In short, yes, the A2 does have a firm ride. BUT !!!!! I recently replaced the whole suspension, front and rear (or at least Adam Klyne did for me) The front struts were old and extremely rusty and so it was time. The ride was “crashy” to say the least. After the work was completed I was...

Does anyone know the part number for the fuel sender on a 2003 TDI (larger tank) please ? I need one and have found one but need to be sure that it is not from a car with the smaller fuel tank capacity. Cheers Steve B

Hi Is anyone travelling down to the Staines /Heathrow airport area from around Tom (Timmus) neck of the woods. I am needing someone who could collect and deliver a full dash, please. I will pay the full rate for the trip. Not asking for a favour. Cheers Steve B

I have bought a few auto headlight switches in the past from China and I was just browsing when I had a look at the AliExpress app. Some of the prices were ridiculously cheap and so I thought that I would “test the water”. I ordered Key fob shell Mirror adjust switch 4 window switch unit Two...

Hi Can someone help me please. I want to buy a set of number plate holders but it won’t let me log in. I must have registered years ago. When I hit the forgot password it tells me that an email has been sent to allow me to reset it but no email arrives. If I try to register it tells me that I...

Hi, I really don’t know why I keep changing away from A2s. I only have to get into one and I am hooked again. My wife has a very nice TDI Storm but I don’t get much chance to drive it. But we have just decided to reduce from 2 cars to one. Since my last A2 I have had various Mercedes models...

I had a pleasant surprise today. My wife’s Storm was due its MOT but since it has the BHC engine, the EML comes on often (common problem) unfortunately it came on before the test and so I was expecting a fail. But I had missed the fact that no A2 TDI will ever fail just because of an EML being...

Our daughter wanted an armchair from our neighbour. They tried to get it into a Smart for Four, no way! They then tried it in a Nissan Juke (big on the outside and small on the inside. The opposite of an A2) nowhere near. So I folded the rear seats down in my A2 and it went in with loads to...

I ordered a new wiper for the A2 and it just arrived (next day) BUT This is the wiper box Mandy this is the box that it came in ???????????? Steve B

I am used to the fact that the A2 radio reception is not great, but this time it was bad enough to make me investigate mine. I had noticed in the past that the diversity unit (the one where the wires are behind that little oblong (normally) empty rectangular box in the battery compartment)...

My copy of the TPS Insider just arrived. Not only is the A2 feature in it but it is the double page centre spread. I will post a clearer version shortly. But for now here it is. By the way, if you cut out my picture and stick it on the fridge it will keep the kids out if it!

I simply cannot shake off my A2 addiction no matter how hard I try. I have decided to buy back my silver TDI (once A2Steve’s lovely project car) When I bought it last time it had already a had a LOT of money sprnt on the car and lots of nice improvements. Nathan had also spent time and money...

I was recently contacted about a feature that TPS (volkwagen/Audi) are putting together. They are planning to do a great article on the A2 and they saw the feature on my project A2 in the “Audi Driver” magazine (2016). So I had a long chat with them and sent them lots of pictures etc. They...

As some of you know, I was hoping to buy back my “holy grail” project car (below) Unfortunately the current owner is so happy with it that he has just confirmed that he is pretty sure that he will not be selling it for a long time. This is understandable but bad news for me. I have decided...

I never thought that one would be discovered but it has. it is an A2 that nobody expected to find. Wait for it. It is a fully (and I mean fully) specced 1.6 FSI. Nothing new about that BUT (and it is a BIG BUT) It is a BRAND NEW UNREGISTERED car, that has been kept in storage Mileage on the...

Hi has anyone any ideas how we could get a group buy organised for an alternative engine cover for the TDI. The current fibre one really looks dull and cheap. If we have any budding designers that would consider looking at a nice new alternative I am sure that there would be plenty of...

Hi I find that I basically take the steering on an A2 for granted. Apart from the occasion issues that crop up very rarely, the steering on the A2 is hardly ever mentioned. But to me that is a testament to just how good it is. The steering feel, is spot on, it is light when it needs to be and...

If you want to have the speed limit of the road you are on displayed on the map display on an RNSE it is possible (although I believe that it is only possible on the Mark 2 RNSE but happy to be corrected) As many of you know, I do like my gadgets and this function is GREAT. It comes with the...

Before you spend hundreds to fix this or spend hours trying to adjust the gear change mechanism to cure this think of the following. if you start the car with the clutch depressed or have had it depressed for a while (at traffic lights for example) the gears in the gearbox are not spinning and...

I have been asked to add the full “Audi Driver” magazine feature from 2016. as for copywriter concerns, all of the words and 90% of the pictures were provided by me. A few from Tom (Timmus) too. I hope it is readable. And apologies for having my picture in there. I normally put a picture of...
