Shark Group Buy - now closed

Keith_VRS · 1 March, 2011

I'm quite glad I found this group buy.. I've been considering a remap for a while, and this offer seems too good to miss out on, especially a second time around.

I'm running a mk1 Octy vRS 1.8T, currently stock, but with uprated DV. However, it's up to 84000 miles. Please could someone convince me that all will be fine should I plug in an STS with a stage 1 map? Mechanically, she is fine, well looked after and the cambelt was changed at 60k.

As said at the beginning of the buy, it's well worth joining up to Freedom for this deal alone!

Is it as simple as plug in the STS and replace the stock map with the Shark map?

Rgds,

Keith.

It will be fine. I had an Audi a3 that I had remapped at 80k after doing the belt and waterpump and it went fine until I sold it at 110k.

Hi all,, will this map be ok for my 2.0pd vrs??, or will i need to get the dpf taken out..

On the website all the PD engines show up as being STS compatible, just the CR 170 that needs ECU in person, check the below link and select your exact engine to see for yourself.

On THIS page yours is:

'Skoda Octavia (1Z) 2004-2009 vRS 2.0TSi 211PS'

thanks

whats the difference between the tsi and the tfsi ?

Wardy · 1 March, 2011

Quite a bit.

TSI is chain driven, more economical and slightly more powerful in std spec. Should give better remap potential against the TFSi.

Keith my last car I am currently selling is a remapped, LPG converted 1.8t seat Leon that has 163000 on the clock and us fine as I looked after it

disbloke · 1 March, 2011

I've gone for it and my Octy has 86k on the clock. Never had a mechanical blip and has always had the maintenance done as and when so I'm same as you Keith, long time thinking all the time racking up more miles!

Have noticed on the list that I'm red but not with "paid" alongside... (I have paid). Roll on late/end March

lucy_t · 2 March, 2011

Dear Shark,

On a kind of similar note - high performance fuels.

is the remap designed to work with higher octane fuels?

Would it improve my MPG if I used the "expensive Diesel" from Shell over that of the "Normal Diesel"? :S

SimonK24 · 2 March, 2011

I am also very interested in this great offer, I have sent you an email Ben with a few questions regarding the different turbo on my car

Keith_VRS · 2 March, 2011

It's nice to know that people are still mapping their cars when they reach higher mileage. Puts my mind at ease, sort of..

I really don't want to miss out on this offer. May give Shark a call and let them convince me over the phone.

I'm only reluctant because I'm racing this year and ~£300 is race entries and a set of tyres for a round. I'm struggling to justify the expense on my car.

Forgive me for being thick but what's the total cost of this now and what comes in the post exactly?

Thanks

mjrose · 2 March, 2011

Can the STS unit read the fault codes of other vehicles (Eg our aygo) or is it fully linked to the remapped vehicle (potentially an Octavia 105PD)?

Thanks

Huw Pugh · 2 March, 2011

I was just going to ask the same. I'm not on the list but want to join in, but just wondering what happens if i pay and not all 30 people pay by the 12th.

pully · 2 March, 2011

Â£269.31 with freedom discount sts box comes in the post plug into your car and read the code then email shark with your code they then email you a code specifically for your car "simples"

Dom T · 2 March, 2011

Well, all I have done is read the first post, :wonder:

and it says

If you have a favia VRS, then

Freedom member gets 10% off the map so £269.10

STS is free as long as the 30 people pay up.

The sts comes in the post (and a free shark performance sticker)

I would assume it would be able to read faults on the same ecu types, i.e bought for a fabia vrs, worls on a fabia vrs. But dont hold me to this. I have VCDS which reads all of the VAG group cars, but not sure what restrictions have been placed on the sts handset. My VCDS wont work on other manufacturers outside the VAG range, and I would say the same would deffo go for the sts

Ben mapped mine at about 120K - just hit 125K and all is fine

andyvee · 2 March, 2011

I will make sure stickers are sent with the STS units

I could still do with some stickers Ben.

Will have to pop down to Mansfield when I am next over in Chesterfield.

Can you PM me what you could do the STS for by itself on the back of this GB seeing as I already have one of your fine maps

Hi Ben, it was me (Toby) who paid this afternoon just in case you didn't know by S/N.

Cheers
