Have you thought of adding SDS (Voice recognition) while it is being done?
VERY gimmicky but a nice touch.
You may well get some voice commands just with the Bluetooth (if you have a MFSW all the better or you will need a separate switch for the PTT (Push To Talk)
I like the way you can speak a number and it gets it right and dials it, even if it is not one you have recorded.

Thanks for a great day, will be booking in for some much needed work soon as I unfortunately didn't have time in the end to stay longer for scanning etc.
Nice to see the lads getting their hands dirty in the workshop under the watchful eye of Tony, everything else looked pristine though!
Cheers

Just also want to add our thanxs to tony and Petra for a great day out, for our first meet it was excellent, Clair and baby Jacob loved it.
She was also happy with her and baby's pic buy the cartoonist.. And the magician was great loved the fork trick was funny to watch.
Also felt so welcome to the club, soon as we pulled up we started chatting to everyone, also well happy with our new club stickers and badges, and loved the spread tony and Petra put on, very nice food what an effort put in, can't wait to pop in again for chats and coffee.

Thanks to Tony and A2 Cars
Just got back from a trek up to A2 Cars for a major service and all the fluids changed on my FSI. Really impressed with A2 Cars, Tony lives up to his repuation and hype. It's great that there is some where to go where people are passionate about A2s and know everything there is to know.
My car feels a lot better now after it's service, and have a list of things I want to get done next there.
For anyone unsure whether it is worth a long journey to Milton Keynes, I would highly recommend Tony, and echo all the kind words already said here.

A2 Cars MK - Another Fan !
I have owned my A2 (1.4 Petrol) 2001 for around 6 years and have just gone over 151,000 with very few issues. I know everyone harps on about the diesel but the 1.4 petrol has never ever given me any serious mechanic issues.
I fancied taking the car to a real expert this time, especially now the car is getting on in age so decided on A2 Cars as they are fairly close to where I work around Thame area.
Dropped Tony an email with my list of to do's and received a pretty quick response. After a phone call to confirm the booking on Sat 8th August I headed over to A2 Cars.
I must say I didnt know what to expect but I am so glad I decided on using A2 cars.
From entering the garage and see all these A2 cars everywhere ( I think I counted 16 ......maybe more) in various states of up keep and repair (some totally stripped out ).
Tony was a really friendly guy who knocked up my job card insisting all my to do's / requests were no issue whatsoever.
He went to work on my car and would pop back to confirm that the work was progressing nicely. After I had some coffee (nice machine in reception btw ) I popped into the garage area and looked underneath my A2 (I must have been like a kid asking Tony and Jack (Tony assistant) whats this , whats that do , what does this do, it just felt surreal seeing the car on the ramp and taking a really good look at what was underneath ) only to be explained that the car was solid and in really good condition for its age. Tony was clear in what may go in the next year or so and will need to be repaced ........just wear and tear items I was told.
It was missing an undertray which Tony said was no issue to replace and some correct spark plugs (apparently the A2 has different ones to other VWs / 1.4 petrol engine cars ) my niggle list was taken a look at. The steering issue was resolved (not aligned correctly by an Audi garage when the indicator stalk was replaced ) , the door straps were confirmed to still be good and OK , a few interior jobs were tackled (new glove box handle ) plus climate control buttons replaced, door was aligned slightly due to wind noise when driving on the motorway (no job was a big issue) and quickly knocked off. For some of these jobs Tony didn't even charge me.
Tony recommended I go across the road to the cafe when hungry so around mid-day popped in for a hot sausage & egg roll and tea (very nice too) . I spent the rest of my time just wondering around the A2 in his yard thinking how will they recover and repair this (my mind just boggled but Tony & Jack assured me ) these amazing cars would be brought back to life except one which was a write off ! I discussed with Tony that I thought I needed another car to take the 100 mile commute pressure of my pride and joy . Tony said for £2,500 - £3,000 just buy another A2 "you really cannot get a better car for the money " and he's right. What Tony knew about cars and A2's was something special yet he commented , "if I came to your work I wouldn't know anything but I am an expert with cars !" I thought and knew the car was in good hands and such a humble guy. Tony's A2 was a lovely machine and then his wife popped by with her nice blue coloured A2 (the only colour in the UK I was told ) again a really nice motor all polished up , ready for Audi's In The Park on the Sunday.
I suppose without rambling on .....................I cannot recomend A2 cars enough the car drove fantastically well whilst driving back to London (only took just over an hour so not as far as I thought) plus it just seems so smooth since receiving some expert TLC. The service cost was reasonable and whilst waiting it just felt like a day out for me rather than a chore , although all I was doing was getting the car serviced.
Tony was a great guy who I will visit again , soon to get a few mods done I think and just want to give him a good review and thumb ups - another A2 Cars fan.
See you soon Tony

Thankyou Tony, Petra, Jeff and Jeff.
I would just like to say a big thankyou to Tony, Petra, Jeff, Jeff and Jack for a friendly and informative day out at A2 cars.
A new heat shield fitted over the diesel filter.
Jeff and Tony were brave and did the dreaded number plate lights.
....And i got my 7" inch A3 sports wheels fitted.
Plus the front suspension hadn,t been fitted correctly - it is now.
When you see another A2 photograph yours next to it - Jeffs luvly Colbalt blue in for some TLC !

It was a pleasure doing business with you Dave and always a pleasure to see you again, it's good us old folk get out! I think it's important lol!
Hope you had a comfy and safe ride home mate, till the next time!
Cheers Jeff
Big thanks from me a2 cars
Just like to follow up on Daves (Special Editions) comments on A2 cars,
I was met with smiles on my arrival which is always nice and not the 'Oh no it's that fussy bloke again' you quite often get when you pull into your local mechanic!
Nothing is too much trouble for Tony, Petra,.Jeff and Jack, every last detail is explained which is a breath of fresh air if you didn't fully understand the workings of our great little cars!
I had my rear bumper realigned today to rectify the annoying kick out into the rear quarters, expert hands by Tony sorted it in no time, not a quick job as it involved rear wheels, inner arches, rear lights being removed for access, a much improved result and something that had always bugged me! Great job.
Tony also pointed out missing nuts, bolts and pieces of various underside components fitted incorrectly so it was nice to address these issues too,
All in all a thoroughly enjoyable casual day, and after we'd had the full English from the cafè we could take on 'The world'
Cheers one and all I'll be back!
