Quick and easy question for you all. What size is the locking bolt on an A2 TDI front ball joint? I need to replace a bolt (MOT failure) and I don't need a full ball joint. Any idea what size the bolt is please? Cheers, K.

Hello A2ers :) The OE Concert headunit in my A2 has started doing weird things. Firstly the DIS no longer recognises the radio information so it shows nothing about the music being played (new colour DIS). Secondly the the headunit display constantly fades up and down. It plays ok with no...

I've been driving my A2 for nearly 5 years now and unfortunately it is time for me to move on. So I bought one of these. Volvo V50 1.6DrivE. It's supposed to be near the realms of A2 TDI frugalness, but I'll have to see that to believe it. O and FEAR NOT A2 buddies...my dearly loved A2...

Now I don't like to moan about things and I definitely don't like bad mouthing dealerships, however today I experienced poor customer service at its very best. :confused: Last Wednesday I rang Stratford Audi's Parts department to purchase a cigarette lighter unit. The chap on the phone said...

Question, would something like this fit an A2 (with a decent tyre change of course) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-Audi-spacesaver-wheel-125-70-R18-5x100-pcd-new_W0QQitemZ230437529153QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Rims_Car_Wheels_ET?hash=item35a725a641 I like the idea of VAG 18"...

Whilst trying to work out if 16" New Beetle steels would fit my A2, I found this very useful wheel size site. http://www.bikerlifestyle.co.uk/tech/pcd/pcd.html As I thought New Beetle wheels specs are identical to A2 wheel specs. :D

At long last my car is going to join the hallowed legion of Stealth re-mapped A2's :D I'd promise Vince that when I had the car serviced I'd have the re-map done, however the service has come up a lot sooner than I'd intended (1600 mile early) due to a small oil leak that I want looking at...

Has anybody elses A20C badges worn out? The red bits on mine have faded to a pinkish and one badge is losing the red bit altogether (its pealing off like a Babybel wax wrapper). :( Time for some new ones me thinks.

Picked this up on Saturday, its a 1970 VW Karman Ghia. She's not immaculate or concourse, but she's tidy enough and has a small list of jobs that I need to look at (Steering box play, two small oil leaks, etc etc) :D

15" Pepperpots (ROC Wheels!) Hello. I recently fitted some A3 15" Pepperpot wheels (winter wheels), with 175/60 tyres and they are very comfortable indeed. The main thing I've noticed is how much lighter they are than the stock Sport alloys, but another thing I've noticed is how far inboard...

Will these fit our A2's? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&rd=1&item=390008617808&ssPageName=STRK:MEWA:IT&ih=026 ?

Evening all. :) Ok I love cats, and I love our local cats. But one of the little blighters keeps climbing up my car and kindly leaves micro scratches all over one corner of the bonnet! I think it had trouble last night (freshly waxed a few days before hand), as there seem to be a greater...

Headlight modification (FINISHED!). Hello, For a while I have thought that the A2 headlights could do with a little updating. There is a new Q7 that parks at my place of work and it has inspired me: So having purchasing a good second hand set of Headlights off Ebay (for not too many...

Hello Everyone :), I'm just about happy with how clean my A2 is now (finally bought a Vax and washed the interior). However the only area left are the Instrument Dial lenses. Mine seem to have been previously cleaned with a scouring pad, and there is dust inside the central DIS area. Now...

Hello, I recently took my A2 into Stealth Racing for a few little jobs and alterations: front ARB's, 4 wheel alignment, and gearshift linkage adjustment. Anyway to cut a long story short, the ARBs and 4 wheel alignment went like clockwork, however the 'quick' gear shift linkage adjustment...

I'm currently legging it about in my '69 Elf... ...because the A2 is poorly. :( I had my 'Stiff shift' looked at, but the job has become a lot more invasive than me or the Stealth lads had imagined it would. More news when it returns on Saturday :).

Hello, Has anyone used Mintex brake products on their A2? I run Mintex stuff on my '69 Riley Elf and its pretty good stuff, and I've spotted some Mintex A2 brake products on ebay. Any Mintex/A2 related feedback would be gratefully received. :D Cheers, K.

Hello, So I collected my new A2 yesterday, it involved flying up to Glasgow (from Birmingham), and then driving the little fellow all the way down again. :) It was a stunning trip, and the car performed faultlessly over the 400 miles from Ayrshire to my house in Leamington. Unfortunately the...

I'm about to start looking at A2's again and a few standard base speccers have popped up on my searches. I only experienced my SE for a week but I kind of liked the big fancy sunroof (optional I know), the climate, and the four electric windows. Are the differences between the base spec A2's...

The relationship was a short but sweet affair, but it did open my eyes to the wonders of A2's... Gone but remembered (for lasting only 6 days!) So as soon the refund arrives in my bank account I will be A2 shopping once again :D
