    Excessive Negative Camber - TDI Sport (90HP)

    My A2 TDI Sport (90HP) has been wearing down the inside edges of the front tyres since I got it 35K miles ago and I am on my 3rd set of fronts (205/40/ZR17s). I took it to the garage this morning to get the tracking checked as they have a very accurate 4W computer set up. They measure it and...

    Overhaul of Front Suspension.

    Its finally time to overhaul the front suspension of my 1.4TDI Sport (90Hp) as the ride is almost rigid at the front, plus the inside edges of front tyres constantly wear down to the canvas. I suspect the front dampers and alignment so I am thinking of Monroe Reflexes but called Audi yesterday...

    Replacing the Thermostat

    Noticed for about 6 months that the engine (1.4TDI 90HP) never actually reaches normal running temperature. In fact it takes about 30 miles to get within 20% of normal temp. I suspect the thermostat is stuck open as the fuel consumption has got slightly worse too. Can someone confirm where the...

    Beware - changing wheel and tyre sizes....

    There seems to be a lot of members on this forum who have changed wheels sizes and tyres sizes for a number of reasons, no less that making the ride better if your A2 Sport is running 17” wheels. My A2 sport suffers the same harsh ride, all be it has been great improved with the fitment of a new...

    Best tyre for 17"s

    I am currently running Pirelli P-Zeros on my 1.4TDI Sport and need to think about replacing them as they are wearing out and the ride is getting worse. I currently have been running some Falken 452's on my 350Z and have found these to be very good for road use. Anyone else had experience with...

    Brembo brake covers

    Has anyone fitted these to their A2? More to the point do they fit the A2 (90Hp version)?

    75HP & 90HP Gearing

    Just bought a A2 tdi 90hp in really nice condition on Friday. During the test drive I noticed the gearing seemed to be longer legged than my previous A2 75hp version I owned back in 2003. Is this me or has the gearing or final drive ration been changed on the 90hp version?

    75Hp & 90Hp Differences (1.4 TDI)

    Could someone confirm, or point me to a source that describes what is different between the 1.4 TDI 75Hp & 90Hp versions. Is it just extra boost or are there other engine and chassis differences as well. I think the rear brakes are upgraded from drums to discs. Thanks

    Idle speed in a 1.4TDI Sport - Confirmation Please

    Hi, I have been an A2 owner back in 2003 for 2 years and time has come to track down another one only this time for my 17 year old daughter who is currently learning to drive. I looked at a 1.4TDI Sport today which had a few (repairable) things wrong with it, but I noticed the idling speed when...
