    Rolling road day graph

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    Intake temp were getting high on the RR' date=' though. :mad: Need a BFOFMIC :thumbup::thumbup:[/quote']

    Water was sprayed on the intercooler to keep the soak at a minimum..the Seat was using the SMIC same as mine ....

    Thanks DGW at the moment i dont realy have the time to sort the problem but at least i can say there is a problem and im not just imagining it.

    it work for a good year until it lost power... two things happened i put in a tank of optimax (it was a 95 ron map) and the service light came on.

    since then jabba have seviced it to report no problems...

    Problem is the list of things it could be is as long as your arm... however im still thinking leak.... maybe from the DV it is well over a year old now... it could be letting out pressure when car goes on full boost. one day i will get a car that works a swop over a few key bits DV N75 MAF etc and see if it makes a diffrence.

    Since the remapp i have put on and taken off a FMIC and swoped to a CAI

    Octavia vRS boost problem.

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Hi all,

    Long time since i have been on here been busy with one thing or another you know how it is...

    At last i have had my VRS on a rolling road and suspions have been confirmed there is a deffinate problem somewhere with the VRS. This all started some time ago before christmas '05 i thought i had a lost of power but was also due for a service took the car for a service where it came back with a clean bill of health no fault codes etc... the service was done at jabba.

    Still in mind there was a problem but how could i prove it, maybe i was imiagining it maybe id just got use to the power so didnt feel powerfull any more...anyone else who drove it would have thought it was fine but as its my car i knew diffrent. Finally getting this confirmed on sunday 188bhp! with a jabba remap, CAI, and blueflame sports cat and exhaust 188bhp i dont think so... the operator on the day said the car just gave up boosting at 15psi then dropping back to ten then dissappered completly....

    Im thikning boost leak, N75, or DV but where to start with my other project taking prority i dont want to spend alot of money replacing this replacing that to find they dont make a diffrence at the moment the problem is more an innconvience then a real problem.

    i wish what ever was on the fritz woudl just give up completely and then i could zero in on the problem.

    However my other therory is could the remap dissapear?? get confussed?? loose its setting?? become corrupt?? the car has been chnaged sevral times since the map was done eg Tip added, fmic added (then removed again) diffrent air filter added, one tank of optimax (95 ron remap) etc remap never been touched since jabba dont seem very willing to do tweeks they want to chrage you for a full remap again if you chnage you set up.

    Thanks

    Glove Box Door Rattle

    in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)

    Posted

    I have this problem on the Octy. Seems to come from the mechanism/ bar assembly rattling when it's closed. I have found that it doesn't rattle when it is pushed in tight or held out a bit' date=' where the metal bar is tight against the plastic and has no room to rattle.

    I have found that a small strip (3 or 4 cm) of rubber draught excluder stuck at either side of the glove box (just beside where the bar goes into the dashboard/ fixed plastic holes) will stop the rattle when the glove box door is closed against it. This reduces the movement, and gives a tighter close.

    in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)

    Posted

    Hi all,

    Please don't delete this as its not a for sale post and am aware of the rules of the forum.

    I'm mearly asking what people would be prepaired to pay for a second hand ABD FMIC as i plan to soon put one on an auction site and want to get my reserve at the right price. Its only a few months old in immacualte condition. Also i wanted to put on a ABD TIP to the same auction site do you think i shoudl put the TIP on the same auction or would i get more for it on a seperate auction. What do you think is a fair price for one?

    thanks

    Joel
