I have been experimenting with these settings lately. The stock setting on my Ibiza fr was 21. Seems the most balanced so far. I tried setting 41. It seems way too light ! Too much assist ! Setting 20 was a bit heavier than stock at low speed, i liked it. Another interesting setting was 81. Its like turning off the assist. The feel on high speed corners is perfect but its annoying in city driving. If it was just a bit more assisted in low speed it would be perfect. I will try setting 40 within the next few days.

Oh, yes. The CTHF engine. Still a detuned cupra/vrs/gti engine. Maybe the new software makes it less noticeable that the engine is barely working 😆. On the CAVF you could see even from a dyno graph that the engine was limited on purpose and in a clumsy way. It would just hit a target power output and stay there. The power curve of the cavd (160ps) is way better.

145 before the remap. 198-202 on a few runs after the remap. We tried pushing it to 220 fo one run. It was possible but i did not want to abuse the engine. i think the engine you are referring to is the next gen 1.4 without the supercharger (some of them also had act). It could only be mapped to ~170 but still it was very quick even stock and very fuel efficient compared to the twincharger. My engine is just a detuned version of the cave and you could definitely feel it when stock. No power at all on high rpm !

Thank you for the info ! I replaced spark plugs and coils myself. I used ngk and beru zse 030. I was thinking about the injectors and carbon build up as the seems to sometimes hesitate during high load- low rpm conditions. Something like a misfire but without any fault codes. Now that you mentioned that this maybe be an early sign of timing chain failure I am even more worried ! My injectors should be the older variant than the ones you would find in most Vrs as its an early 2009. The new injector were used since mid 2010, right ? I will avoid any spray cleaner for the intake and just clean them the right way of possible. The supercharger belt replacement may be an issue. I have not yet found any garage that has done this kind of work on a Tsi ! Hello ! Thanks ! Yes, its the 150ps variant, CAVF engine with a custom, fairly conservative remap. Not aiming for any big power gain.

The section should be correct. Ibiza 6j is the same generation as mk2 fabia and engine is the same as vrs. Maybe an admin can move my post to a more suitable thread or a new thread ? Thanks

Hello ! Just joined this forum. I dont own a skoda but i have a seat ibiza 6j. I like that I could find way more info on this forum compared to others ! Nice job ! I have a few questions about servicing my car and i did not want to create a new thread. So, my car is a very early tsi ibiza. 7/2009 with a cavf engine, dsg (like a fabia vrs) and currently at 56k miles. -I have been using liqui moly 4200 for the last few years. Would you recommend a better oil ? Castrol edge 5w30 LL or mobil esp 5w30 would be better ? I was thinking about also using an oil additive. Maybe liqui moly ceratec or motorkote hyper lubricant. -Does the supercharger belt need replacing ? I cannot find any info about it. I will replace the serpentine belt due to its age. -The injectors are a common failure on these engines. I have not had any issues yet. Maybe a few very random misfires at high load, low- mid revs without triggering any codes. (Spark plugs and coils are new, less that 3k miles). Should I clean and rebuilt them just in case ? -Would any of these valve cleaning sprays that are used via the intake have any noticeable effect on cleaning carbon deposits ? I suspect that my engine maybe suffering from carbon build up. -Sometimes I can hear a rattling noise from the engine during start. Just for a second and not on cold starts ! Usually when the car has been sitting for 4-5 hours. Sound like the chain stretching but i cannot confirm it. Are there any other early signs that indicate a chain tensioner failure ? Thank you for your help !
