    Purchased A1, 2016

    Start button (Advanced Key) was always an option. Just lots of the cars used in the brochure have it !

    Buying Advice

    I'd suggest driving as many cars as possible including an S line with the S line suspension on 18s to see whether you think its too harsh and a Sport on 17s.

    Buying Advice

    Yes 140PS was the original COD engine and was initially launched as a Sportback (in that gold colour) before the 3 door got it. When the facelift model came in it was re-rated to 150PS (torque unchanged at 250Nm). Yop speed increased from 132 to 134mph, 0-62 reduced from 7.9 to 7.8 0-62. and...

    help. which one

    The 140/150ps is at least 10% more economical in the real world in our hands compared to the 125. It also feels much quicker due to the low down torque.

    Buying Advice

    Heated seats are surprisingly rare. 1. We have a 2010 and 2013 S line on 18" wheels and S line suspension. The 2010 car has a harsher ride than the 2013 car. Pre facelift S-line cars could opt to have the Sport suspension or Dynamic suspension. Post facelift also had the option of sports...

    help. which one

    Personally I'd be seeking out a nearly new 150PS petrol, Seem to be some March registered cars around.

    help. which one

    Only way is to drive them back to back. Manual/Auto will also make a difference. Also be aware that there is a new model coming some time later this year.

    Buying used A1 s-line advice

    Yes. If you look in the brochure you see separate CO2 values for each possible wheel size for each engine/transmission option. Bigger wheels generaly mean wider tyres so more drag so that increases the CO2 when they perform the standard test. No. CO2 figures cannot be changed once declared on...

    Buying used A1 s-line advice

    Road tax is based on CO2 value. The current bands are: - 0-100 £0 - 101-110 £20 - 111-120 £30 - 121-130 £120 etc There is a specific CO2 value for each car made (stated on the V5) and it varies by engine, transmission, wheel size. Most 2015 1.4 petrols fall in the 111-120 band. I'm...

    Rear view mirror removal

    Twist anticlockwise and it will release. Its held in by 3 metal tangs. And there is a trim piece that just clips in. My wife pulled my mirror off (again) a couple of weeks without even twisting it. It had got loose with us both using the car and changing the mirror position over and over...

    used Sport. 60,000miles too much?

    Not in itself but the usual due diligence to checking service history/receipts/HPI/MOT advisories etc. The older and more miles a car has done eventually does mean parts will need replacing. Personally I'd not run an S tronic without a warranty. Our 7 year old 1.4 TFSI A1 has now done 80k...

    Glad someone from the forum benefited ! I'm getting the orginal wheels (rotors) refurbished and the guy I use could not believe the price, he said the tyres were worth that alone

    A1 Winter Wheels and Tyres

    Just bought and collected a new set of these from Camberley Audi for what seems a very reasonable £370. 16" Alloys and Dunlop Winter Sport 3D tyres. They have a few more sets left at this price for anyone local to them.

    Code out Stop/Start?

    Ours is a manual A1 and its pretty controllable/definitive (never tried an A1 S tronic in start/stop mode). Once you stop and go into neutral and lift up the clutch the engine either stops or you get the stop/start not available messages. Clutch in and engine immediately restarts if it has...

    Code out Stop/Start?

    Our 7 year old A1 1.4 TFSI has done 80k miles on original battery etc. Its never gone wrong - probably helped by being a relatively small petrol engine. I was surprised that its lasted this long and a big sceptic (it was our first stop/start car). Perhaps Audi properly specced the...
