If the cam is timed up correctly and you cannot rotate the engine by hand, then I think you have bent valves and will have to remove the cylinder head to confirm, it might be more cost effective to replace engine than repair, depends on your mechanic skills.

I have it on a new shape A1 and have had positive comments when out and about, is easier to find in the carpark in the sea of drab greys, blacks and silvers. Go bright colours for a change!

When I ordered my A1, I test drove a sport on 17's and found it acceptable around town and on dual Carriageways. It depends on what car you have come from and what you're prefence is comfort/ sporty handling. In the end I ordered an s-line with 18's and that's not to bad, with only the...

I have this engine in the new A1, have done around 2.4k miles so far with no kangarooing and gives good performance and economy.

Don't forget that cabrios don't have a sub with B&O or Audi sound system , so you might want to have listen to both before making decision, I had a 1.4 150ps cab and found it had enough power for most of the time aswell as good economy.

As per title, any tweaks possible on the current A1. Scott.

It shows the fuse boxes locations in the owners handbook.

The S line does have footwell lights, but they only come on with the doors open.

I think Audi deleted it on all models for 2020 model year accept the Vorsprung model. Will probably be expensive to retro fit as you will need new trim panels on doors and around digital dash containing the LEDS, plus coding on MMI.

My dealer says they give all there approved used an oil service if it needs it or not.

For 2020My A1's , you can only have 1.5 35TFSI as S tronic, no manual. If you want manual, it's 1 litre only.
