Not posted for a while as been mega busy with work and decorating. However, Adam and I (mostly Adam) found time to finally install the double din dash that we had retrimmed during July this year. During this process we changed all the AC sensors behind the dash and added RNSE, an Audi Bluetooth...

Spent some time removing scratches from my daughters car today. Ebony looks fantastic when clean: Ian

Adam and I have been here for four and a half years now, I remember donating early on but I would like to donate again. I looked under our user name and can only see account upgrades, which takes me to the market place fee,. So how do I donate again please? Thank you Ian

Hi all, We received a set of custom grey dials for the A2 today. Before I put them in, I think it would be a good idea to know how to use VCDS to calibrate the dials correctly. Does anyone know how to do it? Thanks

First MOT today on my daughters project car. It’s been off the road since last October, Adam and I have done pretty much everything to get it up to standard. Bought as a £500 car with many issues, but decent starting spec (Bose, 4x electric windows, climate and OSS), this is now a really good...

Some may remember, a couple of years back, we had the seats in Adams A2 covered in leather/Alcantara, at the same time we had aftermarket carbon heated pads installed. Since then we have struggled to get the pads to work with the OEM heated seat rollers. The back rest and the base of the seat...

In case this helps anyone in the future Adam and I changed the gear selector tower on our new family member today. We've had this car in the family for a month and it was purchased for £500 with 117K miles and a dodgy gear selector. There are many other faults, but we are gradually working...

Hi all, Does anyone know the correct resistance value for the NTC thermistor in a genuine heated seat? I've heard many things such as 6.8kOhm and 5kOhm, but does anyone have the actual value that they know is correct? Thanks, Adam

Hi all, Been trying to find an answer to this for a week or so, and I've found conflicting information. So I'm after a definitive answer, will MK1 TT heated seat pads fit A2 sports seats? I know the connectors are the same, I mean the physical fit of the pads. If they don't fit, does anyone know...

As some may have seen in the today I... thread, Adam and I have been using our time wisely to change the rear axle on his 1.4i. We have an FSi breaker on the driveway which obviously has a rear disc axle, so this was the donor axle. We purchased the following parts: New rear brake lines 2 x...

Hi all, Has anyone had any experience with these? If they're any good I'm thinking I might get myself some. Mine are good, but the steel ring was painted when I had my wheels refurbished, so I'd like some new ones if possible. Thanks

Hi all, I'm currently in the middle of refurbishing front calipers for my A2, and I was wondering where the best place to buy caliper seals is, any suggestions? Thanks

Hi all, Just a quick question, is there anyone down near Heathrow or London that has a copy of VAG-Com, and would be willing to do a couple of things via the software for me? I bought what was advertised as used genuine software and genuine cable on Facebook, however, after it not working...

Hi all, I'm planning on changing the gearbox oil on my 1.4 petrol when I next change the oil, which should be in the next few weeks. So, I've browsed the forums trying to find something on the petrol models, and I've not found a lot to be honest. I have found that the correct oil for the TDIs...

Hi all, This has happened to me a few times since owning the car, so I thought I'd ask. When I go on a motorway or any road that I need that sort of speed for, obviously, more revs are needed to get up to speed. So, when I reach about 4500 revs, my dashboard always lights up like a Christmas...

Hi all, I've been driving Uma a lot recently, doing about 40 miles a day. I've had this problem since I got the car, however, It's never really bothered me. Today especially, but also since I've been driving her more, I have noticed that the problem has become increasingly worse. The problem I'm...

Hi all, I have had a loss of power problem ok my 1.4 petrol when going 70+mph for prolonged periods of time for a few months now, and thanks to a scan, I now know that it's the fault of the MAP sensor. Does anyone have any recommendations for a replacement part, or is it worth going for a...

Last one, I promise. I'm putting wires into the ECU for cruise, but some of the places already have wires in them, do I need to put both wires into the same pin? Thanks

Hi all, I'm currently in the process of installing cruise control in little Uma, I've put the stalk in and thanks to @Cronus7 I have the diagram of where to put the wires in the white socket. However, I'm left puzzled by the other wire, most on here say to plug it into the brake light switch...

Bought this little beaut to keep Adams A2 company.
