Hello all, I'm thinking of doing a road trip this year, covid rules permitting. This is my itinerary, what do you think? Portsmouth-santander-madrid-mercia-marbella-gibraltar-Faro Portugal-lisbon via Lagos/ Alcacer do sal-porto-santiago de compestela-santander-portsmouth. I've mapped it out into manageable junks and the longest stint between these destinations is 4 hours 39mins. I'm giving myself 14 days to complete it and there will be over night stops at each place (excluding Portsmouth and Santander as I'll be on the ferry). Considering 2 night stops in Gibraltar and one other location but haven't decided which one. I've chosen Mercia as a friend should have bought a apartment by the time I intend to go. I've chosen Marbella as I know there's an English garage there so I can get the Audi fixed if there's any problems.

Hi sorry to learn of the violation of your wallet but on the plus side at least you now have a usable car which will last you a while also the added benefit that if the fuel system fails again any time soon you have a large bill to beat them with along with the thinly veiled threat of trading standards, I hope you have no further troubles and your confidence in the car returns. Steve.

I have just had a phone call from Andrew Doyle's Executive Customer Relations Manager to say they are not aware of any issues with the sensor or the ABS braking system and as I had the sensor replaced at an independent garage and not a Audi main dealer they can not investigate it. I explained that I went to an independent garage as the Main Dealer, that has been looking after the car, could not book it in until mid July. I said I am concerned that the sensor could fail again, luckily this time I was local, next time it might be difference. My confidence level with the car is now low but hopefully I will be proved wrong as I like the car. Thanks to the members that advised me to get the sensor changed before I damaged the ABS unit.

That's annoying, but eBay is your friend: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Audi-A1-S-Line-2015-1-6-Tdi-Complete-Exhaust-/154460824862?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Exhaust-System-Muffler-End-Pipe-Audi-A1-Sportback-Facelift-8XA-1-6-Tdi-/324594500642?_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286
