What’s your budget?
 
Why the necessity for a manual out of curiosity? As you've obviously found, they're a lot rarer as they're just less common.

I like a manual over an auto, suppose it’s because you feel more involved with car when driving it and also less expensive is gearbox goes I suppose , Please Help

I preferred manuals, till I test drove an S3 auto. Have you tried an automatic just to see if you do like it? Unfortunately asking on a forum I don't think you're going to have much luck if auto trader / Audi don't have anything.
Manuals just aren't a popular choice .

As others have said if you’ve been searching a year and nothing has come up there has to be a reason why, and that is probably they’re very rare and not many were sold or produced in your desired spec.

Have you considered a 1.4 CoD engine with 150bhp? Only about 1 second slower from 0-62 and not much other performance difference given they’re both fwd only. There is plenty of those around on autotrader as they were much more popular.

Have to agree with this^^^

I had a manual S3 and was a die hard manual fan!!! Now I have the A5 coupe with s-tronic I'd never go back, even if I were to downsize to the new A1 (which I may in 2 years) that would be s-tronic as well :)

lol that's the only one...I just looked as well :)

Have you thought about going for the 1.4? Plenty of them around: https://usedcars.audi.co.uk/usedcar...,Q0gyIDFFVQ|1051,17500|1121,19/l|12,1,t_geo,U

The 0-60 isn't a massive difference, but the fuel saving/insurance/tax would be!

I was down at Sheffield last week and stopped in to have a look at that one on the way back up to Scotland, it is way overpriced and goes have a few marks on it, also at that price it doesn’t have any extras apart from the wheels , looks slit better in pictures than it is. I have been looking for soling , does anyone know anyone that has one ??

Have you not even considered what others have said? Plenty are trying to help, but clearly what you're after is far from common, so compromises are gonna have to be made
