    Rattle passenger footwell?

    Good suggestion but I’ve since tried it with the bonnet off and still the same. A real puzzle to find the source of this.👍

    Rattle passenger footwell?

    Hi, I have a light rattle/ vibration which appears to be in the passenger footwell or behind the glove box area? It’s most obvious on tick over but then a slight touch on the throttle pedal and it disappears however it sometimes comes back a bit more as you pull away. Can’t really hear it at...

    Tdi 75bhp won't start

    Took it to ATS this morning and asked them to do a diagnosis test on it. It showed my battery voltage as very low. Its the original battery from 2005 and 155,850 miles later. I’ll see how this works out. Thought a new battery would be a good idea considering it’s the original one. So far all...

    Tdi 75bhp won't start

    Thanks for your reply. I turn the key and give a few seconds for the heater light and ABS to go off and then would normally start it. Turns over happily with no struggle so the battery seems really good. It's odd that normally the ABS light just goes out which this does but even before I turn...

    Tdi 75bhp won't start

    Hi, Came out from work earlier today and went to start the car and I noticed the ABS light went out but came back on immediately and stays on which is unusual. Turns over fine but still won't start. Normally starts first time every time. Is it a safety issue with the ABS on and so its not going...

    Do not go to Halfords Auto Centre Beckenham. Just don't do it!!

    Friend of mine took his car to Halfords for a cam belt replacement a few weeks ago. The very next day his wife said the car has just stopped! Got it recovered and checked over and it was found the tensioner had not been tightened up:eek::oops::mad: They have now accepted responsibility.

    Dip stick broken

    Hi Robin, Yes, all ordered according to the reg number plate, diesel and year etc. The receipt has all the correct info on and I checked it against the original as part numbers are on these are around the top ring. I suppose there's not much call on A2 parts these days so they have to move them...

    Dip stick broken

    I've read on here about broken dip sticks and thought I've been lucky as mine is still the original one and 151k miles on the clock. However, after a long and fast 320 mile trip to Cornwall last week I thought it best to check the oil level. I thought lets check it before the trip back and of...

    Best wheel and tyre set up?

    Thanks for that. I have had a look for these but they seem hard to find? I've been checking on here too from time to time.

    Best wheel and tyre set up?

    I'm looking to change my wheels and tyres and just curious what you consider the best size and set up? Are there any advantages to staying with the standard 16" rims or perhaps going down to 15"? Thanks:)

    Strange Vibration over 60mph

    I wondered that but after they said they changed front with the backs and did balancing and alignment I thought that it would have been fine?

    Strange Vibration over 60mph

    Just recently I have found going over 60/65mph the vibration through the steering wheel is quite bad and going faster just increases it. I had the wheels swapped from front to back and alignment with tracking done but it's still much the same. I also asked them to check if all looked good and...

    What up-to-date dashcam should I consider now I’m in the market for one?

    I know what you mean. I went with Roadhawk HD 8 years ago and it just sits behind the rear view mirror although I have positioned it slightly lower for sd card removal and to see the gps light on without disturbing mirror or camera. In some ways old tech now but it's been excellent.

    Front wheel hum/drone?

    Thanks for all the replies above.:D I'm probably going to a local Garage I've used before as I can't get down this low at my age now;):eek: I will make sure they are aware of the special puller?

    Front wheel hum/drone?

    Hi everyone, I've never had this before so hopefully someone here might have encountered this before on their A2? I have a strange hum/droning sound from the drivers side front wheel when driving but more accurately it seems to be only when driving around right hand bends, even slight ones. It's...
