[Skoda Superb DCC missing or not]

… and the DCC dampers are VERY expensive! Oh and there are 3 suspension position sensors  to add (or one, if you already have 2, depends on the type of headlights).

Can you quote approximate range, please?

[Skoda Octavia IV pictures thread]

WOW !

 

What color is that @mac11irl?

[Brake Disc Size]

@fabdavrav, yes 288mm, as you said.

I thought I can swap to 312mm after I remap 150->185hp to match the design of 1.8 TSI 180hp with 312mm

 

... but reading other threads sounds it's not plug & play kind of task

@SkodaKing thank you! Hats down...you motivated me to jump and take the risk

[Revo or not ... for 2.0 TDI 150hp 340nm manual]

Thanks @Ecomatt

 

Thanks @SkodaKing . Would put little more details...is it better on low revs, mids or above 4k? Do so see more regens or any ECU errors at all?

[Revo or not ... for 2.0 TDI 150hp 340nm manual]

@Ecomatt thank you! Any other hints or advices for me to take the decision?

[Revo or not ... for 2.0 TDI 150hp 340nm manual]

Hi forum,

I own the car from new (2016) and have 69k km with it. Recently changed antifreeze,no silica tank, water pump, belts and so on.

 

Then Revo came with a promo and now I'm struggling with a decision..To remap, or not

 

The engine is 2.0 TDI 150hp 340nm manual and is going ok for my family needs if safe driving. However I plan to keep it two-three more years and will appreciate some change in the power...They promise 185-190hp and ~400nm..

 

No plans to move to bigger brakes or bigger than current 16" wheels.

 

Here is what they wrote me.

Attaching the dyno charts as well.

 

 

DATA VALUES The Bosch EDC17 

Boost In standard form the boost will peak at 1.4bar tailing off to 1.0bar at 4500rpm. In Revo form boost will peak at 1.5bar and tail off to 1.0bar at 4500rpm

 

Fuel Mass In standard form expect to peak at 60mg/stroke around 1500-3000rpm, seeing 43mg/stroke at 4500rpm In Revo form expect to peak at 68mg/stroke 1800-3000rpm, seeing 49mg/stroke at 4500rpm

 

EGT In standard form expect to peak around 780ºc In Revo form expect to peak around 940ºc

 

Very stressing is the diff in EGT temperatures for me.

 

Anyone with hands-on experience with this combination. I don't want to risk too much, that's why Revo was on the spot.

 

Is this safe remap in general or I shall expect some premature wear in the components?

 

Cheers!

@KhalidQasrawi, it will come again. Yes in my case was similar - on/off but at the end I had to replace. Of course check first the cables.

[Coolant tank cap - loosly moving when closed]

Thank you, all !

 

You brought more peace in my mind 

[Check engine light - Car Scanner Pro diagnostic code 28253]

@KhalidQasrawi yes..it is indeed.

 

Attaching same error from very near past. They had changed the so called auxilary water pump, which is responsible also for faster engine heating.

 

 

[Coolant tank cap - loosly moving when closed]

Hi all,

recently I've changed lot of stuff, one of which is the coolant tank with the new one. Without silica.

 

However when I close it and I hear the "click" for the lock position, the cap is still moving in the horizontal surface (east/west, north/south).

 

Is that normal?The old one was tight and steady.

 

Attaching how it looks like..

 

Thank you!

update on the software update

 

... not sure if it's always applicable OR it's due to the software plus the fact my car is 5+ years old

 

... but the regens do take longer now

 

previously the duration was 16km approx, now is 32-36km

 

And this is not a single case but at least 5-6 detected regens.

 

I was told it's prolonging the life of the catalizator when it's aging

[Octavia 2.0 TDI 2017 - Coolant & Timing belt]

@homelessdrop how many km / miles and years you have? Just checking when is appropriate to change timing as I get different messages...

 

[The Mk3 Octavia TDI water pump thread]

@dmpc500 , depends. As discussed there are three water pumps. For example I got this error for the aux one

 

 

What is the error code you saw?

[2.0 TDI 150PS Engine rattle and slight “misfire”]

Mine has similar from brand new..cruising at constant city speed, at some point for a split of a second feels like someone lift slightly the pedal and returns it back.

[Strange engine sound]

@BATI2TA great feedback. Appreciated!

 

i was just about fed of water pump failure and questioning if I shall change the car or replace all pumps incl. vacuum-oil

 

You helped me save some money and spare me disappointment.

 

All the best!

[Campaign 23AX]

My car was updated 2.0 TDI 150hp 2016y.

Honestly recently lost little faith in the brand and thinking of replacement decided to update it. Who knows maybe it will also fix some other issues on the way by getting latest version.

However no major change noticied yet. Will keep posted here.

 

old and new version uploaded

 

p.s. kind of tired of vacuum-oil pump noise, DPF regens, silica bags, water pump unevitable failure, recently check engine (other water pump but for cooling the EGR or heating the cabin, not main engine one). Warranty is over soon and feeling kind of pressed to take decision. 62k km in the odometer.

Was your service done at a Skoda dealership?

Yes.

 

Thank you for your feedback, I will contact them again.

 

Appreciated

[Fake Overheating? Skoda Octavia... Advice needed!]

@tunedude I have 2.0 TDI and was not notified to change the cambelt by the service.

 

Can you please ellaborate?

[Longevity improvements? 150 Tdi]

Hi,

1) vacuum-oil pumps generate rattles when cold. 

2) water pumps tend to fail on 60-70k km

3) there is DPF sensor which tends to fail due to being placed very close to the DPF (melts at some point after 100k km

 

Good luck

[Strange engine sound]

@Peter1178 @BATI2TA - I'm sure first tine I've heard it was after first change of oil. Not sure what was the factory one but the new one was Castrol. I've changed afterwards few times Castol and Shell..no diff. Those are only approved here by the local dealer.

 

Can you please shed more light?

[Canton. The age old debate.🤪]

@TheUltraRunner - thank you, appreciated

[Canton. The age old debate.🤪]

@TheUltraRunner - thank you! Did you mean small spare wheel can be combined w/ Canton (which is pretty OK for me) or it can be also done with full sized spare wheel?

[Canton. The age old debate.🤪]

Hi, in any case before judging, wait for awhile so the speakers will set in.

 

For O4 does it mean that you can't have spare wheel at all, or it is positioned in the center of a spare wheel?
