A1 Problems (sorted)
« on: December 31, 2011, 02:04:08 pm »
Anyone heard about cold start problems with the A1?

The Mrs has had her 8 month old A1 1.4 TFSI back at Audi (Harold Wood) for a month now trying to find out why it struggles to start up cold,
they replaced the injectors, pump, filter & ECU now their waiting to here from Germany what to do next!!

Can't complain about the loan car though, had an A6 for a few weeks, she said it was like driving around in a bungalow  :signLOL:

Pretty positive the 1.4 TSI is just a turbo unit only? Or is that the 1.2 TSI?

^^^ The lower power 1.4TSI is a turbo only unit (122ps IIRC) the 185ps one in the A1 is the twin charged motor (like the Polo GTI).

Are you sure? I don't think any Audi uses the twincharged engine

TSI and TFSI are just names, just like DSG and S-tronic. The Mk6 GTI has a "TSI" engine, but the TT and A5 2.0Ts have the same engine and have TFSI written on the back. It's just a name

100% sure the 185ps A1 is the same twin charged engine as the Polo GTI etc

So I stand corrected regarding the twincharged engine in the A1... what else am I wrong about? It isn't Christmas anymore. Don't hold back :happy2:
