    Wifes new A1

    Yeah it's a rare size - I had a puncture once and when I went to get it replaced there were only four in the UK available. £210 and that was mates rates. Not a big issue but something to consider if thinking of getting one.

    going in for a gander

    I did one of these Audi Sport events a few days ago and there was all sorts there from the RS and S ranges that you could drive - however one thing I thought was odd was that no one was taking out the S1. It sat there all day unused. S3 (SB, Cab and saloon), RSQ3 and SQ5 seemed to be the most...

    going in for a gander

    Wow these S1's aren't cheap to finance are they? My S3 was £33,500 after discount - £400 a month with £3,700 deposit on 36 months. I'm sure when I looked at the S1 the GFV was quite high?

    Wifes new A1

    Lovely car. I had a A1 185 until a few months ago when moved up to the S3. It's a brilliant car and makes a really nice noise with the supercharger. I would get 25-28mpg having fun but 40mpg was easily achievable on a run. Yes, when cold it DRINKS fuel. Using kick down a lot would also mean...

    would i be stupid to...?

    Almost certainly - in LC on my S3 the ESP is I think in sport mode (not totally off). Why would it need to be off if it didn't make a difference? Interesting it limits the revs at 3.5k - thought that was S-tronic cars only. Give it a go tomorrow and report back - think you will find it much...

    would i be stupid to...?

    Interesting dilemma josedebardi! Always been the way with manual, turbo 4WD cars - Scoobies and Evo's main weakness. Umm - maybe slightly less revs initially and a fairly quick throttle release? Seen some videos on youtube at the press launch in Sweden of journos doing it but I doubt they will...

    would i be stupid to...?

    Oh it is fun isn't it? Had some fun against F type too. Not sure if it was an S but I pulled away. The most interesting little sprint I had was against a brand new Cayman S. Really slow off the mark. He pulled in to the petrol station behind me and we exchanged a few pleasantries. He guessed my...

    Fuel Grade for s1

    The S3 has had reports of rough running on 95. But on that engine version the fuel cap says 97 Ron (super) minimum. Should be OK on the S1 but you won't get the best out if it

    Fuel Grade for s1

    95 Ron minimum I think.....but 97 Ron (super) is preferred Tesco 99 or Shell Nitro+ would get my vote :thumbs up:

    Audi S1 - What Engine Is It?

    So as expected Revo saying that it's an EA888 engine across the board but different internals. Drivel it is.

    Audi S1 - What Engine Is It?

    Yes they are. Lots of posts noting the differences and what you have been told is incorrect. Just get the R. It has the same engine.

    Audi S1 - What Engine Is It?

    TSI is the old designation for the direct injection VAG engines. Revo told your mate the S1 has the same engine as the R. That's true - it's the EA888. But the R version is tuned differently and with slightly different internals. You're not prepared to challenge your mate or Revo so this is...

    Audi S1 - What Engine Is It?

    http://www.topgear.com/uk/car-news/audi-s1-review-first-drive-2014-3-14 Well respected Journo and magazine. VW press page explains the difference quite well too http://www.volkswagen.co.uk/about-us/news/549 Oh and S1 is 231 P.S. The S1 does have the EA888 engine but in a slightly different...

    Audi S1 - What Engine Is It?

    You can find some pretty convincing hard evidence about all sorts on Google. For example - the moon landings was filmed in a hanger, Aliens live at Area 51 and my personal favourite one being that MH17 wasn't shot down by a Russian missile. You can also find total ******* about the EA888...
