Possibly the plastic mounts that contained the lower nuts have sheared off and not been replaced.
My A2 has that issue, I assume due to cross threading or rust not allowing the bolts to release and someone being forceful. In my case they attempted to re-attach them but whatever adhesive was used failed.
On my list of repairs to-do, I plan on reusing the plastic mounts if possible or bond in new nuts if not. From memory the way the plastic sheared on mine left very little evidence that they were there there.

When I replaced my battery (first time from new) I found one of my nuts cross threaded. Must of happened in the factory working at speed and using power tools. PaulA2 provided me with a spare fastener and I guess I probably used epoxy to fix it.

That's a feature rich A2 you have - an excellent find. May you have many km of happy motoring in it.

Funny how I can remember these events in great detail............but not 'If I had a shower yesterday'. Wife's solution to that little conundrum is to 'have a shower every day'
 
Does anyone know if it is an easy swop to replace the entire plastic box that houses everything below the bottom hatch (ie battery, jack, subwoofer etc)? Are the plastic box identical for all models and regardless options such as subwoofer?
 
I think I read that it is bonded in place and the jist I got was do-able but involved. I decided against replacing mine and plan to use plasbond to reattach my mounts.
(My A2 turned out a project the more I got into it)

Hehe did not realize that the box is actually part of the structure ref photos in that german tread!

I will have a new look at the car this weekend to figure the outstanding items out
 
I'm pretty sure (although not positive) that there are a couple of different layout configurations plus the Bose set up which is different again, so maybe three ?

I've never noticed any differences. On all the occasions that I've retrofitted optional extras that include that area of the car, I've never run into any problems. The only thing I've noticed is that some A2s don't have the threaded brass inserts for the spare wheel bracket.

Cheers,

Ran a scan on the car: two faults that re-occurs. First for engine (AMF) and the seconds for HVAC.

1 Fault Found:
16485 - Mass Air Flow Sensor (G70)
P0101 - 35-00 - Implausible Signal
Readiness: 0 0 X X X

1 Fault Found:
00818 - Sensor for Evaporator Outlet Temperature (G263)
30-00 - Open or Short to Plus

The G263 is not critical and based from various threads in here, latest by @Joga an absolute pig to replace.

The MAF however is a little more interesting. The car runs just fine. No engine-lights neither. MAF is the sensor on the air intake easily accessible on the side of the engine?
What is somewhat interesting, is that previous owner had the car at Audi in 2015 (50kkm ago) for a check after the glowlight came on (steady). Audi writes in their report that "an internal fault is revealed in the ECU but car is still fully drivable, but car can stop unexpectedly. The faulty ECU can also have an impact on other parts, and now the communication to MAF is faulty. The ECU should on longterm be replaced"

The Audi statement appears to be complete nonsense?

That should probably read £90.00 maf sensor or ECU (£1000) tell them it needs the later

Now I think that’s had pretty much every option ticked. The one that really interests me though is the luggage hook up by the grab handle. I think that’s linked to a type of retractable passenger area shield or similar. I’d have to look at the brochure again though.

The owner before the previous owner suddenly found the partition net and posted it to me. Never seen any other A2 with this option, and looking into the norwegian price list dated 2002, this was a modest 1330NOK option (100 quid). Very cool I must say.
