    Lowering advice.

    That's not too bad. Mine was even higher on standard springs, and that was a 185 with S-line suspension! In fact it looks like a standard Eibach drop tbh. Maybe your car wasn't on stock springs as it'd be higher than that IMO. I have a pair of front H&R springs sitting doing nothing at the...

    Timing belt/chain

    Had my A1 185 Black Edition (1.4 TFSI) serviced and MOT'd last week, and whilst talking to the mechanic, I mentioned I have to have the timing belt changed this year as it was overdue. He said they don't need doing as the TFSI engines have a chain not a belt. That's news to me. Is that right?

    S-Tronic Gearbox Oil

    I have a 2012 A1 185 Black Edition (8X) I just rang Derby Audi who told me that the gearbox oil and filter doesn't need changing on my model. Thought that was odd as the mechatronic units are notorious for going. After checking the service history I couldn't see any mention of it being done so...

    The manual should have all that info.

    Retro fit Auto-Dimming Interior Mirror Install Guide

    I knocked my mirror off on Sunday whilst I was pjssing about with my dashcam (stealth one right next/behind the mirror) Didn't see this thread until now but found a video on youtube showing you the clockwise turn to get it back on which was a godsend as I couldn't see how to get it back on at...

    Water leak into cabin

    Same here, my previous Seat Leon (still a VAG car) had the same and it was the soft rubber seals in the door frame itself which leaked into the front footwell then ran down and pooled into the rear.

    185 (8X) Brake Discs

    Thought I'd give an update now I've had the new brakes on for a few weeks. The ceramic front pads (ATE) I'm very happy with. They were quite noisy driving away from the garage, but I went for a 20 minute spirited drive down the carriageway and country lanes. After they were nice and warm and a...

    Quick hello - My A1 185 Black Edition

    Small upgrade today. Some Audi stickers that were £1.34 for the pair on Amazon. A little smaller than advertised, but that makes them more subtle looking IMO.

    185 (8X) Brake Discs

    Just put these on earlier on each side. Nice quick £1.34 "upgrade" I spotted on Amazon! Bit small, but looks alright.

    185 (8X) Brake Discs

    I got lucky that EuroCarParts had 50% off brakes just when I needed them. Nice when things work out that way! Just gone past 60k on mine. I bought it in June 2016 and it's not had the belt done yet so better get it sorted sooner rather than later. My oil light has come on twice since I bought...
