Hello

I'm a new member with an Audi A2 2003 (I've had it over ten years car not knocking)with a knocking noise, sounds from engine /suspension area - I'm definitely not a mechanical person I just love quirky motors .

looking for local Audi member rather than main dealers 

You have not mentioned the mileage Steve, but at 22 years old your car must have done a circuit or two around the Earth. Most of us recommend independant VAG specialists rather than Audi main dealers. An internet search for "VAG specialist" should reveal several in your area.

Hi Cliff  , yes lots of miles 170,000 -I'll look for VAG specialist great idea thank you .

I'm not a mechanic in any form - and not much money 

Welcome to the forum you'll find the members on here are a friendly and helpful bunch 🙂 

thanks -for the welcome

I've used A&A motors in Hull several times - maybe worth giving them a call to discuss your options.

thanks , i was hoping for a little more local - the car has a worrying rattle 

Have you not found anyone yet? What about

I had an A2 for nearly 20 years, only just sold it with 308,500 miles.

Your best bet for A2 expertise is WOM Automotive who surely know everything about A2s. They're near Uttoxeter.
