I thought I better check as we haven't used the car for at least 4 weeks and sure enough dead as a dodo. Charging it with my motorcycle battery charger at the moment. When I first started charging it the alarm started to beep and only stoped once I put the key in the ignition and turned it...

Wife hit a pothole with the front wheels on the nearside and the spring on the offside broke off at the bottom. Any idea why the spring on the side that didn't hit the pot hole would break? Quite disappointed that it broke after 2 years when it replaced the original sport suspension that was 15...

1.4 TDI 150k miles original clutch and not slipping! So far I have adjusted the linkage and greased the cables/mechanism, cleared out the gator/stick from debris and greased as well. this made 0 difference. Without the engine running all gears select fine, reverse is a bit difficult to...

The cover on our TDI fell off - happened mid journey so had no choice but to rip it off completely. Does anyone have pictures of their repair bodge ? only the middle screw hole is still useable on ours the other fixing points are broken off. Was thinking of using a big washer in the middle...

I know as soon as I do it will be freezing again

Would something like This fit our A2 ? I understand there is a car shades company selling a exact fit kit for ~£80 but that seems a bit steep.

Here are a few comparison pics of my install today: Original side view: New Side view: Original height 25 inches: New height 26 1/2: New Suspension installed: Spring comparison: Old s**tty bits - you can play the accordion with the shocks I'll probably let a garage do the fronts...

Picking up a chest of drawers 160x90x50 later today and will attempt to fit it in/ strap down with boot open. As per title what's the biggest item you ever managed to transport with your A2 ? Pics welcome!

What a nightmare , took me about 5 hours to do both sides. Everything that could go wrong did! Next time I'll pay someone to do it but glad it's done. This solved my unbalanced handbrake problem.

My car is at the point now where I fix one problem - another one occurs :mad: Since yesterday I noticed that there is a 1 to 2 second delay until the car accelerates . No warning lights on the dash and once it starts accelerating, it does so without problems. ( Top speed unchanged) I found...

The knocking sound has returned on my A2 after changing the Droplinks 8 months ago (Meyle HD). I think the hole on the anti roll bar - where the drop link goes in is worn out and too big. The hole was already larger than the diameter of the drop links I fitted 8 months ago but over tightening...

I haven't used the car for 10 days and when trying to start - nothing no lights. Multimeter showed 10V. Already have a new F18 Varta on order but I tried to start the car with one of those jumper battery packs (Suaoki G7) and it wouldn't have it. Cranking for a second and then all lights off...

Car almost failed on the handbrake, but only on the off-side. I understand you can adjust the handbrake for both sides with the screw beneath the handbrake cover - but how do you tighten just one side ? Could the self adjuster be stuck/not working properly ?

I'm really struggling to find the correct kit. Some sellers state fits both AMF engine and BHC engines - some others state the exact same kit only fits BHC engines.... Can someone who bought timing belt kits before please give me the correct part numbers or even better links. I'm...

Now that I've sorted out the creaking rear springs, I can hear a knock from the front ... Never ending Can someone just confirm that this is indeed the old style ARB with the plastic collars . I've already read up on replacing it with polo bushes.

I started to have trouble with 3rd gear. Searching revealed synchromesh issue. Had nothing to lose so tried some MT-90 oil supposed to help with it and so far it has been fine! Only done 10 miles since the oil change but no problems. Didn't buy the expensive red line MT-90 stuff either. Out...

Can anyone advise please if the bolt that holds the big turbo pipe should be in one piece. There seems to be a rubber piece in the middle and mine is disconnected. Making the whole pipe vibrate .

Having difficulty to source the lower rubber cups that go on the rear springs. I am aware of the Audi part number 8Z0 511 149 A And febi 23412 Do any others fit? Many thanks

As per title, had the car for 2+ years now and never spotted it. It has been for a service and 2 MOTs in my ownership and they never noticed it either. SO I have 3 tyres 205/40/R17 and 1 215/40/R17 Still has 5mm thread left. What shall I do change it for the sake of it ?

The passenger window wont operate anymore from the passenger switch - it still lights up but does nothing. I can operate the window from the drivers side switch! Does that mean the module is gone ? Any how to's for replacing ?
