Pre cat lambada they say should be replaced every 100k there abouts..as they get lazy. Have you changed the thermostat? Just there common to go wrong..I've replaced mine recently..and was showing normal on the gauge..but in vag-com it was showing little over 80c.

Best stage 3 kit ? JBSo4 OR APR III ?
swedey replied to Raj M's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Completely agree with the above.. I've been using my mates (my old stage 2 275/299) LCR for the last week, and that has rubbish tyres and no LSD fitted..and is worse than my car for wheelspin.. -

Another one with remote key problems
swedey replied to luisfribeiro's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Yes I'm sure you can just replace the chip/fob and reprogram it. You will deffo need the glass tube/immobiliser chip! Or else your car will not start.. Try the above first though.. -

When you say chip...do you mean the glass type tube that's inside the key fob? You can replace the key fob,but will need the chip out of you old key fob (this is for the immobiliser) and just reprogram the key fob to you car..which is easy. -
Back in the day... I used to unlock other "Austin" cars..was easy. I used to unlock my dads mg meastro with my mates allegro keys.. Never tried other VAG keys ..in other VAGs...

Well if it's been on the rollers and they guy has rollers..no doubt it's works fine. Like I said,people just need to be aware that there are a lot of cowboys out there! It's all to easy to get a laptop and cable and start flashing $hite maps...then call yourself a "mapper"
-
Seems well or is well? Has the car been on the rollers? I'm not for one min thinking that it don't go well.. But there are many many so called mappers that can flash a ecu..and that's it. I thought my LCR was ok..until I logged it..egt protection was kicking in.. AFR was 14.4 on full boost..,EGT was over 950! Not good at all... :( They ain't £99 for no reason..unless they have pirated someone's map.

swedey replied to Newcastle37's topic in Skoda Octavia Mk I (1996-2004)
Deffo IC if you want to get the full potential out if it..or WMI/meth. TIPs a good idea too..if you ain't got one.. Someone will be along RE injectors.. -
Have you logged the car?

Don't curse it now!!! Looks just like mine when I removed it..in 2 bits. Glad you got it sorted..and now the missis can stop whinging!! LOL

What ever your doing don't get an eBay "mapper?" To flash your ecu... (Ones that are usually £150) They don't know $hit...and will wack the boost up and nothing else.. IE it will run lean.. Get a proper mapper to do the job properly..there's plenty out there with a good reputation.. My recommendation is badger 5 too..
