No problems on my A1. Nicely rattle free. :icon_thumright:

Hello jrloco, I wonder can you find out what the actual software version is, if it is a dealer upload or can be set by the owner under a special menu on the sat nav (perhaps?). If it is a dealer specific uploaded version can it be obtained somewhere? I am very keen to turn of my microphones in...

So to confirm your saying there is only one ABS/ESP ECU? WHich is odd as it is not what i was informed via Audi, could you please confirm this with the respective part number(s)?

Nice car, what options did you get? Spotted Xenons (obviously with LED lights) and reverse parking sensors... I have to say I'm still not keen on the S-line bodykit, although I did like the A1 quattro bodykit (but not with the £40K and LHD) so will have to see what the S1 looks like when it...

So this is a little cheat by the dealer. The 'owner' was actually from Audi UK who would have placed this on the internal auction website and then the dealer in question will now have it up for sale. Why? Well because I sat in this very car at the moving motorshow this year on the day before...

You wil need to confirm, but there are apparently 2 different ABS/ESP/EDL control units, as advised by Audi. I have a 1.6 TDI Sport and asked to have tyre warning retrofitted by the dealer when taking delivery of a nearly new car. I was informed the car had the 'wrong unit' fitted and thus...

Some more help for what its worth, 1, Ditch the sales guy and demand to deal with someone else. I did this when I ordered my second S3 in the UK, the initial guy was supposedly the 'S' salesman, but quite frankly clueless. My first S3 came from a small dealer in Germany and he was awesome. You...

Hmm, I actually hated the S-line body kit, so i went for the sport on purpose and preferred the look of the sportback over the 3 door and thats me coming from two previous S cars. I never saw the point of s-lines myself, having now had two sport models if you want an S series car go get one. ;)...

Best thing is to drive the car a little bit before jumping into a re-map. If you plan to have it for the long term (like me) I question reliability since the manufacturer factors that in and there is no way an aftermarket company can compete with that much R&D time. I moved from an S3 and...

Mine is an A1 '12 plate Sportback and has the 99g of C02 ECU as my road tax says 'NIL' with the 105 BHP engine. :) I can't find the actual Audi press release but the following would help track down a date for you...

My figures are DIS in both the S3 and A1, oh and yes i'm aware of 'averaging' which is why they are/were reset regularly. :hi: I also store all my fuel purchases on an iPhone app so will know more after fill-ups, but its going to be twice as long between those now, hence why I'm a happy...

Well on my 400 Mile trip home from Newcastle in the 105BHP (99 CO2 variant) to I managed 49.5 MPG, but I was ragging it though the dual carriageways in Newcastle then got carried away near home and, a-hem, booted it a fair bit. I will let you know more as despite it having 4K on the clock it is...

I can happily report that the A1 is quieter wind noise and tyres than my 8P S3 was on motorways. Of course you have to appreciated I have a A1 Sport Sportback on 17" alloys with Sport suspension, given it is the 1.6 TDI and there were comments in the press about refinement I have to disagree as...

Yeah, I enjoyed it! 7 days of 6-7 hours a day in the car, it was a great finale. And the roads in Scotland, well, they are just a peach, with so many that I would be all day giving them a mention. Better still, everyone seemed to be in London watching olympics so I had hours of pleasure, then...

Well i'm about to do just that... Bye-bye 1st gen S3 8P and hello A1 1.6 TDI Sport Sportback. Already had a test drive and surprising fun considering its (lack of (to me) power. Lots of torque though. :racer: I'll post a bit more after the 1st August by which point I will have been on the...

A-ha I have had my thrill in my past S3's, now due for one last swansong from Lands End to John O'groats starting later this week then will pick up my A1 from a dealer before the month end. Pretty much agreed on price for a pre-registered one. I'll be getting a 1.6 (no road tax) Sport sportback...

How about the advanced key functionality? Looks great, yet many A1's don't have it. yes i'm looking at and A1 and yes I would like it retrofitted when I get one (if a reasonable price).

Well i'm going to try the 2.0 TDI to see for myself. :salute: As to the extra gear, the torque and the grading on the 1.6 actually didn't need one, getting to 90 was only around 2500-2600 rpm which is not far of the S3 in 6th, mind I didn't launch up the sliproad nor go hunting for a 7th when...

Certainly, although I wonder what the extra weight does for the handling which I found to be surprisingly neutral on the 1.6. My problem will be the toys... There is a nice big options list and given how much traffic I find I am sat in these days prefer that as money well spent compared to a...

Oh dear, If you don't mind me asking, what engines have you all got? Sadly there isn't much clue from your signatures..... :readit:
