    Any A2 owners in Leeds want a free box of gubbins?

    Having a garage clear out and have a random tote box of A2 bits and spares, mostly from my old FSI’s. Don’t have time to look through it, but if any owner can get to Woodlesford in Leeds then its yours, free. There is an A2 jack in there so that alone should be enough for someone to make a tr:)...

    A2 FSI Roadtax

    So for ten years I forked out £120 or so annual roadtax for my lovely A2 FSI. All the while the Diesel owners were let off with the modest sum of £30 annually because their cars are greener. Zoom forward 10 years and I think I have been had...

    Would these rub the arches a little?

    I bought these winter wheels for my 2013 A2 surrogate. I suspect if I fitted them to the A2 then they may rub a smidge. ;-) No serious answers please.

    A2 FSI Clutch slave cylinder replacement.

    Last week my dash warning light came on to warn that brake fluid was low. After ruling out the calipers and the flexible hoses that are common to fail, I scratched my head and looked into the engine bay for leaks. The culprit was the clutch slave cylinder. This part sits on the side of the...

    Northern A2 meet.

    After enjoying the meet up in Birmingham in March, I did say to a few that "it would be lovely to have a meet further North". In the spirit of believing that if it matters, then do it yourself I thought I would kick some ideas around and gauge interest levels for a meet up in...

    Modified A2: Gullwing boot.

    Spent a good morning with YorkshireHill and Timmus sorting out bits of her old car to be available to forum members. Am sure Hilary will post what's available, but it was great to meet Timmus for the first time and also to have an excuse to enjoy a bacon butty at Hilaries...the best in...

    The path to classic status.

    Folks, I am intrigued. I think the A2 might be one of the first cars that has taken its path to classic status in the digital age. I have been on car forums for 10 years or more and what I have seen is that forums change over time. In the first 5 years of a models life they are full of "what...

    Ok so after 7 years of A2 ownership, it was only last week while dismantling a breaker that i realised that the seatbelt top pivot could be adjusted for hight. Please tell me I am not the only person never to have spotted this feature?

    Upgrading rear speakers?

    Its always struck me that the lightweight blaupunkt amp in the drivers footwell would be a ripe candidate for an upgrade. Has anyone ever done this or has any info on how feasable this would be? Aim would be to take the feed from standard sound system and then feed into a replacement amp with a...

    Car out of action!

    Oh dear, car very poorly. Drove to Birmingham yesterday. On way back noticed it was a little noisy in gear. Set off today for work and the car sounds like a landrover with all the diffs locked in and driven at 100mph. VERY noisy gearbox. Car in for repair. What are folks experience of...

    Audi A2 Service light reset.

    Hi, here is a quick video showing how to reset the Audi A2 service light to the fixed interval service. This resets the service light for a fixed amount of miles, or 12 months (whichever is sooner). I change my oil at least every 12 months anyway, so always use this reset method. Hope its...

    How to remove and fit heated wing mirror glass.

    http://youtu.be/Tpq0g131WTw Hopefully helpful video on how to remove and refit glass on ALL Audi A2 cars. All A2's already have the wiring in place to accept a heated element on both sides of the car. The proper Audi glass is a better fit and look, but for £12 a side on Ebay this glass is...

    Number plate light corroded screw replacement.

    Finally got round to replacing the number plate light screws on both my A2's. My suggestion is that everyone should do this as soon as possible if the old screws are still removable. I found these screws in Halfords are a perfect fit: If the old screw shear off then its a fairly big...

    Chat New car in the CHB household!

    I appear to have accidently added a second A2 to the CHB fleet. Its a black 1.6FSI Sport on an 02 plate with 100k on the clock. The car itself is a little tatty. Needs new discs on the front, a new plastic bit for the bottom of the windscreen, a new rear OS light cluster and new check straps...
