Well I can at least add my experience on fuel consumption. I have 2011 2.0 VRS Petrol. It has also had a remap (seriously such an improvement). There are 3 driving modes: Brisk i.e. My usual. - 24-28mpg. Weeeeeee. Everyone else's normal - average 34-36mpg. Steady motorway 55mph mode activated for longer journeys (think Nottingham to London M1) - 38-40mpg I really find that how you drive it can have a huge effect on fuel economy. I only ever use Shell V-power.

Still no resolution here roaddetective? Hmmmm....just a silly question, but did you change the ignition coils recently/since remap? They were the first thing to pop on mine, and the symptoms on these cars are that they go crazy juddering and EPC light. When my first one blew it was ok when i started the car next day for a few miles only. Then the 2nd one blew a week later. Cheap to change at about £20 each. So hope you get this sorted, even more so as I just noticed you have the exact same model engine, year and colour car as me it seems. If you fancy a drive to Leicestershire I have a guy can do the map for £150. Can probably use the same remap he used on mine. @TheClient. I would still say it's worth trying. The car is just superb after a remap. My own issues were probably down to age rather than anything else although the map was done 3 times due to a turbo underboost issue which was soon resolved by my guy. Cost - Remap (£150), ignition coils x 4 (£90), Uprated Sachs clutch kit + flywheel(yeah i know overkill but **** it (£1200 fitted). Of course, the day I got it back after the clutch was fitted someone keyed my bonnet because life hates me....so shall I add £300 for respray? Sigh. :-(

Well, I've done 1000 miles since new clutch and no further problems. Driving like a dream. Car is much nicer after remap to be honest. Any news your side roaddetective?

It certainly needs a firmer push on the pedal, not smooth pressure like the OEM. I really like it to be fair and pretty much only notice it in early gears. Best of luck getting the injector issue resolved, hate it when you just don't know the exact cause.

Right, got the clutch fitted and Wow the difference! The Sachs clutch feels lovely. Much firmer than my old one. So car is now working after a 5-6 weeks of issues. That's the good news, the bad news is I drove 100 miles to Blackpool to see family and some F*&%$£t decided to key the bonnet. 2-3 foot gouge. Thanks for that. Why do some people just want to see the world burn? Absolutely gutted!

Ah not the remap then. Cool.

I did have a turbo underboost issue after mine was remapped. There was a clicking sound from the ECU when coasting at 60=65mph. A few tweeks to the map sorted it...

If it's any consolation, I'm also still having issues. Ignition coil blown twice,and now need a new clutch. It's at 78k though so guess not toally out of the blue. Decided to get a Sachs performance clutch fitted whilst im doing it. Good job I don't drink or smoke! £1200! Dam!

Yup, slight trim with a dremel and is all good. No real problem opening it once done. :-)

Hehe, the eyebrows I get, but the honeycomb looks far far better in real life than the big silly straight down OEM style, and it matches the parts below it. The chrome just had to go....

Ah...listen to this guy. I haven't got a scoobie if I'm honest :-)

I have an Octavia VRS 2011 Facelift and it uses the MPPS cable.

Torque UK - 07871409184 local to Loughborough and on Facebook. Mobile van. Though I'm guessing it will be same price as remap as well...they are remapping it.

Also worth noting my car has 77k miles on, ive been throwing it about a bit since I bought it at 63k. It's at that point where things need replacing anyways, and I'm guessing the re-map has just quickened things that were on the way out anyways. Just hope this is the last bit then I can enjoy the new feel for a bit. roaddetective - I've been advised to get an 'uprated' clutch. Any ideas on a good replacement? Apparently I should get a better than OEM one.

Yup, still get a little turbo lag.
