Question 2

What are common problems with a 2016 Audi A1 in NZ?

Accepted Answer

DQ200 S tronic shudder; Timing belt interval (EA211 1.0/1.4); Carbon / rough idle on higher-km 1.4s; Infotainment and reverse camera. 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 2016 Audi A1 in NZ?

Accepted Answer

Confirm engine: most NZ 2016 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 2016 Audi A1 a good used buy in New Zealand?

Accepted Answer

The 2016 A1 is the 8X facelift — restyled lights and, on many cars, the later 1.4 TFSI or the 1.0 TFSI three-cylinder. NZ-new volume stayed with the 1.4; JDM facelift cars mix 1.0 and 1.4. Sportback five-door is still the one to have.
