Hi, I like the idea of using the thick Dodo insulation. They now do a noise and Insulation, but I believe it costs more. I like the idea of keeping access to all these pockets which are normally hidden away. Take care M.

Excellent cars, like you a 53 plate TDi 1.4, 218k miles. I've done the 6-speed MYP (Passat 1.6 Bluemotion) gearbox upgrade. All same ratios as A2's original but with an extra gear. Love it to bits: fun, cheap to run, cheap parts, super economical, practical plus you're in a unique-to-segment modern classic that's only getting more and more rare. Good choice!

Make sure you have the right speck of oil for car on the panel under the bonnet you should find a sticker or card that will have a code which will tell you what specific oil you need most oils have these codes on the back I will pm you of what I mean this is quite important especially with the high mileage that you have on the car to stick to the same coded oil it doesn't have to be the brand as long as it right spec to it

Join the Audi A2 Owners Club. That's the most useful resource for the A2 Enthusiast. With their help, I found an excellent garage; WOM Automotive. There are also lots of 'how to' guides. Check your front suspension control arms. They rot out. Make sure you know where to raise your car safely. The plastic sills are NOT structural! Many have damaged 'floorpans' as a result of incompetence... Enjoy your car. It WILL get under your skin! From the owner of a 282,000 mile 1.4TDI owner. 😎👍

Actually, it’s not really a fault of the Bosch wipers blades. The tab on the E46 drivers side wiper arm is designed to work with the old style wiper blades and should be removed when you upgrade to the new style wiper blade. The new style wiper blades from the BMW dealer come with an instruction to do exactly that. Cheers!

Maybe in white (hate bright colours like yellow or blue). Want a more discreet color. Or grey. Looks elegant on Grey. One thing: does ANYONE has something to say about sound quality? Saw so many reviews. No-one speaks about that. I know it's not Harman kardon or Bose 😂😂 But... is it any good? It's something I really appreciate in a car. Great video.

The main problem with the 1.2 Puretech is the wet belt which is bathed in oil and which disintegrates (crumbles) on contact with this oil to clog the lubrication circuit (notably the strainer, resulting in loss of pressure and poor lubrication). of the engine which breaks down). Many owners have been victims of this aberrant conception!

F.Y.I. The seat does not need to be removed. The part can be installed from the back seat area. You just need to move the seat forward and the sensor is right there. But, unfortunately, the new part didn't work for me. That said, I don't have a scanner to determine the problem. I just was hoping that it would turn off my SRS light. For $11 it was worth a try.
