trim removal on A2 hatchback
 

Hi .Can anyone tell me how to remove the trim and panel on the rear hatchback on an A2.I've looked and looked but cannot see any furry screws (like on an A4) and i've tried tugging at it but still no joy.(keep it clean).so if anyone knows how to remove the panel that the pull down handle is recessed into and the trim around the window ,i would be very grateful.

BIG bar
 

Just get a lever bar slide it up behind and lever down if you use a tourch and lever it down a bit youll be able to see where the spring clips are and direct the lever action right at the fixing points.

Thanks for the response Audiscientist.I will give it a go and see what happens.
By the way my a2 is the 1.4 TDI and it's making an unusual Mooing noise from the engine bay.Very irritating to say the least.It only makes it when the engine is under a certain load condition.I think it is the EGR (exhaust gas regulator ) valve.Could you advise on what to do next .eg get the valve changed or is it something that people put up with as it does affect performance ,(just the kids imitating the Mooing noise in the back of the car.)and is it likely to come back again or is there a mod for it????who knows...I bet you wish you hadn't responded now.lol.(sorry for the million questions.)

Mooing
 

Sorry not quite sure what you mean by a mooing noise but if your consernd about an enigne part like an EGR valve it's best to get put on diagnostics first as this will show the actual and specifed measurements no point replacing parts that don't need replacing.

RE: Mooing
 

In order to remove the trim panel on the hatchback you must first purchase a special key. See picture. As far as the mooing is concerned, I don't have a clue.

Just Kidding, an Audi is an Audi is an Audi, good luck.

RE: BIG bar
 

is the mooing noise like a kinda glug that comes from the rear of the engine by the firewall??
i also have this problem in the 1.4tdi it usually happens when the engine is at low revs.
i have no idea what it is but it doesnt seem to affect the performance.
