remote keys, fully working OSS and climate, DIS, 4 electric windows, Concert II with 6-disc changer in the boot, rear...

I converted my car (with the ATL engine) to 6-speed this year. I didn't change the starter. I did replace the DMF. None of the information sources I used when I did the conversion said to change the starter motor, but ever since, the starter has sounded a bit ropey, like an old Fiat 500 or 126...

This maybe premature, but I think I've fixed my V157. I'd been having the check engine lamp on most of the time and a nasty shudder when turning off for a few months, but otherwise the car was driving fine. The ATL engine has a different arrangement for actuating the flap which is all...

Hello All, After 11 days of ownership I thought I'd better check in as I am about to pester you with a few queries. I have hankered after one of these cars since they came out really. My A2 is replacing a Seat Arosa 1.4 TDI (75bhp, AMF engine) which I have driven 180,000 miles in 11 years...
