A2OC Donor
I've cleaned and greased the main earth behind the left headlamp and the one on top of the cam box. No idea how to remove any of the interior trim to get to the A pillar ones. I tried to start pulling it apart but things started breaking.
Remember all this only started after the RAC changed Number 4 Cylinder Ignition Coil at the beginning of April.
Since then I have fitted a new Crankshaft Sensor and a new Camshaft Sensor.
The VARTA Battery is the one my A2 came out of the factory with in 2003. It has never let me down. Never any signs of being down in power. Why would the Battery make any difference when the engine is running ? The Battery is out of the system then. The Alternator is doing all the work , isn't it ? I have had cars where you could take the Battery off the car with the Engine running. The Alternator on this A2 failed maybe 4 years ago. I could still drive it to the Auto Electrician 12 Miles away. No problem driving. Just the. Charging Light was on. He fitted a new Regulator.
Fuel Cap ? Well there is a big rush of pressure to be heard when taking it off at the Petrol Pumps, so I guess that means it is OK. ? How do these work anyway ? Does the Pump pressurise the Tank, or pull a vacuum on the Tank ?
What is " the secret compartment " please ? Never ever head of that one.
