I've swapped a flat bottom wheel onto my S1 which came with a standard round one from the factory. Was a straight swap, a nice and easy job and only took about 20 minutes. I can't recall the part number for the replacement airbag, and can't find it anywhere in my emails from when I ordered it...

Hope you're enjoying your new S1! Nano grey is a lovely colour, I waited 2 years to find a nano grey S1 in my ideal spec. I've had my nano grey S1 for a year and a half and I'll probably never sell it! It's a great colour, doesn't show too much dirt and has a lovely hue in bright sun. As far as...

I'm guessing not many people order them nowadays so there just isn't the demand to warrant producing them anymore. Unfortunately, I managed to collect a large rock chip on the lower-centre section of my bumper, so the front spoiler would do a good job of covering it up and matching the silver...

I'm looking to buy the front spoiler that came on the S1 with the exterior quattro pack. I've spoken to Tom from Crewe Audi but they are now discontinued . If anyone has one of the silver ones for sale, please let me know! Part number is 8XA 071 612 A6P. Cheers!

Mine is a 2015, completely standard (did have a tuning box on it for a year before I bought it) with 37,000 miles. The throwout bearing is on its way out, and the clutch engagement is very jumpy some days. However, the clutch is yet to slip on me thankfully. Fingers crossed it lasts a bit longer...

My car has exactly the same noise I think. If I slip the car into neutral or put the clutch in and rev it you can hear it too. The noise seems to get louder and higher pitched with the increasing revs. It is very noticeable when engine braking too. I asked my local Audi dealer to have a look at...

The only common issues that I am aware of (fairly new S1 owner) is the wastegate rod rattle. From what I was told is that it doesn't hurt the engine at all, just a weird metallic scraping noise that you may hear under WOT. You may also get the fuel pipes rattling against the bodywork in the...

I had a similar issue previously along with a ticking noise when the AC would just on Auto mode. Was quoted £1400 to have the recirculation flap changed under the dash. I decided I'd leave it as I'm cautious that by them taking the dash out the car will be filled with even more rattles. They...

Good to hear! I'll probably be grabbing some winter wheels at some point, so I won't feel so bad wasting nice summer tyres in the winter

I had the Contact 5s on a previous car of mine and I liked them a lot. I've not tried the Pirellis or Michelins, but I probably will eventually. The Bridgestone Potenzas that are on the car at the moment are awful, they slide far too much

Yeah, my wastegate does the rattle that sounds like a wire brush being pulled across the ground, but it only does it once a month. Audi told me it was just something I'd have to live with because the wastegate rod actuator clip "fix" doesn't work on the S1 apparently. It's going into a VAG...

Unfortunately not, it's a 2015, and I bought it privately. I'm guessing it would require a turbo rebuild, which is never cheap?

Hi all, Since I've owned my S1 it has had a whining noise that sounds like it is coming from the engine. The pitch and volume increase as you accelerate, it does it in all gears and if you slip it into neutral it does the same when revving. It's a very subtle wizzing noise, however recently I...

Perfect. Was a little worried that the springs would drop out when I removed them. Cheers!

My S1's front calliper spring covers (possibly the wrong terminology, the metal piece that has the S1 decal on them. Image attached) decals have faded and the black painted area is looking a bit worse for wear. I have polished them previously and ceramic coated them but they are beyond saving...

If I could, I would've gone down that route, but it costs so much!

One of the first things I did when I bought my S1 was spending a good 3 days in the garage machine polishing and then ceramic coating the car. In terms of how easy to wash the car, it is so worth it. People claim ceramic coatings are some unscratchable coating that is indestructible and will...

Glad I'm not the only one who thinks they're mad. In response to them claiming my car doesn't have the nav prep option ticked, I have sent my optional equipment part numbers which are printed in the boot of the car. It has the code "7Q4", which is the code for "satellite navigation preparation"...

Hi all. I am currently talking to a dealer about having the Audi MMI Sat Nav fitted to my S1. My S1 has the sat nav prep option and the MMI system with the 2 SD card slots. When talking to the dealer, they quoted me close to £700 for the sat nav card and authentication because, and I quote "the...

I've got this exact issue on my 30k miles S1, but it only happened in 4th gear once and I can not get the car to slip again. When stationary and in neutral you can hear chatter from under the car too, which makes me think the throwout bearing could be on its way out. The clutch also clunks going...
