    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

    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...

    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?

    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

    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...

    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...

    Windscreen washer pump location

    Hi everyone, Well, my washer pump is not working today. I assume the pump doesn't have it's own fuse? Wipers are working fine but back to my question about it's location? It looks as though its tucked away behind the Headlamp so does this mean I can access it by removing the headlamp? Many...

    Cam belt + service?

    Hi All, Just had a new cam belt & water pump fitted yesterday. Plus new drive belt with oil and filter service and overall check. Discs and pads next time around. Does the cost of £443 sound reasonable. I thought it did but wondered about your views? :D Nigel

    News A2 on tv

    Hi all, Just watching an episode of Jack Ryan S2 on TV and spotted this A2 in the action:D. What made it catch my attention was it has a 10 reg plate on it as you can see? Looking at the front you can also see it has the early smooth maintenance flap. Either way good to see a Audi A2 getting...

    What best to check?

    Hi, My partners A2 Tdi seems to have a lot of rattles and bonking noises coming from the front end when driving around Herne Bay. The reason I mention Herne Bay is that the roads are atrocious. So many potholes! uneven roads and bumps you wouldn't believe! My A2 gets thrown about too but I don't...

    Information Air bag light on UPDATE

    After fitting my 3 spoke steering wheel yesterday I noticed the air bag light on this morning? It probably was on yesterday but I didn’t drive the car out so missed it on? Is this normal after a s/wheel change that needs resetting? Fitted a new s/wheel air bag loom for the 3 spoke as the 4 spoke...

    Before and after

    I got my 3 spoke back from Royal Steering wheels after having it recovered. Fitted it in within 40 minutes after Parcelforce delivered it this afternoon. I still like the 4 spoke but the 3 spoke gives the A2 a more exciting finish:D

    Connects2 CTAADBT003 Audi A2 question

    Anyone fitted the Bluetooth Connects 2 radio adaptor? Fitted mine a few days ago and the Bluetooth is streaming very well from my iPhone but the 3.5mm Aux lead input from a early iPod doesnt play anything? I assume if it's connected it would pick it up or is there something you have to do to...

    Information Bose install?

    I have spotted a few A2 Bose systems for sale on eBay. How involved are they to install and what would be a good price for this? I’m careful what I buy and assume most of these are from breakers yards on eBay so they might have been, let’s say, potentially heavy handed on removal perhaps?☺️

    Replaced my Concert radio with a Sony

    Last Wednesday I went to Halfords and had a Sony DSX-A410BT radio fitted which had usb, bluetooth and aux input. I thought to myself this is an amazing upgrade! No it was not. No comparison to the original Concert radio at all so I took it out the very next morning and re-installed my Audi...

    Air bag plug connection release?

    Well I now have my 3 spoke wheel ready for recovering. Quick question! How do you release the central yellow airbag connection as the plug has a broken bit on it? I want to use my existing wiring connector on my car when I replace my 4 spoke wheel and airbag. I was reluctant to start tugging at...

    Preferred steering wheel, 3 or 4 spoke ?

    Just interested to know what is your preferred A2 steering wheel design, 3 or 4 spoke? I do like the design of the 3 spoke with the inner sculptured styling but feel the 4 spoke feels more Audi-like? Not sure quite what I mean there but probably because I've seen more Audi's with the 4 spoke...
