@petrolbloke Already have the Audi s5 2012 v8 engine. Kinda wanted to start a new project on the Octavia. To be honest I will never find an engine of the 1.8T in here, I order most of the parts online from Europe. That's why I wanted to modify the current engine other that shipping the whole engine (it has its risks of being broken, has issues.... etc). Moreover, is boosting the 1.8T to 280+ HP true?

Yes. it is 5 speed gearbox and its non turbo 116 hp. The 1.8 liter actually comes in 2 engines, one of them is turbo charged which produce 180hp.

Hi Warrior193, The car is 144,649 miles. Couple of months ago, I have replaced all worn out parts in the engine component. I had a bit of oil leakage, but its running like new now and no other issues since then.

I have Octavia ML1 2002 which is 2.0 non turbo. I am planning to fit the vrs turbo kit under the hood. I do believe it is providing around 180 hp and its not what I need, as I am looking for minimum 250hp. I have been told that the stock turbo of the vrs could be boosted to provide 300hp. Is it true? Fitting a manufacturer turbo would be the best option for me as it has been advised. Or do I just need to fit in a aftermarket turbo charge? Is there any that fits under the hood without the headache of lots of modifications?

Hi, I have decided to start modifying my Skoda Octavia Mk1 U engine (like adding turbo...) but really don't know where to start. It's the APK 2.0 petrol engine type on stock. Your help will be great.

actually unplugging it removes the engine hesitation while accelerating, But still stalls as mentioned the symptoms on topic. Will do check the wiring.

I actually have the car checked with a computer and te error code related to MAF was P0102: Mass Or Volume Air Flow Circ :low input this is the last one I tried. Not sure what its type. https://en.ridex.eu/product/8053948

I have checked that car for stalling while driving. Engine goes off when I put the gear on Neutral or when I press the clutch down for like 3 seconds. When the car is on a gear, it never cut off. I have suspected the MAF and tried like 5 of them, all 5 makes the car lacks power when accelerating or pushing the accelerator pedal real quick. its like hesitating and shaking. When I unplug the MAF sensor, it works normally, except for the symptoms mentioned above. I really dont know whats happing (could all the tested MAFs be broken? or there is something else could cause a new working MAF to make the car hesitate while accelerating?). I have also replaced the Air filter, just in case. Any advice!!!

@DeanVRS20VT @andy68 A question off the topic. What is the switch behind the clutch pedal for? My car crank and starts without the need to press the pedal. Its Manual transmission, too.

@DeanVRS20VT I see. Any advice on how to fix it?

I am facing a strange noise when starting the engine lately. And it seems to appear when ever the car cools down. Check attached video. 20201205_072612_1_1.mp4

Did you get the issue solved. I currently have the same issue.

This actually worked. It shifts normally now. Many thanks sir

I have Octavia 2001 2.0 it's been a while since I have any issues with it. A month ago 1st gear was really hard to shift and everyday pass it gets worst until it refuses to shift to 1st gear at all. It's like the 1st gear spot is not there anymore and when I try to force it, it shift to 3rd gear. Lately, I found a work around. So when I push down the gear stick a bit (feels like shifting reverse), it shift normally and softly to the first gear without any issues!!! And when I want to shift reverse I will have to push down the stick a bit harder (sometimes it take couble of tries to get it right). I have tried shifting from under the hood and it works normally. Any ideas on what could cause this to happen? Some mechanics asked me to change the oil, others were like (The car is old you need a gearbox !!!!)
