I think A1 is the engine control relay that controls power to the engine management modules and A2 is linked to petrol air mix and pumps additional air into the exhaust on start up -  probably part of emission control?.
Mk6 GTI Carbon Grey, 2010 Bluetooth and voice fitted, a few VCDS mods still a comfortable family car. Red Scirocco 2011 twin charger stage 1 - enjoyable drive now gone.  White 2016 Polo GTI (roller skate on steroids) replaced with an Indium Grey 2019 7.5 GTI PP.
