Is the Skoda Laura (Octavia) 2.0 TDI CR/81 kW Unique to India?

Featured Replies

In India the Manual Transmission version of Octavia come with a 2 Liter TDI CR engine with Max power out of 81kW (110 bhp) @ 4200 rpm and max torque of 250 NM delivered between 1500 - 2500 rpm. Is this unique to India? I have not seen these outputs being mentioned elsewhere on the Skoda websites.

The DSG version however comes with a 103kW (140 bhp) @ 4000 RPM and max torque of 320 NM. SO my question is do these Manual and DSG variants have different engines/turbo/fuel injectors? or are they identical with only the ECU being mapped differently?

Cheers,

Didnt knw that was the case !!! i think they are just mapped differently !

So does this mean that the elegance -dsg automatic has the same 2.0 and the same gearbox as the L&K ...but diff power output !!!

Anyone out there who knows the difference between the Manual and Auto (DSG) engines? is it only the mapping?

You can only get the 2.0TDi 110BHP engine in the Yeti in the UK. The Octavia 2.0TDi produces 140bhp in the SE/Elegance/L&K/4x4/Scout trims and 170BHP in the vRS model.

In Macedonia offers Skoda Octavia 2.0 TDI CR 110 without DPF fiter. It is an engine designed for Eastern European market, where many are not burdened with Euro 5 norms. This Skoda is cheaper by 1.6 TDI CR 105, for 2000 euros. Тhis engine is incorporated in the initial series of Golf 6, before being replaced by 1.6 TDI CR.

Good to learn, its not unique to India.

But what is still unanswered is, does this car differ in the turbo, engine, air intake, fuel injection as compared to the 140 bhp version or is it only a different state of ECU tune.

Could be just the ECU remap, i.e keep costs down so both have same components, just different ECU map. There is not a lot of difference in power to warrant better or cheaper components in either engine.

Hi,

there are a number of engines in the 2.0TDI range which I believe are mechanically identical but use software to provide different power and torque outputs.

For example In European markets for the Yeti and Octavia;

CFHA = 110PS, 250Nm torque (Yeti only)

CFHC = 140PS, 320Nm torque

CFHF = 110PS, 280Nm torque (Yeti 4x4 only, Octavia 2wd & 4x4)

In India I understand they use, although there's little to distinguish them from those above mechanically.

CLCA = 110PS, 250Nm torque (Octavia only)

CLCB = 140PS, 320Nm torque

Regards,

TP

Thank you TP and CEPi. Much appreciated.

I am now excited about remapping my car to 140PS+ without worrying about over stressing anything. Waiting for someone to crack the EDC17 protection so that the ECU can be remapped through OBD cable without having to do an open heart surgery.

This is important because I would have to rely on STS or similar and get the remap done remotely from UK.

Cheers

Some advice vickys - Dont push your engine too far, as there will be component differences between the 140 CR & the 170 CR engines, to take into account the additional torque output.

If you push the torque too high you risk clutch slip, or turbo failure sooner than if you left well alone.

Have a remap on your un modified engine, but just be sensible

<br /><br />I think he wants to go from 110 - 140 bhp ..!<br />Shouldn't be a problem I guess ....! <br /><br />As I think skoda would have just de-tuned the same engine .....it would be a lot more cost effective than to be managing a similar engine with different components ......<br />However I can be wrong .!

Appreciate your suggestion. I am also interested in a remap only. The issue at present as i mentioned in my previous quote is the ECU protection which does not allow me to do a remap via OBD cable. I am not ok to do a open heart surgery (bench flash) on the ECU for a remap. Waiting for Ben from Shark Performance to crack the riddle so that i can use the STS :)
