Hi i have the 170bhp skoda octavial vrs 2006 diesel model just wondering what to do next for performance etc car is standard at present im wanting more mpg and performance , i dont always have my foot down as am a taxi driver

any help and advice would be great

FIRST i am thinking a k & n or pipercross air filter WHAT ONE IS BETTER ANY IDEAS ??k & n http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/SKODA-OCTAVIA-MK2-2-0-TDI-2004-2009-K-N-AIR-FILTER-KN-/290365063707?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item439b1b421b

pipercross http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Pipercross-air-filter-Skoda-Octavia-Mk2-2-0-TDI-04-/290269204644?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item43956490a4

SECOND i here a new egr gasket is worth doing normal i here is about 24mm and the new one is about 9mm suppose to be a lot better for the car here a few ppl have got it done and been good for £2 its worth doing i think ???

THIRD dpf filter cut out the dpf then weled back up obv then get the removal software on here good results from this not getting the pipe etc just remove filter just as easy still has bend in the pipe but need car standard

FORTH remap to suit it all

A friend of mine has a diesel vRS, and has had a Bluefin chip job done on it and says he's well happy with it, noticeable difference in the way it drives.

Plus he got the diagnostic port controller as part of the price, so he can remove the program when the car goes into the dealer for servicing then re add it when the car comes back.

Also not sure if it's still an offer, but at the time superchips were saying that if the bluefin didn't also show improved fuel consumption within 30 days you'd get your money back.

I'd have looked into it for my car but they don't do a Bluefin for the Mk1 Octavia vRS petrol.

Hope this helps.

don't waste money on an aftermarket filter - no performance increase and it filters worse than the oe unit

if you are concerned replace the oe air filter every 10k
