Latest Maxton design rear diffuser revision 2

Wow, that's not good. Mine is fine. Have you sent the pictures to the dealer? -
Help with code please
Gripper845 replied to Gripper845's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk III (2013 - 2020)
Thanks guys. -
Afternoon all. Can anyone explain this code to me. It came up on my OBDELEVEN after getting an engine light and "start stop error" caption. I can clear it but it occasionally reappears. Is it serious? I have a bluespark performance unit fitted. Skoda said no faults were found when I took it in for diagnostic and bluespark said their tuning box "shouldn't" throw that code out. P023600 Thanks in advance. I'm a bit of a worrier when I get dash lights illuminated. Car is a 2019 245 vrs

Sikoflex and tiger seal will cure in lower temperature but takes longer. Self tappers will secure it in place during the process. -

Good point about the tiger seal. Luckily I have a warm garage I can leave my 245 in once done. I used self tappers for the skirts too, as a belt and braces solution. Will order the diffuser shortly. It's all I need to finish my car off. -

Evening Danielwhitt. I too am thinking of getting one of these. I already have the Maxton side skirts fitted. Did you use tiger seal/sikoflex to secure it. That's what I used for the side skirts. I held them in placed with two jacks and a plank of Wood until they were bonded. -
Petrol Tuning, specifically DTUK

I have fitted one-one my TFSI 245bhp mk3. I'm very please with it (I've fitted one to 4 cars previously too). I notice much better response and less turbo lag. I did have a throttle response module fitted before but it is not as good. I find I get better fuel economy too, when not driving like Colin Mcrea. Well worth it in my opinion. Good bunch of helpful guys to if you phone them. -
No, not at all. Very sedate.

I haven't but can record one tomorrow mate.

Its good. Certainly not boy racer loud but a nice rumble on start up and during gear changes. Mine is a manual.

As you can see in the rear spoiler phot, I have also removed the rear wiper. Ugly pointless item anyway.
