  Cartype : Audi A2
On the Audi A2, a folding flap with a high-gloss painted finish takes the place of the conventional radiator grille; the oil dipstick and filler caps for engine oil and washer fluid are readily accessible behind this flap, for maximum convenience.
The A2 fulfils various seemingly irreconcilable contradictions: it is a common-sense car that is nevertheless not dull; its fuel consumption is low, but it is still fun to drive; its exterior dimensions are compact, yet it is exceptionally spacious inside.
The A2, a car designed for the 21st century, is a fully-fledged member of the Audi model range; Audi is planning to launch a version capable of covering 100 km on only three litres of fuel before the end of the year.

 Audi A2
Because of the inferior width, the rear seat is heavily sculpted to accommodate two passengers, thus the A2 is strictly a 4-seater.
Audi claims the engine is free of servicing for every 30,000 km, so access to the engine compartment is just needed at the aftersales workshop.
However, the 4-door A2 is a lot bigger than the Lupo and is deemed to be the first 3-litre family car, thanks to extensive use of aluminium to achieve a kerb weight nearly matching the little Lupo.

The little Audi A2 is a masterpiece of technology but its success may be limited because of its weird looks, high price, and failure to meet fuel economy claims.
Audi says the car is a four to five seater, with a split-level floor designed to give more room to rear passengers.
But the A2, at 3.82 metres in length about the same size as a Fiat Punto, is competing against the likes of the Ford Mondeo (£14,595) or Honda Accord (£14,645).

Audi A2 The Audi A2 is a premium subcompact automobile produced by Audi from 1999 to 2005.
Audi was the first manufacturer to try and incorporate lightweight building concepts using Aluminium and associated alloys into a "mass market" vehicle; the previous efforts at using a Space Frame were limited to the rather more expensive A8.
The A2 can, however, thus be considered a trailblazer for various newer aluminium-based vehicles, such as the present A8, forthcoming Nuvolari and TT and the present Jaguar XJ and XK8 series.

Audi and Volkswagen figure it will take about 15 years, based not only on the further development of hydrogen fuel cell technology and effective and cost efficient production methods of the fuel, but also on the political framework involving laws, standards, codes and safety testing.

Hi i'm new to the forum, i bought a 2004 A2 1.4 TDI SE Colour storm last year from an Audi main dealer, as i'm commuting 100 miles a day i needed a very economical vehicle.
Last week i was contacted by the dealer who told me that Audi technical had been in touch with then and there was a potential solution, which was to mount the valve on some rubber bushes and this would reduce the amount of noise being tranmitted through the chassis.
The EGR is mounted directly to the bulkhead, and with the A2 being so small, and the bulkhead aluminium, the noise goes straight into the cabin.

 Audi: Pioneer in Aluminium
Most Audi models have high-strength aluminium side intrusion protection beams in the doors, and TT Roadster owners who order a hardtop for their sports car will find that it is of sandwich construction, with a load-bearing aluminium frame surrounded by polyurethane foam and fibre glass mats.
In the A4 Avant and A6 Avant, flax fibre with a polypropylene matrix is used for the load-area side trim, and in the A2 the door trims are made of flax fibre with a polyurethane matrix.
Audi’s top-selling model is evidence that even a car with a load-bearing pressed-steel bodyshell can save weight most effectively if aluminium components are incorporated.
