Question 2

What are common problems with a 2013 Audi A1 in NZ?

Accepted Answer

EA111 timing chain (1.2/1.4 TFSI); DQ200 7-speed dry-clutch S tronic shudder; 1.4 TFSI oil consumption; Infotainment age. Check the year guide for detail and inspect these on any car you are considering.

Question 3

What should I check when buying a used 2013 Audi A1 in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Confirm engine: most NZ 2013 A1s are 1.4 TFSI; some facelift cars are 1.0 TFSI three-cylinders. Test the S tronic from cold — any shudder or delayed engagement needs a specialist look. Listen for chain rattle on early 1.4s; ask for belt invoices on later EA211 cars. Check oil level and ask about consumption between services. Request as much service history as possible - regular servicing matters more than promises from the seller. Run a PPSR check and review WOF history before buying. Compare condition and service records across listings - the best-value example is often the best-kept one not the cheapest.

Question 4

Is the 2013 Audi A1 a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2013 A1 is first-generation 8X — Audi’s Polo-based city hatch. In NZ the car you actually see is the 1.4 TFSI, usually Sportback five-door, either NZ-new or a JDM import. Three-doors exist but five-doors are easier to live with.
