Last time I removed one I said I wouldn’t do it again, but then again I said the same about having kids and now I’ve got 3 😂

Fantastic to see another 1.2! I’m the red one… @Richard_3L Currently a rolling project to put it back to 100% as nature intended. Once I’m happy it serviceable and I won’t do damage to it I do hope I’ll get to meet you guys in person.

@A2Steve feel free to pass on my details to Michael & let him know of mine and @Erlingtheyounger existence.
 
Today as I decorated my 14 year old daughters room her twin brother decided to 3D print his first A2. Goes well with the new A2oc badges which also arrived today. 👍😁.
Goes well with his A2 game he's developing.

So finally I got some alone time with my A2:

1. Replaced the dog bone (fitted Lemforder 36324 01 - it is 100% identical to the original one) - I was hoping very very much that this will solve the annoying rattle - but it did not :( I have "taken good care" of all bolts I removed.
So it is 3:0 for the rattle - oil pump chain replaced, aux belt tensioner replaced, dog bone replaced - and no effect :(
2. Removed earth wire for the starter motor - it was corroded at chassis side (the car started well before this, but it could start better) [I hope person that designed the place for the chassis connector will have a special place in hell].
3. I have added additional earth connection for the wiper motor (this was a preventive action) - and here I am most surprised - the wiper is now moving noticeably faster ... (the grease there is vaseline).
4. I have greased wiper linkage mechanism - just to let it work better.

Excellent work there!

One thing that could be causing the rattle is the alternator pulley. Definitely worth checking and replacing if it hasn't been changed already as eventually it will shear off completely which isn't nice 👍

Had a stainless steel back box made up and fitted with the emphasis on it being OE quiet and more MPG. There is a slight burble on tickover but other than that they've done as I've asked with additional baffling. :)
