My wife refused the 'fix' on her A1 diesel as we weren't confident about the long term effects of it. She also drives a minimum of 500 miles a week for work (sometimes more than double that) and wouldn't want a limp mode being triggered whilst driving.

Yeah I was thinking about a red set of rings against the all black grill to match the red trim pieces in the lights :)

Thanks - I will check that out, I can't quite decide if the black rings, on a black grill, on an all black S1 will work but I might get a set and see...

Sorry to hijack the thread, feva where did you get the black rings from please ? I want to change the silver rings on my front grill (2015 S1), I contacted a company I saw recommended on the forum but they no longer sell them.... I don't know whether the rings on eBay are good quality so would...

Mine stays on mpg when stop/start activates....

Exactly that Chris90 If mine doesn't activate the mpg drops whilst sitting in traffic, doesn't happen when the stop/start is active. I don't care about whether anyone else wants to use it, it works for me and that's all that matters :tearsofjoy:

Yeah it helps mine keep a reasonable level of mpg ! lol

Looking good, much easier if you have the skills for the mods at home it seems :)

That's how I understood the update letters to work. I queried it on my wife's A1 1.6TDI on the first letter and the dealer told me then they couldn't record it yet but they would be able to record are opt-out eventually and then the car's record would show we didn't want it done. From memory...

I think when you mentioned it before it sounded like a strong request, as that is what DVLA want all VAG diesel owners to do, but they don't have the power, as far as I know, to force owners to do it. My wife has a diesel A1 but that fix isn't ready yet..... I'll keep an eye out for the...

I'm sure we'd have read if it was mandatory, if it was a DVLA requirement I suspect a free gift from Audi wouldn't cover it ;)

Good to hear, thanks for the update

Good news, you're also the first person I've seen recommend Kwik Fit too :)

It does this on the S1 doesn't it ? I'd need to read the manual again but I thought it was one click to deadlock and two to lock but to allow any people in the car to be able to open the doors from the inside.

I read that the US situation was different as they generally have much stricter emission controls than we do. I'll keep an eye on the forum, I suspect if issues start cropping up post emission mod I'll be able to read about it ;) Thanks for your thoughts on it though

We're still not sold on having my wife's done, she bought it from Audi as is, why should she risk a drop in performance or a change to the way it drives because Audi have been caught cheating ?

My wife has not had any letter from DVLA as far as I'm aware iro her diesel A1.

Why are the DVLA chasing this up ? It's not a legal requirement to let Audi 'fix' your diesel car is it ?

Inconsiderate idiots in car parks really do my head in - I always park away from everyone else in a quiet corner and then comeback to find someone has parked right next to me despite another 40 spaces being empty in the same area. Sorry to see the damage to yours :(

Diesels will always give better mpg than the same sized petrol engine though ;)
