Audi A2 - 12v Battery change to fix issues?
Просмотров 8673 месяца назад
Having various issues with sensors and switches? The 12v battery upgrade should be tried first if it’s not been changed in a few years. It didn’t fix all my issues but did fix some and saved some money. Comment on the video if you have any questions but easily a DIY job with simple tools.

Unfortunately my driver's side window doesn't work..
How much speed I can get with 3.5 onch HDD s? Is it worth upgrading the network and not upgrading hdds?
If you see file transfer max out at around 100mbs then you need to upgrade your network card to make use of the higher speed of your drives 👍
Excellent! However, thanks to a gormless mechanic at "Sunset" garage in Derby the bonnet on my A2 refuses to open having pulled the latch inside. Therefore, I am reliant on a stranger in a good mood to pull the front flap down..........or call Green Flag for such a trivial cause. Any ideas gratefully received!
That’s not good! Have you tried a bit of cleaning and lubricant on the cable. That would be my first step.
Thanks❤
Dabbling with a bit of fancy effects there Mr Broon! 😂
I have 15-inch wheels on my A2 (1.4 TDI, 77 hp), and I get around 3.8 L/100 km on long trips, with consumption ranging from 5 to 6 L/100 km in urban driving. Considering it's a 23-year-old car, I’d say that's quite impressive. I'm very happy with it; it's also an incredibly reliable vehicle, easy to maintain, and inexpensive to service.
Love the colour and love the wheels. Those rims look amazing. My A2 is the same colour as the 54 plate on your drive. An amazing little car. All the best when it comes buddy.
Hi there Mr. B. Watched a few of your video's and you certainly know your way around an A2. The steering on my 05 plate diesel has went very heavy and I'm not sure where to start analysing it. The A2oc suggests checking the fuse in the floor, the main fuse board (and that fuse is ok) the steering fluid level and some folks questioned the pump, whereas others have said the pump is very robust and very rarely fails. I believe the steering is part mechanical/part electrical? Quick question buddy. Have you ever experienced heavy steering with them? At the start, the steering would go heavy/unaided and ten minutes later would be fine again. These instances would become more frequent, to the point of no steering at all. The car is up my driveway now, mot long expired and I want to get her back on the road in time for spring, or thereabouts. Have you ever experienced anything similar? Thanks for reading this and all the best for Xmas and New Year. John from South Lanarkshire.
Hey John thanks for the support and the question. I’ll have a think and drop you a response back if I think of anything. Happy Xmas and New Year to you too when it comes. MrB
Have you done a scan with VCDS John to see what that throws up? As step 1
My A2 had been off the road for a while, and had intermittent power steering issues. Turned out to be related to battery/charging issue. Fixed by a £20 eBay alternator regulator. Try getting it scanned before you throw parts at it, though!
Good morning. I am the owner of an Audi A2 1.4 petrol my 2003 with 230 thousand km. Ordinary maintenance always goes very well. I have a question for you... the warning sound of the lights on when I turn off the car and open the door is no longer heard. Also the sound of the petrol finished obviously disappeared. The beep has slowly died. Where is it located I would like to replace it? I always follow you and thank you for your useful advice. Thanks from Italy
Morning. This post should help answer your question. www.a2oc.net/community/index.php?threads/headlight-on-buzzer.45492/
@mrbroons Thanks boy and congratulations for everything. Merry Christmas
🖐🇺🇦👍👍👍
Kein Diesel - kein Intresse.
Does this work for new remotes too? I want to add a new remote to a Audi A2. Thank you.
Morning. It should do yes.
That helps me Thanks
Than you
I did that and the cable snapped
Kudos to you for the clip! I had a hard time just installing the battery from the back seat
It’s pretty hard from the back seat. Hope I can rely on a subscribe. Do let me know if there is anything else that would be useful to see.
Thanks for the video ! In case anyone has a problem with voltage, I had broken ABS sensor wires in my A2. fixing them seemed to help apparently. also always good to change the fuses, after all these years...
Sound recommendation
When I first got my A2, the power steering cut out a couple of times and the charging light was always on. I replaced the battery and it made no difference.. turned out to be the regulator on the alternator. Changed that and it's been fine ever since. £20 off eBay..
@@paulrakanother very good shout Paul. Always check the battery charging as part of battery maintenance. BbYou should be getting over 14v across the battery with the engine running over idle.
Ez nem A2😅
what do they look like after 3 yrs? how often you have to repeat this?
I'm afraid this car was sold a long time ago sorry.
Great to see you posting again Mr Brooms :) Lovely Papaya Orange A2. Not many of those around.
Thanks Alan. Yep getting rare now. Should really get it tested by @JayEmm 😊
glad youre back 🙌 hows imola yellow ?
Thank you! Imola went a while back. Just got the Papaya now 😢
@@jameswestwood well papaya is also great (y)
Did the bonnet fall off? You can't do a proper how-to without covering bonnet removal.

For sale? Looking for a towbar for Audi A2? Do you have it for sale?
Sorry no. Long since gone.
Hi Mr Broons, thanks for posting sounds incredible ! A worthy upgrade from my current ebay special haha are these still available in 2024 ? cheers
Thank you very much 👍
You are very welcome 🙏
My issue is the boot mechanism will not release at all. 😢
Hi Jon. Tell me more and I’ll see if I can help?
Do you know if these covers are the exact same on all four jacking points around the car, or if they are specific to certain positions? I just bought an A2 which is missing all of them, and I'd like to find replacements.
They are sided. 8Z0898405 / 406 is the part numbers needed.
So easy to do , thank you very much! Greetings from Germany.
❤
that clip is from 2021 do you still own that audi? would you recommend it as a daily driver?
Gone a long time ago but yes great cars!
I CANT SEE SHIT DISLIKE 👎
Thanks!
My A2 has a missing "XZN M8" bolt on the passenger side.. considering swapping them all out for M8 Allen head bolts.. is there anything else 'special' about the XZN bolts?
Don’t believe so but is it not simpler to get another XZN?
Maybe..
Excellent! Exactly what I was looking for.. I just need to flip the back seats as far forward as possible, and I basically have a van!
Glad it helped!
Thank you! I had to replace the door stop.
Thanks for the video! Just as a side note, the bolts fastening the lock can be opened using a torx 40 - might not be suggested but seemed to work fine in lack of the original driver head.
Grazie!! Not a single mechanic in Milano had the palest idea on " how to do it"
I’m really glad that I could help you out! 🙏
Thank you.
I used the information from your video today to open my boot/tailgate! Thanks! I’m no IT specialist but maybe it’s worth adding Tailgate in the title to aid people in their search for this info and possibly gain you more views.
Hi Daniel. Thanks for comment. I’ll add that to the title, thanks for tip. 👍
It's the potentiometer.
I suppose you have since got rid of this OEM tow bar - but in case you haven't are and willing to sell it I would be interested... thank you for your channel in any case, I just got me a FSI and am presently working on the bugs one after the other to make it as reliable as possible.
Nomber 1 Work
Amazing. Thanks for Worked first time.
Glad to help 👍
You're welcome!
Can't believe it was this simple, thank you!
No worries Dru, glad to help friend.
Great video. First time in 17 years my keys went out of sync, on my fully loaded Storm. Shame you've stopped producing YT videos, but know how hard it can be. If you ever want to start up again, happy to give some guidance as I've learnt a thing or two over the past 3 years. Thanks again.
Thanks. I will be starting again in the New Year.
I’d love to take you up on your offer at some point if it’s still open?
Thanks mate. Just replaced the lock on my 2013 VW Passat. Saved $500+
Glad to help Mick
Really hard to see whats gping on here. You show the wall really well!!!
Agreed. You live you learn.
Same procedure with rear door? My window can go down electrically but doesn't go up anymore. It stays temporarily in place with a wedge. I think the plastic piece connected with the cable broke down so I'll have to open it
Very similar @Ciupremo only a few screws in similar places and then the clips around the edge.
Helpful but still struggling to understand how the bulbs are taken out.
Drop me a pm on A2OC.net and I’ll talk you through it.
this tip saved me during the pandemic when the battery went flat. Eventually, the plastic cable snapped out. Do you have any tips about how to replace it? many thanks for considering my request.
Hi Diego. Glad it helped you out. I’ve had this happen before also and the only thing you can do is pull off the boot trim and install a new cable or cord/string.
Thank you!
Glad to help
