my a2 1.4 petrol 2001 has a slipping alternator belt every time it rains.The dealers don't know how to sort it out.Its been to two dealers the first said the belt has a tensioner and there is nothing we can do.The second dealer changed the belt this didn't work they changed the tensioner that didn't work .They contacted audi and then changed the cam belt. It still does it.Has any one had this problem?
 
Ive had a similar problem, ie when it's raining or damp, the car makes a screeching noise when I turn the steering wheel, some members pointed out that it could be to do with the power steering. The problem comes and goes with the weather so im not 2 fussed about it.

Same with me-damp or a just washed A2 gave a noise when the engine was started but it lasted only seconds. Stuff cheese in your ears and the noise will vanish!!...

Mine doesn't do that. Never a screech, and it get's very rainy in the netherlands.

Now that you mention it when damp my beterry light flickers, could this be tha same problem maybe, it hasen't affected me so far, will tell the dealers when servicing, but it's one of those intermitent problems that dealers tend to say coem back if it hapens again, then it does then it doesn't!!! WD40 maybe?

Potato,
I'm also getting an intermittent battery light flicker. I don't know if its weather related as it doesnt seem to have stopped raining since I bought the car!
It hasn't affected me either. I'll be asking the dealer to look at it when I next take my car in.

I've noticed an occasional battery warning light coming on during the first mile or two, but haven't made the connection with rain. It only seems to happen in the morning. Will have to be more observant!
