I also did a couple of VCDS tweaks...

High Beam Assist activation/deactivation speed has been lowered to 40kph to switch on (was 60) and 20 to turn off (was 40). Means driving through unlit country villages you can drop below 25mph and the high beams stay on now.

Mirror fold on lock enabled. Folds on lock, unfolds on ignition on.
Note for Advanced Key users, you have to hold your finger on the handle lock pad for a second or so for them to fold, you can remove it as soon as they start to move.

Still looking for a rear DRL coding that doesn't have the side effect of putting the nav into night mode all the time. I also plan to reduce the sensitivity of the auto lights so they come on later (this is an MMI option on loads of VAG cars and I did find the coding for a 2011 A1 but it didn't match up to what I saw so thought it best not to try!) - I will be looking at the coding when I change the settings on the Mrs Octavia and hope it's the same module in the S1 so I can copy the byte in question.

So close to hitting the button on one of these for the wife to replace her Q5.

Narrowed it down to an S1 Sportback or an A4 Allroad.

Went on yet another Audi Sport event a few weeks back & the S1 had me in fits of shits & giggles for the whole drive. Can't recall the last time a car induced the kind of hooligan behaviour that S1 did.

Haha! I came from an SQ5 and full recommend the swap!

I just fitted a DTUK tuning box this evening so it's now running 280bhp. OMG!! It's totally wild now!

On the DTUK box...

Definitely faster! And so much more drivable, really notice the low and mid band torque is way up! Throttle response is also noticeably better.

Only had 10 miles with it on so can't say much more than that, but so far so good!

Defo recommend this to anyone with an S1 - talk to Andrew @ DTUK and mention me for a discount :)

Can't see the wife tuning her car.

That's my domain on my cars & my M5 is putting out more than enough for me now. :bigblink:

Even without a tune it's plenty quick! I'm just greedy and got a great deal from DTUK on the box :)
