    Tdi 90 REMAP anyone had it done?

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted · Edited by Felicia racer

    hey guys

    anyone had their octy 1.9Tdi 90bhp remapped?

    If you have...

    1. Was it a good improvement in power & torque?
    2. Did the fuel economy change much? better/worse?
    3. Where did you have it done & how much?

    There's a garage around here that does REVO remaps, thought I might give it a try :)

    Also been looking at;

    not sure as this is the 100bhp.

    Skoda Octavia SDI or 1.9TDI?

    I've got the TDi 90

    with 128,000 on the clock, not as high mileage as the others but still going strong.

    Getting 50mpg on a hard 'foot down' drive

    60mpg economically driving, with overtaking bursts from 60 - 90mph on dual carrageway

    80mpg real economic driving, with a already warm engine :)

    £55 a tank of diesel lasts 550 miles :)

    155ft lbs of torque is fantasic for driving in 5th everywhere :thumbup: especially uphill

    An octavia fault that is annoying is door/mirror/window gremlins, caused by corroded terminals in the door cards.

    another alloy question

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    They look more like Pro Race 1's not 1.2's.

    Tyre size depends on what width of wheel your going for.Post your width up and also what size tyres you have on it now.

    I would go for a 16" or maybe even 17" wheel,rather than a 15"

    They could be 1's I only just googled it quickly for a photo.

    Cool I'll have a look at the standard sizes later on, thanks.

    wont bigger size alloys throw the speedo off?

    hey guys

    Sorry about making another alloy thread, the others dont quite have the info I want.

    Ive currently got the standard 15" steel wheels on my octavia 1.9Tdi GLX 1999

    IIRC someone said all the octavia mk1 alloys have the same fittings, 5 stud, and the same offset.

    What are the standard figures again please?

    I've been thinking about getting these; (not from there though).

    http://www.madmotors.co.uk/catalog/team-dynamics-race-white-blue-tyres-pi-23275.html

    Has anyone tried these, team dynamics pro race 1.2?

    What tyre sizes should I be buying to go with the 15" aftermarket alloys?

    standard huge profile tyres or lower profiles?

    Thanks

    intermittant Noise when pulling away from a junction

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    Hey guy's.

    My Octavia is making a weird noise when I pull away from a junction, I only notice it usualy from when the engine is cold.

    After just braking then pulling away with about 1200 revvs, not being harsh with the clutch either...

    Its a kind of moaning/screetching (but not ear splitting noise), it lasts for about a second and is gone again, and its intermittant.

    Anyone know what it could be.

    Also does anyone know how to take the lumbar support knob out of the front drivers seat, as mine is broken and doesn't adjust?

    Which is the brightest bulb to go for ?

    Ok, when bikers stop running main beam all the time, shining their headlights in my eyes or mirrors...

    Thats a rather subjective opinion, Bikes headlights are generally higher than a car.

    Thats why you think your being blinded by a high beam when we are close, where in actual fact we dont all ride around on high beam, if we did then you'd really know about it.

    Im running Osram silverstars on my bike, and im looking to upgrade the bulbs in the octy,

    I'll probably go with the silverstars again for the car as well,

    from previous experience they produce a good beam and a bright white light, and I havnt had one go yet. :)

    90bhp diesel boost controller

    yes see i read about nos a few months ago, and i thought it was a brilliant idea since it cant harm a diesel engine :)

    But my nearest refilling station i can find is 60 miles away :eek:

    I read somewhere on here that fitting the 110 bhp models injectors would help. :confused:

    Anyone know how much they are or the part number for them?

    Nitrous on a DIESEL octavia

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted · Edited by Felicia racer

    hey guy's.

    Ok so yesterday I stumbled upon this video.

    VW golf diesel 1900 auto. with nitrous

    And then I found this from Nitrous experts NX.

    Im seriously contemplating fitting this to my octavia now.

    FAQ.

    Nitrous Express Diesel Frequently Asked Questions

    Main diesel page.

    Nitrous Express Diesel Nitrous Systems

    Q. Can you use nitrous on a diesel engine?

    A. Of course, diesels love nitrous and are the only application that nitrous can actually make the engine safer to operate.

    Q. What is the worst case damage scenario dealing with nitrous and a diesel engine?

    A. When using nitrous on a compression combustion engine the absolute worst case scenario is that the intake charge is cooled so much that the engine loses fire and has to be restarted, that’s it! You don’t even have to wait to restart it, just hit the key and go.

    Q. How much nitrous can you use on a stock diesel engine?

    A. Of course the amount varies with the application, the larger the engine the more nitrous you can use. However on most pick-ups and small truck applications up to 150 HP can be gained safely.

    Q. What about torque?

    A. The amount of torque produced when nitrous is applied is huge, it is possible to produce up to 1600 pound feet of torque on a street driven truck!

    Q. Why does nitrous work on a diesel?

    A. Nitrous provides additional oxygen to burn more fuel, much like a larger turbo. However it has one move valuable feature, it is extremely cold, thus providing a tremendous amount of intercooling. Nitrous is 127 degrees below zero when it is injected into the intake.

    thoughts?

    recycled air strange noise

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    hey guy's

    I've got a octy glx 1.9tdi 90.

    When driving I had the A/C and the recycled air on, when I parked up I left the buttons to ON, and just turned the ignition off.

    I noticed the light was still on, on the recycled air button and a strange werring noise was coming from the left side of the car behind the dash.

    So I turned it off, and it stopped.

    just to check I pressed the switch again and it did the same thing.

    Why is this working with the igniton key out?

    The werring noise didn't sound right, anyone heard of anything strange going on with the rc/air?
