As part of the sapce box you get this rear box included with cupholders (http://www.audi-a2.co.uk/europe24.htm). My (maybe stupid) qustion is thus: can the rear seats still fold normal with this in place? How much is this box from Audi?

Hi,
this cupholder is in Germany part of the "multibox- system".
That means, the spacefloor box and the clip-on cupholder box with integrated storage box is one set.
It is it not possible to fold up the rear seats with the mounted middle area cupholder box ! :(
But its very easy to remove the part.
Some pictures about this see European owners gal. no. 24 (my Audi A2).

Best regards

Thanks Alu2000... that is why I used your picture page as a reference. ;) I won't buy the cupholder box then. I love the fact that I can tumble the seats without having to remove the headrests. Having to remove cupholders to do that is not worth it. I rarely have people in the back anyway... Thanks

Removing the cupholders to fold the seats takes all of about 2 seconds. The box is held in place by a mounting bracket and you just push a button to release it and lift it out. Believe me, still get one, it's very handy and just slots in and out VERY easily. Cost me about £32 inc VAT.

hmmm... sounds to good to be true... maybe I must just do it then... I had two friends only 3 weeks complaining that they did not have such nice cupholders as we had in the front!!!

Thanks

That's a good price, I paid £32+VAT from my Audi garage :(

Regards fitting, now I've got my camera (and I've still got to fit the rear bracket properly) I'll do it this weekend and send the photos in for everyone. I have still got the fitting instructions the Audi garage gave me, so I'll try to take a photo of those (or scan them) so you can see what's involved.

BTW Stu, do I not get a commission from VAGPARTS for them using MY photo? ;) I guess I'd better get that 10% discount then!

Sorry about that - they did ask me last night and I should have asked you then - was going to email you tonight when I get home. I can provide them with a different photo if you'd prefer.

Only joking Stuart, no problem with them using it if we keep getting the discount. Just glad I vacuum cleaned the floorwell first!

:D EVERY A2 ( and I think actually every Audi) is already wired for heated mirrors. Take your mirrors off and you will see the wires just hanging there with nothing to do... so go to mr audi and buy a pair of heated mirrors (just the glass) for less than £60 and viola: you have HALF a winter pack! They work perfectly in winter by switching on automatically below 5 degrees or when you switch the rear demister on (the manual says this is not the case, but when I drive in the rain now, I switch the demister on and in 3 minutes the mirrors are clear...)


As to the box... thanks guys... I'll go buy a beige on for my black car! [}:)] Just kidding... I'll get a black one!

Shezlee, wrt the rear bolts, did you just poke through the carpet, or did you remove the rear seats to be sure? Was there anything already in the holes or were they just empty?

Ade,
you need to remove the rear seats, lift the carpet and remove two bolts, these hold the seat bracket in place, then you poke the new bolts through the carpet in to the now clear holes.

I should get the photos back soon so will send them to stuart with some words..

Johann,

Thats fantastic news. I thought you had to buy the wiring loom which would cost hundreds to fit.

Thanks for the info !!!

Well, finally got some time today to try to fit the rear bracket. Removed the rears (for the 1st time ever, surprised me how easy it was) and easily got straight to the screws and thought 'b****r, what kind of head is that on that bolt?'. I guess I need to buy some 'star' screwdrivers then as I only have the standard philips/crosshead stuff.

Hey, ho, nearly there. I guess I might ask Mr. Audi to pop outside and undo it for me when I go past next time instead.

Ade,
OOPS. should have said.
I used a security bit T-40 Stright sides (they do a tapered set and would have rounded the bolts)
same tool for removing old bolts as fitting the new bolts
