    BBY exhaust (CAT back)

    Smurf (2004 BBY) is in need of a replacement exhaust. I'm aware of the custom options though does anyone know of an off the shelf supplier? There are exhausts available for 34l fuel tank though I gather these are different to BBY / 42l exhausts. Any information appreciated.

    Spanner meeting in Central Scotland.

    Finally spoken to the garage owner regarding the use of space and lifts. He has agreed in principle to us using the place on a Saturday. The German forum A2-freun.de was the inspiration behind this. I gather they use this as a knowledge and skill sharing process whereby owners that can assist...

    Transponder light flashing - both keys

    The owner of the cobalt TDI I sold has been in touch to ask for help regarding transponder symbol flashing. Both keys are doing this as of this morning so unlikely to be transponder failure and more likely pickup coil or something else. He's far enough away that I can't diagnose hence any help...

    Project Joe

    I need to stop looking at A2 sale ads though they turned out my new project this week. A poorly Akoya popped up locally. It's suffering from a blown EGR cooler pipe which I'm struggling to find a new replacement for.

    Project Bo - blue colour storm

    Mrs Incredible authorised, nay, requested a blue A2. Apparently the two Cobalt A2s she already owns weren't enough. Soon enough one appeared and we collected her yesterday. Bo is a 2004 TDI SE Colour Storm with some service history though had been neglected (in recent years at least). I've...

    Additional remote programming in Central Scotland please

    Looking for assistance to program an additional remote (and key/transponder if possible) for the mrs TDI. Her remote has a habit of not working which I suspect may be a sign of CCCU issue (I have a spare if req'd). Unfortunately the cable I use for VCDS is missing (though I do have an mpps cable...

    Wife's car written off

    Thankfully neither of her A2s (her Focus, current daily driver) so her TDI is returning to service sooner than planned which means I have to organise a trouble free Bluetooth hands free device. I've tried visor mounted and various plug in devices without gaining approval so I think it'll have to...
