So as a result of my recent MOT advisory stating that I had excessively rusty discs at the front I took the opportunity to replace today given it wasn't raining for a change. I did the driver's side without issue but upon tightening the ns the top caliper pin at the point of tightening decided...

So a few weeks back I had a seized cabin fan issue where I removed, cleaned up and put the fan back in. I got an Airbag light on which cleared down fine but now its reappeared and wont clear. I'm aware the airbag sits above the glovebox and I'm guessing we've done something to disturb it. I'm...

Sorry for silly question but I've read Sarge's how to on the blower and everything is out bar the top left screw. If anyone has done this how on earth did you get to the top left screw? I fully appreciate sarge mentions that it's doable with patience but I think she's left town :) Cheers

Hi - rear brake seizure yesterday on nearside - after much agitation I managed to get the caliper removed to find one of the slider pin boots had a hole in it - presumably the reason why the brakes seized on. Likely been like this since the handbrake cables were replaced last year and only now...

After being prepared to replace the pump a couple of years ago then finding out it wasn't faulty, the pump now has indeed started to leak. Looking at the options id rather avoid the faff of fitting a Bosch pump as it looks like I can't find a spacer from a breaker. Luk don't look too be...

Anyone know if there is a way to dismantle the front grill into constituent parts without breaking? Trying to take the inside part off so I can access behind the chrome rings. Thanks

So I'm trying to look at buying a system to carry a couple of bikes on the roof as I cant buy anything at the moment for my other car as tesla dont care it seems after you've bought a car....anyway! I've looked around and the one system I did find looks to use 754 feet but i cant find any...

Ok so I'm struggling a little to understand where I can go with this one. I recently posted a few questions around alternator - I've now replaced and cleaned up the earth leads on starter. Its improved starting a little but the car doesnt burst into life in the way I'd expect. There is no...

Hello Not been on a great deal of late for many reasons, but 1 of which is in not using the A2 as much as I was. Anyway I'm looking for suggestions please on what options I have with what appears on the have of it to be an alternator issue on a tdi90. 2 years ago I replaced my factory...

So Crewe Audi have confirmed that handbrake cables are NLA. Any suggestion on good aftermarket alternatives?

I've recently fitted TT competition alloys to my tdi90. I've had the wheels balanced 3 times now and cant seem to get rid of a very slight wobble at motorway speeds. I'd normally put this down to wheel balancing but you start to question at the 3rd attempt right? :) So wheels aren't 100%...

I'm trying to get a few jobs done over the next couple of days. I've thankfully verified that the knocking noise looks to be the OS outer CV joint which I'll tackle tomorrow...have ordered a small loctite 270 3ml from ecp to avoid future fretting. Anyhow I'm waffling...i changed the intercooler...

Sorry done a quick search but cant find. Dumb question but just changing rear springs to lift rear of car up and putting originals back on. Are the colour dots towards the bottom I assume? Dont want to put them on upside down :)

Noticed when putting my under tray back on a couple of weeks back that I'm beginning to see oil on the bottom of the intercooler - as always once you fix something then another issue makes itself known. Now I know that the Timmus option is a potential but I'm looking at options only right now...

I'm currently scratching my head trying to safely separate the lower ball joint from the carrier without damaging the boots as they are under a year old. I'm trying to fit a new cv joint and it appears that unless you remove the wishbone you cant get the room to remove the cv joint from the...

I've found various cheap VW mk4 golf, bora and A3 rear bush axle install tools out there but none like wise for the A2. Looking at the bush specs for the range it appears the length and circumference of the bushes are the same but the inner thread size of the bush appears to be 1mm bigger on...

I'm trying to diagnose and rectify some minor issues with some sloppiness in the gearbox along with some issues going from 5th to 4th. I see these as being distinctly different topics with potentially different fixes. I've discussed the issue in some detail with @depronman and to describe...

I'm looking for some recommendations on drop links it seems. I currently use Pro Sport adjustable drop links at the maximum length setting and I'm now about to buy my third set in 3 years. Truly terrible quality but I'm somewhat restricted due to the choice it seems. I tried Meyle HD last year...

Has anyone tried these? Do they work. Have to say they look dodgy to me but maybe someone has better info to hand! camber adjustment shims Realised they potentially only add camber and not toe...

My personal experience of the lockdown is that its both challenging from a cost and storage perspective. I was due to have the turbo and tandem pump changed but the lockdown came into play just before I could have this done. Since then I've bought a DMF, clutch and parts around this. The car...
