Bugsy Update
Forgot to mention that I had the alternator regulator replaced on the A2, along with the battery and a wheel bearing. Just the driver’s door window and remote key fobs to do now..

Fleet Update !
I finally got the wheel bearing sorted on the Audi. Yay. Silence.. Bugsy is now my ONLY car, as I have SOLD the Clio! I’d run out of time on the “temporary car” insurance, so it needed to go. I tried Gumtree and got a couple of replies, but no sale. So I bit the… Read More Fleet Update !
Bugsy Update 18.3.2024
Ok. So I gave up trying to get the blower fan sorted myself and consulted a local mechanic. This is the guy who fixed the Clio starting issues. He had it working (sort of) in a few minutes, but every time we turned off the engine it would not work again.. Until, for no reason,… Read More Bugsy Update 18.3.2024
Bugsy the Audi A2 update: goodbye tracker, Hello red plug.. wheel centre caps.
After consulting the experts at at the Audi A2 owner’s club, I have disconnected the tracking device hidden under the passenger side floor. It looked more complicated than it actually was: snipped 4 wires and insulated the ends. It looked like they were attached on 2 places, but this was just tape. The big wire… Read More Bugsy the Audi A2 update: goodbye tracker, Hello red plug.. wheel centre caps.
Bugsy Update
See the big brother post.. Apart from that, the red plug on the CCCU is not connected. Why? Is this connected to the plipper issue? No centre caps for the wheels & no key for the nuts. Heater fan not working. If it would stop raining long enough, maybe I could find out?
Big brother..
Is watching Bugsy.. Seriously. I found a Mercedes/Motorola tracking device next to the CCCU under the passenger floor. This was while trying to match the codes of the CCCU and slipper keys. The tracker seems to be wired into the loom. Ongoing..
Audi A2 – Here we go!
I picked up Bugsy the A2 tonight. Hell of a deal! Needs some fettling, but has 12 months MOT on it. Sports wheels and Open Sky System (not working). Black interior. Much better than the light blue one it originally had. A FULL BEIGE LEATHER INTERIOR was also included. I have plans for that.. It… Read More Audi A2 – Here we go!
Audi A2 on the horizon
I’ve been after one of these for ages. Even test driven a couple. First one was a tdi75 with dodgy 3rd gear, second was an FSI with dodgy everything, including seller. Nothing available for ages, and then one lands in my lap on FB marketplace.. No MOT, but cheap. Seller then offers to MOT it… Read More Audi A2 on the horizon
Clio starting issues again
This is the third time. First time, a bit of twiddling and it worked again. For about a week. Second time, none of that worked and we replaced the starter. After trying bumpstart, which worked eventually. Oh, and the “shorting the starter terminals” bodge. Also worked (once). Last Friday, came home, stopped car, tried to… Read More Clio starting issues again
Clio Radio Code Solution
When the mechanic replaced the starter motor, he disconnected the battery. So, the radio forgot it’s code. I had no idea what the code was.. Of course I only discovered this when I tried to play my new CD on the way to work.. (“Lonely is an eyesore” – look it up). Solution: this stereo… Read More Clio Radio Code Solution
