Hello Neil,

Simon above suggests a very good option. Before we can provide further assistance/options can you confirm that you have access to VCDS and that you’re able ti obtain the secret key code (SKC).

Have a look at this link below which explains the coding/pairing process Along with where replacement/spare key blades and fobs can be purchased for not a lot of money:

Adding additional keys- including the new shape key

Hi I thought a summary of the various options might help. To re-pair a key that has stopped unlocking / locking remotely. This one is an easy one. Just switch on the ignition and then press the unlock button on the key that has stopped working (as long as the battery is not flat in the key...

Happy to answer and further questions but if you have none of the software to grab the SKC and subsequently code/pair the immobiliser chips and remote half to the CCCU then Tom @timmus is your best option. He’s not a million miles from you either.

Kind regards,

Tom
 
Distances aside, I’m more than happy to help.
It’s always nice to see fellow club members land at my place, though it’s looking increasingly likely that I will be heading to Scotland in June to work on A2s when @George Hogg hosts his A2 get-together. If that isn’t too far in the future, then a convenient local opportunity is in the pipeline.

In case you haven’t seen it, this thread provides a decent overview of what I do…

you have the classic worn wiper arm problem. @depronman of this parish restores them to eliminate the sloppiness and tendency to scratch the windscreen - I have the fruit of his efforts on all three of our A2s.

Do you have the original (hooked) or late (aeroblade) wiper type? For the originals, fitting a new Bosch AR70 replacement blade raises the mechanism away from the window slightly which can help as a temporary measure before getting a renovated wiper arm.

There's also the issue of the little rubber nipple which fits to the underside of the wiper arm pivot, which normally goes missing after a few years and allows the pivot to remain proud of the glass.

Little taps are nothing to worry about, but watch out for releasing the arm back from a distance (after washing the screen for instance) as the slap back without the nipple may see the glass crack!!

Or a little blob of silicone on the underside of the rivets.

Had a screen let go on her car that just had a little tap, that was until she hit a pot hole and gained a nice 10 inch crack in the screen!!!!
