All went smoothly. No issues with coding. I ended up changing the complete calliper and actuator assembly - the new one feels super smooth in comparison to the original. Thanks for your assistance.

Thanks again Steve. My symptoms are.... Increased wear on the near side rear pads - this is actually most pronounced on the outboard pad and disc face, The inboard pad and disc face looks normal. I replaced rear discs and pads just 8 months (5,000 miles), ago. The offside is in good shape. I could smell the hot pad material recently which was why I investigated. I've actually ordered a new complete calliper. Should arrive over the weekend or Monday. Cheers.

Appreciated, thank you 👍

Thanks for this. I may try replacing just the calliper and retain my existing actuator. Question....if I remove the whole of my existing calliper assembly to swap over the calliper, will I encounter any issues when reconnecting the wiring? Or perhaps I should keep the actuator plugged in to avoid any possible problems? Thanks.

It's an 8V with EPB. One question....will a new calliper require coding to the car?

Hi Jason. I have new rear discs and pads ready to fit. I noticed excessive wear to the near side pads and it appears that the near side calliper is binding. I'd like to resolve this problem as simply as possible so was going to change the calliper before changing discs and pads.

The rear near side brake calliper on my 2013 A3 2.0TDi is binding. I've taken a photo of the part number, 5Q0 615 405. My question is, will any calliper with this part number fit? Is the "AM" in the photo relevant? Any assistance appreciated.

I've noticed a couple of company's do the LCD in dash replacement, I just need to get the cluster out. Maybe have a go on the weekend. I did read somewhere that there radio issue could be down to the ribbon cable - more investigation needed. I'll try Audi for the cup holder.

A few niggles I need to address. First the pixelated dash, that's annoying. Same with the radio. And one of the pop out cup holders needs a replacement.

The good news. Audi confirmed that my car had a timing belt in December 2017 so we're good for another 18 months 🙂

Thank you Gareth. 👍

Morning, thank you both for replying. I've actually purchased a 2001 1.4 petrol engined car - apologies, I should have been more clear in my original post. However, I assume the basics are similar, a 5 year period between changes? The car has a quite fastidious service record with Audi, but I can only locate one invoice which relates to a timing belt change, that was 10 years ago in 2011. This may be partially explained by the car having a very low mileage, but of course, it's now well beyond the time period for a change. Thank you.

Hello Everyone. New member here. Twenty years ago my girlfriend had a brand new A2 1.4TDi.....I've always had fond memories of that car. A few days ago, whilst casually browsing the classifieds, I came across a rather lovely sounding A2 1.4, and on the spur of the moment I bought it! I've done a spot of Googling, but rather than take a risk and make a mistake, I thought it may be better to ask those in the know - that's you guys :) I'd much appreciate your input.
