Upgrading Front Fog Lights on 2019 Octavia Scout
Just for info to all, In my 2019 SE, I have all Philips Ultinon Pro9000 2 Pairs H7 - No Dazzle or bad effects 1 Pair H11 for Fog lights - Yes these particular H11 fit and our circa 35% brighter than H8, with other H11's some "ring" adaption is required with tins snips but these fitted first time. A lot of money, hard to justify for many but awesome results No Canbus errors or any negatives, save up!

Mapping TDI advise
Hi, Superchips may have an issue with the ECU on my 2019 plate 2.0 Tdi 150, I want to confirm the ECU type fitted, any suggestions how? I thought it would have been the same ECU and my old Superb MY2018 as same SCR engine but maybe not? Any thoughts?

Front Headlight Upgrade
For H7 the best are, Philips RacingVision GT200 - Most Light For H15 sorry no idea as not in my facelift model, choice seems limited. If you have H8 fogs I can confirm with small mod using tin snips these will fit for a big light upgrade, simply take out your H8's and trim the metal H11 connectors to match. Philips X-tremeVision Pro150 H11 or for White look Philips WhiteVision ultra. Basically 55W bulbs in place of 35W circa an extra 500lm, fuses don't blow and all was fine after a 1 hour test I did but can't guarantee long term. All these bulbs are new for 2020, I'm happy with them but then I'm a Philips fanboy! https://www.philips.co.uk/c-m-au/car-lights/headlights/latest#availability=all&filters=CAR_HEADLIGHTS_SU&page=2&layout=12

Mapping TDI advise
Sorry missed this one, for the Superb same Tdi 150 SCR engine and manual gearbox, the whole thing felt more lively and immediate at all revs, more torque to start with and mid range felt mighty is how I remember it. I only just have the new car but will do soon and report back.

Headlight Upgrade
Ok so the 2020 Philips RacingVision GT200 went into today and have just been tested, very impressed as by far the best halogen I have seen, I bought from ABD. If they burn out I buy more, price will be more sensible soon. I have the facelift model so full beam also H7, had some old but unused Philips RacingVision 150's for those, good but 50% less than the GT's but can live with that as full beam use limited. Loved how easy the fit was, has been a real pain on some cars! FYI picture or original H7 provided I also want to change the front indicator bulbs, look awkward, anyone done it?

Mapping TDI advise
Superchips and bluefin get my vote as so easy to return to stock before sending to dealer, did it on my former Superb 150 TDi and the results were excellent, will do the Octavia soon. Or Revotechnik, avoid the cheap "Race chips". Darkside look good, they have a youtube channel For your car superchips say +34BHP and +109NM, that torque figure is impressive, 489NM total!
