Hi guys I've got a 2018 Seat Toledo 1.0tsi 110bhp with a manual gearbox and I have just had it remapped by Angus @ Kap Tuning in Folkestone. Angus has mapped 2 of my previous cars to great success so I trust him implicitly with my cars. The car has done just 7,500 miles so it's still quite low mileage, it's only ever ran on V Power so I hoped the standard power would be healthy, or at least the 110bhp from factory. On to the rollers and after some health checks Angus made a base run. It made 117.9 bhp which I was very pleased with as its completely standard. It goes to show that better fuel does yield better power. Angus studied the dyno graphs and pointed out that there was a boost drop off at 3,500rpm which was holding everything back. He spent and an hour or so re-writing the ecu and making his adjustments. After all was done he made 2 power runs. The first run yielded 140bhp, a good improvement. The second and final run made 143bhp, a significant improvement over standard. The result is a much happier car, pulling well through the rev range. It's never going to be 'fast' but now at least I have released its potential. I will post the graphs up if people are interested to see them.

From day one I thought the shiny smooth cover to the storage compartment in front of the gear lever was annoying as seemed the logical place to put keys or glasses but they would just slide off especially with the holes in the surround. Normal non slip matting is too thick to allow the cover to slide with this type of mat in place. A piece of pond liner is the solution! I pushed a piece of paper down onto the cover to trace the shape and then cut the liner with a blade and steel rule leaving the front edge 15mm longer so that it tucked under the gap the cover slides into. It is held in place by a 10mm strip of double sided tape under the end nearest the gear shift. I measured the thickness of the liner I used and it is 1.07mm thick so say 1mm. The Cover slides in and out perfectly.

Hi everyone I have had the Octavia now for a little over a week the mod itch has begun so I am doing a few mini ones to keep it at bay then more than likely moving on to larger stuff.Today I put on wind and rain deflectours and dust caps.
