Hey! The after-tune figures are fine for CUPA engine. To go higher than that you need other mods, such as larger ehaust and better cooling.

Hello to all you guys! Just found the topic while browsing all night about 2.0 TDI CUNA/CUPA engines. I've bought a '16 Skoda Octavia 3, CUNA with 4x4 and DSG. It had 108.000 KMs on the clock. The mileage has not been rolled back and it is backed up by the service history. Of course, the oil had been changed every 2yr/30.000 KMs... The day i bought the car i've replaced all fluids and filters(engine, dsg, haldex, brakes) and in terms of engine oil i've used Liqui Moly 5w30. After 7000 KMs the oil checklight came on. Had to top it up, put in about 450-500 ml of fresh oil. I've been keeping an eye on it since that moment and for the next 3000 Kms till i changed the oil again i put in the other 500Ml that were left in the bottle. The car ran mostly on highway and exterior roads, city driving took up at most 25% of the total ok 10.000Kms. Now i'm using VW oil, 0w30. Topped it up right then. 4.8-4.9 Litres. Just for test. 2500-3000 KMs since then. About 1500-2000km done on highway. After an Easter trip of 800 Kms, the level on the stick was slightly above middle. Put in 250-300 ml this morning. It is topped up again. We'll see how it evolves. Mentions: - the car is remapped(engine+dsg), don't really know the hp but i'm guessing around 210. I haven't asked for maximum gain but for.. hmm.. "optimisation" ! :) - it is driven quite sporty I'm no stranger to oil consumption. Before the Skoda i used to own a Passat B6 2.0 BKP, Stage 3. That one, even when stock, using castro, 5w30, it would pop the light after 3000-5000 kms on highway and sporty driving. But after using 5w40 Liqui, it didn't burn any oil between services of ~7000 kms. And it had around 270bhp on dyno. And it was also 4x4, but manual. So an oil consumption of 1L/10.000 Kms does not worry me that much. It's a pretty meaty engine and i drive it quite fast. So it's not the end of the world. I just hope it won't start going down south.. slurping more and more oil. Saw that picture with the piston head, Dayum. That kina got me worried. I still believe that the worst thing that can happen to these cars when new and in their first years of existence is that warranty period and the service intervals of 30.000km/2yr that it implies. Such garbage... When these cars take up - according to the manual - up to 0.5l/1000km! P.s. Sorry for my rusty English!
