Hello A2 owners,
Nice to (virtually) meet you all!
My mom bought an Audi A2 in 2020 and I have driven it the majority of time since. Despite being old, it's a very pleasant car, and I hope to help her keep it as long as possible.
In early 2021, electronic problems showed up and they only added up. I highly suspect the CCCU. Here is a list of the problems in appearance order (if it's usefull) :
Last summer, we naively bought another CCCU thinking that simply changing it would solve everything, but as you probably guess, it does not. I only learnt lately that it has to be pre-programmed for the specific car. Note that I don't have a VCDS from rosstech and it seems quite expensive so if I could avoid that...
I am new to the forum and I have spend the past few days searching for solutions. I will soon contact timmus which seems to be the expert in this field and I am highly interested in his CCCU replacement service. I'm also interested in others opinions maybe my case might help someone else in the future .
I also suspect the battery (I think it's still the original), do you think a faulty battery could be the cause to all the problems ?
Thank you very much!
Yours faithfully,
A fellow A2 belgian owner

- The sound alarm when you leaving the car with the headlights on is not working anymore.
- Electrical windows both from driver and passenger side are not working anymore (maybe the most annoying problem)
- The fuel trap door can not be open with the button near the drive's seat (I have to open it manually through the boot)
- Driver's door is not responding anymore to the central locking (note that we don't have remote key).
- The locking/unlocking button on the driver door is not working anymore.
- Sometimes, the boot lock does not repond to the central locking system (quite annoying too).
