Has anyone got an A1 with the battery under the bonnet or are the all in the boot?

I looked at a 1.4 petrol on the weekend and that was in the boot,diesels are in boot as well.

 

[Oldie]

Maybe that was a spare! (joking)

I'm pretty sure the 1.2 petrol has the battery under the bonnet.

Can't really tell from that picture whether that's a battery - it looks quite low down - might just be a +ve terminal to connect jump leads to. BUT, as I said earlier, I'm pretty sure the 1.2 petrol has the battery under the bonnet (in that front left hand corner where the jump lead is shown).

Its just a terminal block, not a battery.

Hmm maybe its beacause of the wheel size mine is 16 and the spare wheel looks like a bikes tyre i'll take a picture in a while when i go out

Has anyone else seen the internals of the e-tron? By looking at the pics it doesn't look as thou you can lower the floor... or even fit in a standard shopping trip. Batteries galore!

I can confirm that the picture in this post with jump leads is a charging point provided in the engine bay and connects to the battery in the boot. It is exactly as my own 1.4 Sport

Thank you ma lady..looks like a space saver wheel/tyre, i presume the 50 indicates your not supposed to run over 50mph(uk) when its fitted...As i said before i was lead to believe there was no spare with the a1...

Spare wheel is an optional (dealer supplied) extra on cars with 16 in or 18 in wheels - for some reason there isn't one for the cars with 17 in wheels.

 

[Jae]

Ahhh, this is wrong re wheel. What counts here is the rolling radius, so a 16" wheel will be the same as an 18" and thus a 17" too.

 

[Chelmersteve]

That crossed my mind but if thats the case why does the Accessory Brochure list only spares as 16in and 18in?

Or does it mean I could buy either of them to fit my S-Line which has 17 in wheels?
