Hi,
i am having a couple of different problems with my A2 and i am looking for some input before i start trying to fix the problems.
1. The heater is living its own life, if i press Auto on/off it will blast full fan speed for a short while before stopping, this can go on for 30-90 minutes whilest driving before it actually starts working as normal.
2. When starting the car, it some times uses some extra seconds before actualy trying to start the engine and when it does it gives a really loud whining sound. I am guessing there is some problem with the starter of some sorts.
3. I live in Norway, so in the winter time when it is below 3 degrees the car will drain the battery if i don't take the car out for a drive during 24-hours. I suspect there is a problem with a diesel heater or something running at night (i smell diesel when the car is parked, coming from a small exchaust in the front.) In the summer time there are no problems with the battery draining.
4. When the car is washed there is leaking water through the back of the sun roof, is there any way to tighten the mechanism for the roof so it closes better or is this just a worn out gasket?
