Best hot hatch ever. I love the S1. Small and understatmant pure. You think it have like 100 HP but then it have more then 200 HP (with chip over 300 HP) 😁👍🏻👍🏻
I got an APR stage 1 tune last December and it makes a big difference. Makes the S1 feel like it should have come from the factory. The Eventuri cold air intake and new turbo inlet also gave a fairly noticeable bump in power.
"Just listen to this" *clicking sound when knob turns* The best thing considering modern cars have everything on stupid touch screens... Great car and love the grey & black!
I think the efficiency vs dynamic mode is a bit of Jedi Mind Trick. All it does is alter the amount of steering assistance and change how hair triggery of the throttle pedal. For a given amount of acceleration or a given steady speed there will be no MPG difference between either mode.
I never understand lowering springs- they always ruin the ride and shake the interior until it squeaks. Get some coilovers! I am aware of the horrendous cost - and am saving myself.
Whats the feul consumption like on yours? I live on an estate and I'm only getting about 14/18 mpg iv heard it would be better to get it taken to stage one which would help it is that true?
Can't decide between Audi s1 and a f21 125d, I like big diesel torque and the zf8 gearbox but in the winter the s1 would be so much fun and for the driving that I do (only on mountains) the s1 would be much faster I think Beeing close to Germany I can find both of them quite cheap but can only afford one 😅

Had it 4 years now it’s been running over 400bhp for a year and it’s been great, they are common for coolant issues/water pump other that that great car👌
@@WalkinSalmon Your comment was boring. They are good handling cars, just not on a par with superb handling hatches, because they are set up to be comfortable daily drivers. You can turn them into track day monsters with suspension, subframe mounts, and lower control arm mods, but then they are ruined as daily drivers. Just looked at your channel, and no content, so I don't even believe you ever owned one, just a typical Audi fanboy hating on anything without the four rings on the front.
@@DjNikGnashers just because I don’t have a TH-cam channel documenting every chavvy change I make doesn’t mean I didn’t have one. I was on BabyBMW check my user name but also I don’t have to prove it. We all like different things, I fitted underbody brace, strut brace, Bilstein B14s and other things to make the car something it will never be. A hot hatch. So for me. It was boring and way too chavvy with every guy from Birmingham spanking them around with their pop and bang maps. Doesn’t suit me
@@WalkinSalmon That was a considered and adult reply, which is what you should have done in the first instance. So I respect you for that. Your initial comment sounded like a 12 year old. I also agree with your second comment. They are not designed to be the ultimate track day car, but what they do best is being a comfortable daily driver which can be tuned to be a very quick car in a straight line, cheaply and easily. There are plenty of M140is which have had serious money spent on them, to make them into extremely good track day cars, but we both know, if you throw enough money at anything you can turn it into whatever you want, and plenty of owners videos prove even an M140i can be an amazing track-day car, but it needs a lot more than an underbody brace and some B14's to do that.
This guy was putting in some incredible track times before his engine blew (freely admits it was probably oil starvation as he didn't have a baffled sump yet). th-cam.com/video/o-rJKnS47zk/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=F20HULK
Clutches on lots of manual vag cars aren’t very good from stock especially as you start to put power though them if you drive it hard then I’m sure you can expect to have to replace it
Im just weighing up buying one of these now, its on 90k miles - dealership says that its just had a "full major service" which was filters and oil, im a bit dubious about the clutch as iv seen a few suggestions that they are a weak point?
I removed that silica bag from the coolant reservoir yesterday (20.12.2023) on my Audi S1 and made a video about it: th-cam.com/video/Nz1FPYPkUDk/w-d-xo.html
That engine bay made me shudder, but then again, I am really OCD about detailing lol ! My daily driver gets an engine bay detail every couple of months :-) pointless I know, but it makes me feel better ...
@@sunsetgarage755 my point is you get ripped off you'll get charged different prices depending on the car even thaw they nearly have all the same parts.
@@Khumry Yes, they did have Volvo parts once upon a time, back when the Murcielago was made. You probably only know that from watching Matt Armstrong. Ever since VAG acquired Lamborghini, they’ve been made with VAG parts & are now incredibly reliable compared to pre-VAG when they were famous for breaking down & being notoriously difficult to service & repair. The easiest way to pay the lowest price for parts, is to just put the parts number into Google & click on the “shopping” feature. VW is usually cheaper for parts than it’s other brands, but the internet is heaps cheaper again for factory parts which usually come from Lithuania, Poland, Czech Republic etc.
Can tell you have no idea what you’re talking about with such an asinine comment. It’s also obvious you’ve never driven an S1. Can you even drive a manual champ?
5 years with my s1 now, 445hp later and world records set I wouldn’t change it for anything out there
You had many problems with it with taking yours to stage 3 iv heard it can be very costly if anything goes wrong with it?
@@broughton90 as yet no, and I only drive to a track on a track and back home to be serviced again ready for the next track session 😂.
@@officialocdetails what are the laptimes like? Can it punch up its weight class?
@@andrewlilad9978 100% punches way above its class around a lot of tracks 💪🏼
@@officialocdetailsdo you reckon it can be used as a daily with 350-400hp?

The twisting nob issue might be because the car has been designed for right hand drive and they don’t change it for the left hand drive markets
The space for resting the foot is there on the left-steering-wheel version. Probably the UK one doesn't have it.
thanks for the honest review, i will probably buy one now :)
nice wheels btw!

What was that with a bag in the coolant container? Didn't understand what you said or meant.
So glad i found that video
Really nice motor bet it’s super fun to drive. Much better than a 135 I would say.

Excellent review, shipmate.
1 year already ? Damn nice vid m8🌚
I plan to buy an S1 2014 white can some one tell me what are the most common problem engine wise and things I should look out for
Entertainment button is correct if left hand drive 😉
TFSI engine has been running for nearly 20 years. 250-275 is easy with a remap.
Way mkre. It goes up to 300-310 with some tuners
Really nice S1 you have there 👌👍 The grille really looks good! 1😎
did it have any turbo lag? had a golf R. AWFUL!
The nav control is back to front because you’re sitting on the wrong side
My first thought was "Damn its already been a year?"
Yeah gone quick that where the time gone 😅

where u got ur rs grill?
really wish they sold these in the US
Hi mate, what wheel offset did you get etc?
Do these have low or high biting points out of curiosity?
? Whut
Audi is owned by VW, And most vw’s have high biting points
What is the price in India
Two thousand goats
