    Space saver spare wheel

    Hi Chris, it was getting on for a year ago so my memory's a bit vague but I'm think you require an 18 wheel and it was around £240 and that's without the bag to put it in, it's strapped on the rear seat using the seat belt but I see a few on eBay for £100. Can't remember the part number but if...

    Space saver spare wheel

    I had a trip to France planned and wanted a spare and when I looked into it I decided not to bother. Audi do make a spare ( space saver ) for it and a cover as the wheel is suppose to sit on the rear seat, it won't fit in the boot. The guy in the parts department at Southend Audi was brilliant...

    oil change

    When I went to get a price from my local dealer, Southend Audi who I wouldn't even trust to inflate a tyre, the salesman told me that the S1 was not covered by the service plan but I double checked and the entire A1 range including the S1 is included in the plan. I think they are reluctant to...

    oil change

    Yes, my cars service menu was set at the wrong intervals which they have agreed so hopefully there won't be a problem when I want it service annually but won't be taking it to my local agent as have had terrible experiences with them over basic servicing, it's a shame because the cars are pretty...

    oil change

    From what I remember when I bought the car there are two pre-paid service plans, one long life ( every two yrs ) and a short interval plan ( yearly ) I paid for the short plan, around £450 I think but when I got the car and looked at the service intervals it had been set to the bi-annual one...

    Space saver wheel

    Any person without a handicap could change a wheel long before the RAC showed up, I don't know what your deficiencies are but as I said before, you're better sticking with your tin of foam.

    Space saver wheel

    If it takes you over half an hour to change a wheel I can understand why you wouldn't want one, best you stick with the tin of foam.

    Real world MPG

    I'm averaging 25mpg but only have 600 miles on the car and it's a very difficult car to drive sensibly, don't think you will be worrying too much about the fuel consumption though as the cars too good to be thinking about stuff like that.

    Rubber Mats

    Oops! Didn't read all of the posts, you've already said the same as me only earlier, haha. Yes, they are a nice set of mats, yours are better than mine though as they were free, Doh! I should have asked when I picked the car up but was too impatient to get behind the wheel which probably showed...

    Space saver wheel

Am now considering just buying a cheap 17" alloy and leaving it on the rear seat in a plastic bag ( only for my french trip ) I think a s,saver from...

    Space saver wheel

    I had two men from the parts dept at my local dealers checking their computers etc and offering up two different size s,savers to the car over the space of 30 mins or so and concluded that a s,saver won't fit, you have just proved them wrong, thanks for your time taken to check it out, it will...

    Leonard Nimoy RIP

    At least he died before going deaf, it would have been a nightmare getting a hearing aid fitted with those ears.
