I think what you've describing is an audible cracking noise, which is different to the physical cracking of the metal around the hinge points on the front doors of our A2s. Your noise will be caused by the door check strap, which is well documented on A2OC and is a relatively easy and cheap repair.my 2001 A2 TDI has just very recently started making a "cracking" noise 2 to 3 in succession as i open the driver's side door...
this is a completely different "cracking" that what you guys are talking about? or does the crack in the metal make your door make a cracking sound when you open it too?
Hi I do indeed offer remanufactured door check straps. They are better than the Audi originals in that I replace the plastic rollers with brass ones and the aluminium rivets with aircraft grade stainless steel bolts They will outlast your A2 if a little white geese is applied a couple of times a year
They are £25 each and currently I have stock available. I do need your old one returned though
Drop me a pm if you want more info
Btw Steveb got my user names slightly wrong suspect autocorrect was to blame
