Hi,
Its my first post having recently bought an A2 (2004 1.6 FSI SE Colour.Storm). Initial impressions are that its a great little car,- a real design classic and many thanks to this club / site for helping to inform our decision to buy one.
I drove the car last night after my wife had been using it during the day (without any apparent issues) and noticed within a few metres a knocking sound that seemed to come from the wheels / suspension. I stopped the car and sure enough one tyre was under-inflated (0.5 bar). I checked for nails etc in the tyre but couldn't find any and pumped it back up and noticed it deflate slowly over the next few hours.
This morning, the plan was to pump the tyre up and drive to the local tyre centre (just down the road) and have it replaced. However with the tyre fully inflated I still got the knocking sound. From a visual inspection the tyre centre couldn't locate the puncture and didn't have a matching tyre in stock to replace it anyway. Any thoughts re the knocking? Could the wheel itself be deformed?
