repair

Hi guys, Been a minute, hope everyone's well. The time has come to make a decision, and I need some advice. I've had a wonderful year with Jim the FSI, but we've had some bad luck - the brake servo is malfunctioning. It's been nearly 3 weeks since he's been off the road with this issue, and...

Hi folks, Yesterday I got a very slight grind from the front end then the dash desided to light up with three warning lights triangle with circle round it, the ABS then a red circle in the middle instrument cluster with three beeps and then the brake peddle went a little light and spongey...

Hello All! Long time lurker, first time account holder and poster. My Silver TDI 90 has been sitting for a while. I am now working to get it back on the road. Having run VCDS Lite I get the following errors: Chassis Type: 8Z - Audi A2 Scan: 01,02,03,08,15,16,17,18,37,45,46,56,57,75,76,77...

This is another one of my attempts. The pictures are pretty much self-explanatory. Tools/supplies that were used: 1. Aluminum flat bar - 2mm thick 2. M4 pan head screws, bolts, washers. 3. Polyurethane glue/sealant. 4. Hammer, vise, drill. The only clever bit was to give the aluminum pieces...

A mechanic from a garage that I usually do my MOT checked the car today and told me that the clitch was failing. They are not a garage specialised in A2 (1.4 petrol), just a generic one. The mechanic told me that it's now worthed fixing it (by replacing it) because the price would be as high as...

Hi all, This is another one of my attempts to fix something that I cannot source down here. The idea is to use glue-lined heat-shrink, I used 24mm diameter that goes down to 8mm when shrunk. See the attached pictures because the procedure is self-explanatory: 1. Cut two pieces. Account for...

Hi all, I've decided to make a post to see if anyone would be able to help me out. I am currently at the end of a camping trip in Croyde, North Devon. Today, my boot catch has stopped working, leaving me with a boot that won't close and a four hour drive home tomorrow. I was wondering if...

Hi all, I think my crankshaft sensor has finally chucked it on my 1.4TDI after a few months of intermittent starting issues and replacing other sensors (Fuel temp, and Camshaft sensors). I am currently in the South East England, Waterlooville area, on the A3 about 20 mins from Winchester and...

OK, Next up on the list was weakened sun visor. I only managed to take two pictures while I was at it so bear with me. Once you take apart the business end (the pivoting end) you will see that there is a U-shaped spring that goes around the plastic shaft. This had sheared off on mine. The...

The EML on my 1.6 A2 has been on for the last eight years. If I disconnect the battery for a short period and reconnect the EML goes off for a day or two or at least sufficient time to pass the MOT. Sometimes on reconnecting the EPC will light up but that is not an MOT failure…yet! The car runs...

The service flap on the car seems to have been broken some how on the car and fixed by plugging it all up with Blutack to make the latch catch... Any idea of a fix or anyone have a spare release hook that I could buy and fit. To be honest i've not looked at how it's all constructed...

Recently I fixed my weather / heat shield with the help of Matt's (wilco184) excellent thread from earlier in the year: http://www.a2oc.net/forum/showthread.php?30198-Rivnuts . I had some variations in the materials used and fixing. ======= Focus of work ======= The main focus was the...

Hello fellow A2OC members, As part of my ever-expanding list of A2 services, I offer a CCCU replacement service. Earlier A2s in particular suffer from an unreliable Central Convenience Control Unit (CCCU). A faulty CCCU can cause a variety of bizarre symptoms affecting the interior lights...

Can anyone advise / recommend where I would be able to buy a Workshop Manual for a Audi A2 1.4 TDI? I have looked all over but have had no luck, Haynes usually produce a good range of workshop manuals however it appears they have not included the Audi A2. There are a variety of digital...
