Little One

Steve, those clips were not a problem, but to slide it out with the plug attached, I couldn't do it. And I couldn't unplug it either, it was impossible to press both clips on the plug at the same time, there was no space to do that.

Doesn't matter, everything works just fine, who cares about two tiny pieces of plastic.

And to slide the whole thing somewhere back, I guess I could do it, but I prefer to have it easy to reach, just in case.

That's why I devised a perfect custom anti-rattle kit :)

True, the A2 looks like it was made yesterday, people who asked me about it could not believe that this is almost 13 year old car.
 
The best reaction I had was at an Audi dealer where I had gone for parts.

All of the sales team came out to look at it and even both receptionists.

I was overwhelmed by their compliments, especially from those that had not seen an A2 close up. By the way, this wasn't "the project" I was in my wife's tdi 90 that is completely standard apart from the "Non-factory" white colour change!!

They all commented on how modern it looks.

That was a surprise., especially since it is only 10 years ago that they would have had them in the showroom.

You should have taken your car, they would have had a meltdown :)
 
155000 km om the counter. Oil and filters service done in Germany. Before they do anything they inspect the car in and out together with the customer, I like that a lot, specially because I have chance to take some photos under the car...
