Hi Everyone, Have wanted an A2 for years, almost bought one brand new about fifteen years ago, but ended up buying a Golf GTI instead
. Anyway, late one evening about six weeks back whilst browsing Ebay a new listing suddenly appeared: Audi A2 1.4TDI, one lady owner from new, full service history, pristine condition, Azure blue. All my boxes duly ticked. Only one problem, it was 180 miles away in Cornwall. Next morning, after a chat with the seller, it was straight off to Cornwall with the missus. Four hours later I am gazing upon a beautiful Azure blue, Audi A2 and I'm immediately smitten. The deal is done and off we go. However, driving the A2 home I noticed that the steering felt slightly vague, so the following day I popped it into my local VW/Audi specialist for a check-up. Turns out that the garage that had recently fitted a new steering rack had forgotten to fully tighten the securing bolts. Browsing this super forum over the past few weeks has subsequently provided me with the necessary knowledge to successfully fit an Xcarlink bluetooth module. There are a couple more items on my wish list: rear parking sensors, auto door locking, and possibly a remap. Also, I have recently noticed a problem with the central locking: The key fob locks all doors except the driver's and also does not set the alarm. I can lock all the doors with the key and set the alarm, but if I subsequently unlock the doors with the fob all the doors unlock except the driver's door. Any ideas? Thanks.
