Hi all, new Mk1 Octy vRS owner...

Hi

I'm picking up my Mk1 Octy VRS on saturday. I'm a mate of Fluffmeister's of this very forum, in fact you could say he's to blame for switching me on to the vRS since I took a spin in his Octy a couple of years back. :rotz: :rotz: :rotz: :thumbup:

Mine is the first standard one I've drove and I loved it, it out-handles my Golf Mk4 GTTDI by some margin and although it's a bit down on torque in comparison, it's begging for a remap and some extra ponies. :cool: :cool:

I need to get the water pump switched for the metal impeller version as a precaution because we can't tell from the reciepts whether it had a WP with the cambelt change at 60k or not. After that, all being well, I'll be looking at getting a P-torque remap :thumbup:

Still trying to work out what sort of difference a cold air intake would make as well as the remap?

Any tips welcome.

Advice wise, don't listen to anything Fatty5000 has to say about Octavia's :D:D:D

Welcome to the madness mate :thumbup: There's plenty of bikers on here to, a few old hands from VD.

Looking forward to Saturday then mate?

Hi and welcome!

There's plenty of bikers on here to, a few old hands from VD.

Interesting that, I'm a biker too and still log on to VD every now and again. Honda Deauville and Octivia Estate - what does that say about me? :)

Cheers, Manske
