I also like the Brembo brakes but only upgraded the pads. Had one of the disc securing screws snap which was fun, replace with s/s screws. Replaced the caliper bolts,clips and covers. Still bedding the brakes in but read good reviews about the pads. -

It was very tricky, you need a lot of patience to remove it. I had to repair one of the clips but it fitted back nice and secure There is a good video on youtube , I used that video as a guide and found a better way to remove it . It's a cheap part if you need to replace it. -

Changed the battery in both keys, they were still fitted with the originals. The key pad on the spare key was like new, and there was a little wear on the main key pad so I replaced it. Also fitted the Audi Daytona Grey cover and S Line key ring, still have the supplying dealer key rings too. -

Audi S1- My diary
Thanks for the info, I'm still learning about the car. I think it's the last geared S cars, I could never understand why the S3 8L values are low I really wanted my S3 8L in Dolphin Grey but found a car with 65k in Silver and it was mint, so sometimes you have to compromise. This time it had... -

Audi S1- My diary
Hello! I used to own a Audi S3 8L and loved the car, had it for over five years and it was my daily. When the Audi A1 first came out I wondered if there would be a S1 version, and when the A1 Quattro arrived I knew it was on the cards! And then later in 2014 I drove home from work past my...
