The A2 (1999 to 2005) is a compact five-door with an aluminum space-frame body. It used 1.4- and 1.6-liter petrol engines and 1.2- and 1.4-liter TDI diesels.


Model year 2000 is part of the A2 (8Z) generation (1999–2005). Most procedures are shared with the other years of this generation, but engines, options and wiring changed from year to year, so the manual is made for the 2000 model year.
Check the model year on your VIN: on a 2000 vehicle the 10th character of the 17-digit VIN is “Y”. Vehicles built for North America always carry the model year in that position; on some European or Australian vehicles it may be left unused, so in that case go by the registration papers or the build plate.
At about 26 years old, a 2000 vehicle is in the age range where wiring, rubber hoses, seals and corrosion repairs take most of the work, and where original factory information is hardest to find.
Same generation: 1999 Audi A2, 2001 Audi A2, 2002 Audi A2, 2003 Audi A2, 2004 Audi A2, 2005 Audi A2.
