Re-mapping a mk3 Octavia 1.6 diesel estate issue
Unfortunately, it did not happen. For some reason, it was not possible to identify the particular ECU in my car, and have it remapped. I'm going to get back on this and see if any companies can / have a remap for this particular ECU.

Octavia VRS Virtual Speedo numbering
@TheWandererI have VCDS, but as you say, more hassle than it's worth. It was just an observation, having not noticed it before. VCDS could do it, as mentioned above, but i'll leave alone,

Octavia VRS Virtual Speedo numbering
@TheUltraRunnerit's not that it's an issue, just one of those things that's been noticed and doesn't make sense, to me anyway. Your KMH display looks even stranger with differences ranging from 20 Kmh to 50 Kmh. Surely speedo's are normally linear with the indicated speeds equidistant? You live and learn!!

Octavia VRS Virtual Speedo numbering
Does anyone else have a '22 plate Octy VRS estate where the virtual speedo numbering goes 120, 140, 180 !! The spacing between the figures is linear, and according to a Skoda dealer, the numbering is correct. Is this the case? TIA.

LED replacements for indicators and reversing lights.
That's where my latest ones are coming from. Will fit and see what happens.

LED replacements for indicators and reversing lights.
The only lamps I've changed are the reversing ones. I've some more coming from another source and some indicator ones. Odd that I have no warnings about defective lamps, just the maxidot indication.

LED replacements for indicators and reversing lights.
Well, fitted a couple of led replacements I had from an earlier car in the reversing lights, very bright, no warnings. However, now, with the engine running and any door open, I get a boot open indication in maxidot but no alarms. Feel I need to get vcds again!! Anyone else had the same or similar indications.?

Octavia 3, 1.6 TDI 85kW, wierd noise after engine shutdown
Diesel dpf regen cycle. Occurs when the dpf regen cycle has not completed when driving and continues for a while after stopping. Mine does the same.

tray under drivers seat
Had one fitted as standard on my old octavia under the passage seat. I retrofitted another one under the drivers seat. Wife's yeti had a passenger one as well. Must be a cost cutting exercise as my current 69 plate octavia estate only has the condon stowage.

Re-mapping a mk3 Octavia 1.6 diesel estate issue
After a discussion with Celtic, they do not believe there is a problem with re-mapping a Delphin. I've one of there Emotion+ devices inbound so we'll have a play and see what transpires. If it works, I've then got both the original map plus the new one to return it to the original state if it doesn't work. If not, time for a re-think.

Re-mapping a mk3 Octavia 1.6 diesel estate issue
This is the problem, what is the ECU type?. Of course it may not matter to some tuners so will drop the guys above a line and if I can get to mine, see if there's a makers ident on it. Cheers @AGFalco.

Re-mapping a mk3 Octavia 1.6 diesel estate issue
Made an enquiry today of a local re-mapping company, about a remap. Initially, I was asked if I knew what ECU was fitted I.e. Delphin/Bosch, I couldn't answer that one so they said leave it with them and they'll do some digging, the reason beIng that they don't/can't remap a Delphin ECU. Got in touch with a local dealer who kindly found out from ETKA the part number, 04L 906 056 TJ 5E0. Quick search threw up it was a Delphin. Received a phone call from the company a little later this afternoon, basically, they couldn't carry out a remap as the required data file was possibly only in the development stage. So, what, realistically, are my options, does anyone know if Delphin ECU'S can't be remapped in general, or are there companies that can. Is an external tuning (DTUK tuning box etc) now the only option. Any suggestions / info gratefully received.

Boot open warning randomly comes on
Unfortunately never managed to find anything suitable. Using a lower voltage filament lamp only works in the short term before burning out, and therefore not worth it. Did start on the route of measuring the resistance of a standard filament lamp, then looked to purchase a resistor and solder it line to "cheat" the system into thinking it was a standard lamp. Unfortunately got rid of the car before I solved the issue. Perhaps it's time to start again with the new car.

Boot open warning randomly comes on
Led boot lights causes an imbalance in the canbus system and causes random alarm indications. As already stated, open glovebox when moving, boot open warning comes on. Use of passenger vanity mirror illumination has the same affect. I've not come across anyway to code this out, the only thing to do is fit brighter lamps if possible.
