You can, my Red one was originally done by Ben at Shark Performance (all done via the OBD2 port). But, for some reason the owner before me claimed it was using to much fuel and had the remap taken off by a VW/Skoda specialist and the original factory one put back on. Even though mine is staying OEM, I would still like a remap on it, as standard, it’s no fun, and very slow. I’d really recommend getting a stage 1 map, and a custom one at that. Because you will notice the difference going back to stock. I’ll be going to see Niki at R-Tech hopefully at some point to have mine done. If the car is stage 2, it needs the supporting mods in order to achieve it. You need a bigger front mount, either a decat or sports cat 200cell down pipe and a nice free flowing system.

Sending over.

Reference image - I hope it's right, it may not be. But, it's the only one I can find.

I can't find out what the text in the corner is meant to be, I would gather the postcode... @a1topdog If you can confirm, I can update it. I believe I've used the right font on the URL.

I think I'll be able to recreate this for you. Give me some time and I'll reply back with a design.

Excellent work! Nicely done. Heated seats for the win in winter. 😌

Done well to find them, have yet to come across a set close to me from a 5 door to go in mine. 😁

Yeah, a learning curve as I’ve always worked on the 1.8T. Some stuff as been easier to do though.

I pretty much bought mine sight unseen. Saw it advertised and picked it up. 😂 I took a gamble as it had the extra spec I wanted. I have the PD130 ASZ, it’s completely standard, apart from some cement from the previous owners lol. Here’s my project. I wouldn’t say it’s been neglected, but it clearly needed an overhaul and I’m still working my way through it.

Cannot it not be ordered from TPS/Skoda?

Like most mine is mapped to 99ron. So just stick to any super unleaded like root said. 👍🏻

Same place mine was. So it’s going to being around the housing somewhere.

Topdog maybe able to trace the car and find it’s previous life, he’s pretty good at it!

Phil beat me to the punch. For the passenger side I would say the CTS housing. Example of mine-

Here are some part numbers for you. https://skoda.7zap.com/en/cz/octavia/oct/2005-252/1/133-133029/

This may be of some interest.

I'll keep a look out for the scuttle panel, and pollen filter on my search for parts at the breakers Should be going for a trip soon. If I find some parts in very good condition, I'll pick them up for you.

Someone else owns it now, a guy called Jamie, just trying to find it... (edit: Found ) (Edit 2 - He's already sold it to someone else now) - Craig started to break it, and sold a fair bit of it. I took his Miltek Sportcat downpipe.

I think it would, Craig did this on the Yellow estate. He added a full brace behind the rear seats (where it would be on the hatchback) Fabulous read, and out does me on my build. Well worth the read if you haven't already.

5-speed 02J (EHA) gearbox from a Skoda Octavia RS (AUQ engine): 1st - 3.300 2nd - 1.944 3rd - 1.308 4th - 1.034 5th - 0.838 Final drive 1st-5th - 3.647 So in 5th gear @ 6000rpm you'd see 146mph. I've attached a .DOC file with all the gearbox ratios. Thanks to Nige8021. Octy Gearbox ratios.doc

I've only ever run 225/45/17 on mine. As for my estate (PD130), I've gone back to 16" wheels, as I found it handles a lot better, and my MPG has improved. The VRS version of the estate doesn't have any rear bracing like the hatchback, hence the reason they used the 16" variant of the spider wheels. Try out the 17" and see how you get on, but I would personally leave the 16s on.

As above. What model is the Octavia? L&K, Elgeance, etc. The superb also come with xenons, but I'm not sure on their specs/trim levels. If they've been retrofitted, it will most likely not be done right, as it's quite involved to get it retrofitted. Most, will simply buy the lights and have an adaptor harness to connect them. L&K will come standard with them, and it will also have the 5.5L washer bottle, headlight washers, no level button above the highlight switch (it will be a single roll button to control illumination) and will have the level units on the front of the lower control arm and also one on the rear suspension unit.

Can you not swap over the parts to the leather seats? Will take some time, but be nice upgrade?

I believe there is no coding as long as it is the same unit with the same part number. If you have a VW dealership anywhere near you, it might be worth speaking to the technical team to confirm this.

Looks like a bad LCD display, these do go wrong over the years. They can be replaced with another screen and someone who is good at soldering.
