    Again, thanks for the info. Did you make a note of the fault code, by any chance?

    Airbag light on

    Coincidentally, I've just replied to a PM from @JoshPastars asking whether he'd had a diagnostic scan performed. Thanks @Ami. This arms me with a helpful clue about where the issue lies and therefore what I'll need to remedy the issue. :) Cheers, Tom

    A2OC Start of Season Meal - Saturday 30th March 2024

    Thanks T. I’m pleased to write that I’m not in much pain at all. It’s now been 2 weeks since surgery (where has the time gone!?) and the acute pain has subsided to a gentle achy discomfort. I am assured by the physiotherapists that my recovery is ahead of the general curve; due to being fit and...

    A2OC what a community...

    Many thanks for your post and general positivity, Mike @MCMF. It was great meeting you a few weeks ago. I’m sorry that I was in quite a rush and therefore didn’t have time to chat socially as much as I’d have ideally liked. Although I’ve been doing so for a long time, I still get huge...

    A2OC Start of Season Meal - Saturday 30th March 2024

    I’d very much like to attend, but I am unfortunately unable to drive at the moment - even the idea of depressing a clutch pedal with my left leg makes me wince - and Jessica is covering emergencies at the vet practice over the weekend so is unable to provide chauffeur services. It’s a shame to...

    Sad news

    I’m so sorry, Graham. Losing one’s life partner is something that many of us fear more than anything else, and it saddens me to know that you’re going through that right now. If we could all wick away your hurt, we’d do so gladly. With deepest condolences, Tom

    Hella to everyone from Abruzzo (Italy)

    Ciao, Anto. Welcome to A2OC. My sister and I climbed Corno Grande, the highest peak of Abruzzo, in the winter of 2019. I still think about this ascent regularly, but have not visited Abruzzo again since. I think it must be one of the most beautiful areas 'down the leg' of Italy. One day, I will...

    Another stuck passenger door problem!

    Yes, I do... Exactly this. Hack your way into the electrical half of the lock (the black plastic housing that you can just about access from inside) and operate the deadlock manually. Exactly. From my original post in this thread... It may be worth sourcing an entire replacement lock (they...

    Another stuck passenger door problem!

    Hi @smilesbernard, Where in the country are you, may I ask? I've obviously not looked at this paticular problem with my own eyes and therefore cannot offer a definitive diagnosis. However, based on the information available, I strongly suspect that the deadlock motor itself has died and that...

    Timmus Audi A2 Upgrades, Retrofits and Repairs

    Haha! You're not the first to notice this. It's a hot chocolate, most of which was drunk by Jessica. As you rightly say, my favoured drink is in the jug. For those who aren't aware, I dislike both tea and coffee (hot leaf juice and bitter bean juice, as they're comically called). Thank you...

    Problems with key or immobilizer coil (plus evaporator

    It is not possible to separate the immobiliser pickup coil from the ignition barrel. The only proper way to resolve this problem is to fit a new lockset to the car. I appreciate that there's a satisfaction to researching and resolving an issue yourself, but if you want a low-cost, low-effort...

    Timmus Audi A2 Upgrades, Retrofits and Repairs

    Hello folks, Operation completed successfully. I was a total space cadet for some hours after the general anaesthetic, hence my somewhat vacant expression in the photo below, but am now back at home and starting the road to recovery. Doubtless there are people reading this who've had much more...

    A2 Tdi 2003. Loss of power when cold ABS and Yellow Triangle on! All clears once engine is warm and drives normal. Very confused, please help.

    I have found that cleaning the single external connector and the three internal connectors does improve matters …but only ever temporarily. You may get a few thousand miles before symptoms start again. The injector wiring loom has a hard life. The major effort is accessing the thing, meaning it...

    A2 Tdi 2003. Loss of power when cold ABS and Yellow Triangle on! All clears once engine is warm and drives normal. Very confused, please help.

    I’ve dealt with misfiring TDIs loads of times. @MoMo’s experience clearly suggests that injectors do fail. Of course they do; it’s a mechanical system. However, I have never cured a misfire by changing an injector. Every single time that this fault has been placed beneath my nose, a replacement...

    Good afternoon, folks. The magnetic resonance image below shows my left knee from the side. The pink arrow is pointing at a small fragment of bone that has broken away from the back of my kneecap, leaving behind an obvious crater in the back of the kneecap. The fragment of bone is still...

    Thank you! I climbed Gran Paradiso in 2020, but am not especially familiar with its surrounding national park. I also have not been over the Col de l'Iseran, so shall have to add these places to my list. :) The photo below shows the view from the summit of Gran Paradiso towards Grivola. Most of...
