thanks Mate 1st time been able to get back on here, its playing up on my phone so fired lapdog up tank you berry mush

Just went to fit a new headunit, took the old after market one out and found that the quadlock connector has been chopped out, and wiring spliced. The new unit comes with to different ISO connectors but these are useless with the factory connector chopped out. If someone has a picture of the wiring at the back of the original wiring connector. But Ideally I need colour code wiring for the headunit on a mk2 octavia 2013 . Im assuming Skoda/vw of that era used a standardised wiring and head unit connector. Thanks in advance

or maybe it was darkside development.

thanks for the reply evolution. Im not after chasing silly figures, but when i was messing with my MGTF we used to do stuff like swapping injectors for ones from other MG cars, porting throttle body and air intake, uprated fuel pumps etc. I think Re Performance have a well pimped up 1.6 just to highlight their skills. BTW while im here, anyone know if the suspension of anything else is any good for a mk2 estate? wondering if any aftermarket shocks n springs i might come across from a saloon or maybe of any other VAG will fit. Maybe mk5 golfs are a poss donor? I like to do my mods via scrapyards, ebay, fb and marketplace etc😂

Dont all rush in 🙄

Just wondering as seen this with other makes of car. Can you fit larger injectors, fuel pump, and turbo 4 example, when trying to tune up/improve a 1.6tdi? Was going to take it to be professionally mapped, and wanted to have mods done b4 hand. Anyone played at this with the 1.6 cayc engine? Dpf/egr removal also maybe, sports cat?

Holy thread revival !!!!😮 Got to say this thread is basically useless, when people say " ive changed this that and the other" and then put up no details whatso ever on how to do it. Is there a post any where , that shows the method and coding etc for each adaption. At the moment I only want to do basic things like, door unlock, seatbelt warning, interior lights, wiper behaviour etc. Ta in advance 4 any reply

thanks for the reply sakta!

I know that, hence why i said as much in the original post. (re VCDS and not being any use for mapping/ecu reads) Will have to have a look again at ross tech site tho for more info on using VCDS. I wonder if they use a special OBD2 lead to hook up to a laptop for doing maps or just a generic one, and its the software package that does most of the stuff? Im going to have to get googling, doesnt look like many people on here are doing much in the way of mapping.

As above really would like to learn a bit, who on here knows what websites there are out there re mapping? Whats the basics you can use with a windows PC? Ive already got an ODB2 faullt code tablet for diag, but it doesnt allow access to check if ECU has been previously mapped. Also have VCDS full version, but havent played with it much since I got it. Believe that you cant do owt with VCDS either re the ECU?? And whilst We are on the subject of VCDS, is there a good guide on here or elsewhere on how to use it to get the best/most out of it? Thanks In advance Paul B

gone?

as per title really need the following for a superb 2014 3t5 estate nearside doors and wing Grey only. also blufin with map for 2.0 tdi CFHC? 140bhp engine Can you if you have none of these but are clever! confirm that CFHC is the correct engine code. Car is def 2.0 tdi CR with a dsg box Tanks Berry mush

If you are the previous Owner or know the previous owner of this VRS please get in touch urgently . Was damaged last year. I know the names of 2 of the owners from phone records, but cant access a number for them. Also know it came from around St Albans and was last serviced by Citygate st albans AL1 1XB either PM me if old owner or if you think you know them pass on my details Pls

does about 35.6mpg round town

still on the 2nd hand tuning box, update from 2day, been on an airport run and unsurprisingly MPG was much better averaging 45mpg. Car does go like stink now, even preety responsive in eco mode. box is dialled down too program 2 minus 3 setting. But MPG is pants for a diesel round town. had loads of diesels before and not as bad as this. Might run it without the box with the next tank to compare.

What if you put a tuning box on a car, but for my sake a VRS but its already been remapped by previous owner and I dont know about it? What happens? whats the likely result, remap plus extra or as id suspect the tuning box is going to be fighting with the tune and you end up with worse? Anyway to check if your cars been remapped other that getting it dyno'ed?

theres no way you can get to controller underneath from below or without taking bumper off to get light out to replace it

quick update, took the bloody bumper off to get headlight out😡 so annoying you have to do this. anyhoo the ballast/ driver unit underside of headlamp is buggered, water ingress, tried to clean it up and also tried replacing a coroded component, got the soldering iron out etc. No joy Its shagged. just ordered a replacement unit

how you do that? still learning

so you can turn off your DRL via the headunit, but its a mot fail if you do so for night time, when you have headlights and dont need DRL's?? Sounds a bit mad.

trying to hunt down the owner of this car, bit of a long shot but ive not much else to go at

As per title how do you turn off LED daytime running light strips in VCDS? and also why is it , that even though ive installed english version, when you go through the list of adaptions for example its still in german? Not very helpful

im in preston and have VCDS 😉

Holy Thread revival!!!🤣 As Im a Cheap bugger Im rather alarmed with some of the suggestions on how to fit a sub to standard VRS head unit. I thought I could just splice into speaker wiring and use as a feed for amp and SUB???? I have the opportunity to pick up a amp and decent speaker in a custom boot box for a V low price and was hoping to just be able to do as above and provide a switched live feed. Is this not an option? Im not going to bother with a sub if ive got to spend a bomb to fit one

I wouldnt want to bother the DTUK guys with an enquiry about a 2nd hand box. I know boxes are car specific as in a box thats been on a bimmer is no good for a Octy. But im not having it, that a box for a VW group car, with same engine,same gearbox,same ecu and same BHP is going to be different. donor car was a 2.0tdi 2015 plate DSG @184bhp from a cuna, and recipient is the same. You only need to look under the bonnet of any skoda,audi,seat etc and you can see same parts Say oil filter under there if the engine is same size / year for example. I refitted it today for a laugh/experiment, ran like ****e in a few programs/settings. But seems fairly good/happy on 2.0 or 2 -1 will see how it goes and if it throws up an error /DTC or if coil light appears. P.s. ta 4 replies
