    Gearbox issue

    I've had a similar problem with my S1. Quite frankly, it spoiled the driving experience. I'm inclined to think it was weak syncromesh on 2nd gear, although the clutch action (take-up) position was also erratic, in that there was not a positive disengage/engage point, making engagement...

    Test drove an RS Focus MK3

    Is the S1 better than the RS3? On the track, the Focus RS came out better than the RS3 (and others).

    air filter

    "I have emailed Samcosport who supply the silicone pipe to Revo and asked if they would be willing to supply the pipe on its own I will let you know if I get a reply. Bit cheeky but I don't want to pay nearly a hundred quid on top of a performance filter for a piece of pipe" I wouldn't hold...

    First post - joined the S1 owners club today.

    Youngster! I've got an S1 and will be 69 in March! It was as near as I could get to a "Lamborghini Moment" with my pension, as we needed to help our daughter buy a house!

    S1 Adjustable Dampers Problem

    Yes, positive. I have been driving for over 50+ years, with many different makes/types of cars, so I consider I know what I'm talking about. And that's ignoring the fact that the first technician said there was no change in the ride on the three suspension settings. In addition, before taking it...

    S1 Adjustable Dampers Problem

    I thought I would post what recently happened to my S1, in case someone else has a similar experience in the future. A couple of weeks ago, my wife and myself were travelling on the motorway at around 70mph, with Audi Drive Select in auto setting (which we find comfortable, suspension-wise)...

    S1 Ride Quality

    My S1 has 17" wheels, and I have no complaints (running at standard tyre pressures). Dynamic can feel a little harsher on "rough" roads. For comparison, we have 2 Citroens as well, a C5, which, having Hydractive Suspension, is more comfortable than most. However, the other is a 2014 C4 (steel...

    S3 oil

    As I understand it, Castrol manufacture Quantum oil for VAG. What you use depends on whether your car is set for Normal or Extended use. My S1 is set for Extended (up to 2 years oil change, but I will also do a 12 month change using the LL. As "Ringway" said previously, I purchased QUANTUM...
