Hi guys,
After a much longer wait than expected, we took delivery of our A1 185bhp last week. So far so good, tons of fun, solid feeling, typical Audi feel actually. It’s my wife’s car but I’m keen to get it how I want it! So, questions/comments as follows:
1. Wheels/tyres - standard 17” fitted with Michelin Pilot Sports. They feel pretty good but not sure it they’re Audi specced or not. Does anybody have any strong opinions on these or other tyres for the 17” wheels?
2. Brakes - Again, these feel pretty decent and have stood up to some abuse over the last week. I don’t see any reason to upgrade, but again would love to hear other peoples thoughts.
3. Engine - I love love love this supercharged and turbocharged engine. It feels genuinely quick. I’m going to replace the standard filter with a K&N filter but not go for induction or CAI. A remap might be on the cards in the future and having used REVO previously would probably tap them up again.
4. Mirrors - We have the tilting mirrors but they can only be moved manually. Can Vagcom change this so that they fold when the doors are locked?
5. MMI - Has anybody confirmed or otherwise the MMI fuel consumption accuracy? Also, ours is in litres/100km (Asian spec)....any way to change to good old UK imperial mpg?
6. We have 55,000km on the clock. Anything that we need to be watching out for in the near future?
7. Needle sweep - I liked the look of this on previous cars. Can Vagcom add this to the A1?
Thanks in advance
