When purchasing your Audi A2, How many of you were baffled by all the Extras codes listed in your service manual ?
I recently purchased an A2 tdi from the original 1st owner, so it was nice to get all the Audi service history, along with both keys, plus original plastic tag key code and the original Audi owners wallet with all handbooks and cards etc
Looking round the car and its great interior put a smile on my face.
Then I opened ( removed ) the bonnet - OMG !!! YUK !
I took a closer look and shrieked at the mess especially in the middle pot.
The owner gingerly handed me a bakers crate from the boot with the head and turbo in.
I didn't have to inspect too close to see there was a hole through the exhaust valve and that the tip of the glowplug was missing and had obviously bounced around the cylinder nibbling the edge of the piston crown, before shooting through the valve and out of the exhaust.
Oh well, I love a challenge and at this price, I'll rebuild the engine, ( or have a good go ) and hopefully it'll soon look like this )
Sorry for all my babbling ! Here's the PDF codes chart.

Oh, One more thing, How many codes are listed on the sticker at the front of your Service manual ? These are mine..( 38 I think )
