[Ebay ecu's]

Hi guys

I've seen remapped ecu's for sale via ebay for the mk1 octy or 1.8t engines as long as your engine code matches

What are your thoughts? They're asking £100 for a plug & play ecu, get £40 discount if you send them your old one.

[Octavia mk1 elegance estate question]

Hi guys,

I've tried searching the forum but can't really answer my question.

I want to lower my elegance estate as it's way too soft!

What options do I have?

Does the standard vrs octavia (non estate) suspension fit?

I've heard as it's an estate you have to bear in mind the weight ect.

Thanks in advance! You'll be helping a very confused bloke out

[Intermittent smoking issue]

Hi I have no idea if it's oil water cooled, how do I check?

[Intermittent smoking issue]

Hi guys.

My engine is 1.8t AUM (150bhp). I started her up the other day and it was smoking straight away and wouldn't go away. Turned the engine off and back on a few times eventually it stopped.

Changed the oil & spark plugs today (two were loose) started her up again & straight away it started to smoke! What I can tell is it's blue smoke. Smelly!

Looked unto the car, and noticed the black s shape pipe ( rubber pipe with coupling type) it was caked in oil. Pulled the pipe off the throttle body & there was oil in there too. Could this be my issue? U cleaned it out of the throttle body as much as I could without removing anything, started her up & smoked so I turned on/off again & it was fine

Scratching my head here guys any ideas?

[How To: Remove / Delete SAI , N249 and N112]

Hi guys.

Does anyone know if a 3watt 330 ohm wire bound resistor would do the trick? Looking at maplin website

[Octavia 1.8t (150bhp) diverter valve]

The reason I'm asking about relocating is because I've removed the n249 valve. I've attached it to the nipple on top of te throttle body. Is this ok?

& I simply bought the aftermarket dv purely for the noise

[Serious boost leak]

Sorry guys I put this up last night obviously didn't work!

I had a quick once over the car today and found 6 boost leaks altogether! What an absolute nightmare. But managed to take the "n" valves off and bung all the pipes ect & seems to of got better. The brake vacuum pipe was split beyond repair! Had to buy new piping for that.

Because I've removed the "n" valves & no put resistors in the plugs, would it do any damage? I know the dash light will come on but other than that?

Thanks!

[Octavia 1.8t (150bhp) diverter valve]

Hi guys

Fitted a forge diverted valve today, but I'm unsure which way round it needs to be! Any ideas please? & also, is it ok to relocate the little vacuum pipe onto the throttle body ( i have removed the "n" valves)

Thanks!
