I received an email from a childrens hospice that I supported when I was working but had to cut off when I retired. In this current crisis they are struggling to keep supporting the children with life limiting illnesses. They have asked me to raise some money through sponsorship related to the...

I have been trying to convince my daughter to buy hardhat72`s lovely grey 1.4tdi for when she passes her test. Sadly she has decided on a VW Fox 1.4 petrol. If anyone has any experience of one of these I would be grateful for any tips.

After twelve years of ownership and three TDi`s it is time to move on and yes I know that I most certainly will miss the A2. They have had the odd annoying little niggle like misty headlights and ineffective wipers but over all what a brilliant little car. I am on the hunt for the replacement...

I know that I do not need the radio code card and that the radio will automatically re-sync to the car however I have a small problem. Somehow I have managed to get two sets of operating instructions with the Radio Card attached. As I am thinking of selling the car I would like the right...

Local garages are saying they cannot source the oem parts but that they will effect the repair if I get the parts but with absolutely no warranty whatsoever. Audi are quoting me £857 with oem parts and a warranty on the repairs. As the car is fifteen years old and done 155k is it really worth...

The latest MoT has an advisory on surface corrosion to suspension arms. I have not had time to get it up on a jack and take a look yet but when I do it would be good to apply some remedial treatment. What would be the best course of action to minimise further corrosion?

I missed all of the posts regarding the jack supplied with the car being not quite up to the job. I used mine for the first time in about 10 years of A2 ownership and was appalled at just how bad it is. It will certainly never be used again,I managed to borrow a trolley jack to change all the...

Now that I have put the pepperpots on I have four of these that I no longer need and they are in dire need of a complete refurb. Looking at refurb prices and the fact that I will not need them again would it be better just to scrap them? I was after one this style for a spare and never managed...

Just got a phone call from the garage to say that the headlight motor is not working and it has failed the MoT so I have to have a new motor. I did not think that was part of an MoT check, just that the headlights needed to be adjusted correctly,is that right? Fifty quid plus vat plus labour to...

I want to change to pepperpots and have found a set from an A3 with 195/65/R15 tyres fitted. I have looked at the specs listed on this site but this size is not listed for the A2. Will I be able to use them or will I need to buy a set of new tyres?

I did a battery replacement on my last A2 a few years ago with this Varta F18 110 and was very pleased with it. On shopping for a new battery for my present A2 I found this Tayna site on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/272907858944 However on checking compatability it tells me that this battery...

As I have the glove box dropped to work on the blower I thought that I would replace the pollen filter at the same time. Looking on the net there are so many to choose from ranging in price from £8 to £35. Is there a best buy good quality pollen filter that anyone can recommend? thanks Ian

First frosty morning this year for us and temperature at 0 degrees. Put the air con on to get a bit of warmth and the bars indicating fan speed showed but after a few seconds went away and I could not hear any fan noise. Tried again when stopped and I can hear a feint clicking sound in the dash...

Are there any known A2 specialists for servicing and repairs in the North Devon area?

My new computer should arrive today to replace my ageing Samsung laptop. I will need to transfer all the info on the Samsung to the new one but I am not at all sure how to achieve this. Can I just use the external hard drive that I use as a back up on the Samsung to do the transfer or is it more...

I am being tempted by an A3 S Line with the panoramic roof. Does anyone know if the roof mechanism suffered from the same problems as the A2 Opensky. If so maybe I should look at the Cabriolet.

I took the latest A2 on a 700 odd mile round trip up to Sussex and back after having the car serviced,cam belt/water pump and brakes done. On both my previous A2`s the temp gauge has always stood rock steady and dead upright on 90 once warmed up. This one fluctuates depending on traffic...

I have lost the line in lead to my x car link.The one with the 3.5 jack to one end and the little square plug to the other end. Does any one have one that that do not use that they can sell to me?

The black spoiler on my latest A2 is losing paint and showing the metal beneath quite badly. It looks like someone balanced and possibly spilt a tin of something aggresive on the spoiler and it has left a circular patch. This has grown outwards and other areas are also now starting to lose the...

Please could someone in the know tell me if this steering wheel will be suitable for my `05 1.4 tdi. thanks http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mk1-Audi-TT-225-Black-Leather-Steering-Wheel-And-Airbag/162561643999?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649
