I'm getting an intermittent loss of performance that develops into a serious misfire. Seems to go back to normal after letting the car sit. From the codes I'm thinking perhaps an earth fault? Will update with fault codes once the fault re-appears to see what's a red herring. 12 Faults Found...

Afternoon all, Just got all the work completed following an MOT, just test drive the car and it threw an ABS, ESC and red explanation light at me. Checked the codes with a snap-on solus edge and got: 00290 - ABS Wheel Speed Sensor, Rear Left - G46 Mechanical Malfunction - Intermittent Only...

Just thought I’d drop in a note to let people know that dropping the sump on these is a complete PITA!!! I’ve developed a low oil pressure alarm that pops up at ~1500rpm. From experience, I believe this is a clogged oil pickup strainer which was very prevalent in the early 1.8t engines of the...

Having now purchased a bigger car for transporting dogs and (in the oven) baby, I've been using another car forum (bimmer forums uk) What I can say is that it is easy to take the community of the A2OC for granted - it really is miles apart from other forums I have used. It's fair, informative...

Trying to write a for sale item and it won't let me post unless i select a thread prefix... Only there isn't anything to select a thread prefix with! Driving me nuts!!! Can someone possibly help? Nick

A while ago I alluded that I was considering the sale of my FSI Sport, My problem is it's just causing me too much hassle - it is on 157k and always after some sort of maintenance to keep her going - which is understandable, but is becoming a bit of a money pit. All nicety aside, I'm not...

FSI Throttle Body I'm currently looking for a new throttle body for my FSI - Mine is no longer working (one of the angle sensors is stuffed) and I've PM'd a couple of people who have given me a price - that's sorted, I just haven't pulled the trigger yet. My hesitation is that I do not want...

I'm genuinely not sure what she's worth but here's the spec. Just a note that this is not a for sale ad, a couple niggles to fix before being put up for sale. 2003 1.6 FSI Sport in Pearl Black 156,500mi Part Service History with all the important bits changed ~6 months ago Inc. Cam Belts...

Okay, bit of a strange one. When i lock the car at night and return in the morning, 30% of the time the hazards are flashing. Now, i would of thought this was the doing of the alarm, however disarming the alarm does not stop the hazards flashing, I have to go in and turn the hazards off by the...

Title says it all.... have I got a bigger tank or did I use a dodgy pump!?!? Nick

Just had to get towed back home after we popped into Waitrose for a pink donut!! Call comes over the tannoy for the owner of a black audi registration etc.etc, go to the desk and she tells me there was a bit of a bang and lots of steam came from my car. Walk to the car and it's dumped all of...

A previous owner bodged the oil pressure swiitch wiring on my A2 with a generic blade connector, the oil pressure swicth has since died a death. I've replaced the switch and purchased a new connector block from Audi, however it did not come with the pin. Does anybody know what i need to search...

I'll start this by saying I should of taken pictures and that this may not solve FSI issues for everyone. So, i started noticing a strange clicking noise coming from under the bonnet when I turned on my ignition, I assumed this was normal, one of the solenoid etc. however the clicking...

Now, knowing full well that the preferred option is the RNS-E Mk 2, I've managed to come across a RNS-D unit for a very respectable price. The unit is coming from a 2003 A6, what do I need to make it work? So far I know I need the TMC box if I want the DIS to display directional...

Right, just finished installing some HID's & Bi-Xenon Projectors, but I've got a bit of a strange issue When I flash the headlights, the instrument cluster powers off, then comes back on with a orange steering wheel symbol? Anybody got any ideas!?

I've been doing quite a bit of digging and I keep finding conflicting posts... My A2 is a 2003 - From what I've read, the 1.6FSI Late 2002 > already has the wiring harness in place for cruise control. Is this fact? If not, how would i go about checking? I've carried out this retrofit...

Not sure if the A/C makes any difference or not, with the belt off the Auxiliary Belt Tensioner Pully is pretty ropey, not nice and smooth at all. Checked prices and was shocked at the £75 from GSF, still too much for me even with 50% off! Now, when I say too much, what I mean is I really...

While i'm well aware that there is a company offering a 6-speed conversion already, I can't help but notice how similar the 6-Speed HBM gearbox is to the GKZ fitted to the A2... Any thoughts...

Well, it isn't pretty. Symptoms are an intermittent lack of power which manifested itself to barely being able to move. No obvious rattles or knocks from the engine. Here are they codes, any ideas? Address 01: Engine Controller: 036 906 013 F Component: MED7.5.11 5130...

Okay, so my FSI Sport has had a misfire on cylinder 3 for a while now, occasionally it will throw a random misfire in there but generally always cylinder 3. I've done the following to try and resolve the issue; Swapped coil pack cylinder 2 for 3, misfire didn't follow the coil pack. Changed...
