    Cam belt change

    140,000 miles :scared2::scared2::scared2: I would be terrified every time I started it and every inch of the journey. Personally I’ll stick with 40k / 5 year max for both the A1 & A3. Not cheap but gives me peace of mind at least

    2013 S line bumper removal

    Front bumper removal - anyone have a how to guide?

    2.0 TDI SLINE potential purchase

    Hi All, New to the A1 site but very old to ASN after TT's, A3's and now A5. Looking at a 2.0 Sline for my wife, high spec apart from nav. Other than condition should I look out for any specific A1 problems, it's a 2013 so still has Audi warranty? Thanks in advance.
