just been on jabba sport website, ther is no mention of remapping an L & k 1.8T is this most likely an omission. Or are there good reasons. Engine is basically the same as 4x4 or vRS right. Are brakes / susspension not up to the job?

i could be totally mistaken and if i am, someone will correct me....

i *think* that there are differences between the l&k and the 4x4 ( injectors etc? ). if tuned, i think this will get to about 190bhp as opposed to 220.

i defer to those with greater knowledge.........

The engines are not the same, not even between the 4x4 and the vRS (engine code AUQ).

But why not call Jabbasport and ask them what they can do with your car?

Cheers,

If you your car has a drive by wire throttle and VVT there is no reason why it shouldn't produce 220bhp after a Jabba re-map.

The End!

very nice summary, thanks.

might be worth talking to Disco... I believe he is getting a similar motor?

oh well 150 to 200 brake is worth while. that list of engine codes is v helpful maybe it could be put on a faq or someting. i going to copy and paste it to somewhere sensible anyway.

definitely worthwhile!

hang on, the vRs has the AUQ.

the L & K has the AUM.

from reading the above details they are virtually the same engine? the only difference is the gearbox ?

Basically it should be the ECU, Gearbox, don't know about the clutch, maybe something differs inside the engine.

But the basic elements for tuning your engine is these things: big injectors, k03sport turbo, dbw throttle response and vvt.

depends when it was built... it might have agu if build before aug 00, remember built / not sold...

Easy answer is to whip off the engine cover (4 plastic turnbuttons) and look at the engine. The code is stamped by the lifting eye on the end of the block. Then ring Jabba. I would imagine they can remap any 1.8T engine. Mike told me he had done over 300 AGUs when he did mine.

I have summarised previous technical info about the various 1.8T engines into this post for ease of reference. The following versions of that engine can be found fitted to the UK-spec Octavia with manual gearbox:

AGU 110KW/150bhp Octavia FWD 10/96 > 07/00

AUM 110kW/150bhp Octavia FWD 08/00 >

ARX 110kW/150bhp Octavia 4X4 08/00 >

AUQ 132kW/180bhp Octavia vRS 12/00 >

Dealing with the 3 current engines first, the AUM, ARX and AUQ share the same block, cylinder head, internal parts, intake system and throttle valve control unit, turbocharger, charge air cooler, exhaust manifold, injectors, anti-knock (thrust) sensors, spark plugs, lubrication system and fuel system (excluding fuel tank etc). Apart from the fact that the ARX (4X4) has a different return oil line for the turbocharger, and the AUQ (vRS) one different boot (rubber seal/pipe) on the charge air cooler, the 3 engines are identical. The ECUs for all 3 engines do however differ, as do the exhausts. The same clutch is used on all 3 engines (and by the AGU).

The AGU was fitted to the UK-spec Octavia 1.8T FWD between 10/96 and 07/00 and remains in production for other markets. Whilst the engine is substantially the same mechanically as the AUM, ARX and AUQ, the cylinder block and pistons are different, as are the cylinder head with valves and camshaft. Specifically, the cylinder head, camshafts, pistons, con rods and bearing shells are different, but the crankshaft, vibration damper, flywheel and clutch are the same. Other differences include the cable throttle, smaller injectors and turbocharger, and the absence of VVT. These differences mean that it is not as tuneable as the later versions. Moreover, unlike the later engines, the AGU was not designed for variable (extended) service intervals.

I am not sure from the information provided by jonathan1971 whether his sister's L&K has the older AGU engine or the later AUM. The easiest way to determine the engine type is to look at the vehicle data sticker inside the front cover of the Service Schedule, or on the boot floor under the mat. If it is the AGU then it isn't going to be possible to squeeze quite as much power out of it by chipping as the later engines, but an extra 50bhp should be on the cards.

thanks denis!

Dont all the 'post - facelifet' Octavias (of which the L&K is one) have Drive-By-Wire throttles and VVT? Im sure the engine code in the L&K will be the same as a current spec 150bhp Elegance 2WD car. (if its not a deisel , obviously!)

sorry for delay work v busy at mo. Had a look at sis service book. Its a aum this seems to be good news. what sort of power and 0-60 are we looking at on a jabba remap?

The AGU was fitted to the UK-spec Octavia 1.8T FWD between 10/96 and 07/00 and remains in production for other markets

Yes, I have a 2002 L&K and it has a AGU engine:mad:

That's strange Turbo_Boss, it should have the AUM engine.

It sounds like either VAG or Skoda is exporting old engines on Skoda cars outside the EU!?

Cheers,

I also think the same. Maybe they export the old engine to be price competitive.

Today I was checking another 2002 Skoda Elegance 1.8T and it was also AGU engine.

My only concern is that I want to add some mod to he engine to have better perfomance and its look like nobody will have something for this engine.

I was reading about upgrading the N75 Valve to get beter boost.

Do anybody know something about it?

There are - or were - 3 versions of the AGU built. The two built from 10/96 met emission standards D-3 and EU-3D respectively. The third, built from 05/98, is not listed as meeting any particular emission standard. My guess is that the latter is a less high tech engine destined for markets where stringent emission standards are not yet in force, and is the one which is still in production.

Whilst that engine may not be quite as high tech as the AUM and ARX which replaced it in Europe, it does push out the same 150bhp - which is pretty impressive - and more can be got out of it.

Dealing with the 3 current engines first, the AUM, ARX and AUQ share the same block, cylinder head, internal parts, intake system and throttle valve control unit, turbocharger, ...

DGW:

I have confirmed all the other things that the 3 newer engines share but my question is whether, we are certain that the AUM and ARX engines have the same upgraded K03-sport (hybrid) turbo as the vRS does. One way to solve this is to look at the manufacturers book on the part numbers referring to the turbo of the 3 engines; AUM, ARX, AUQ... Do you have any answer on this matter???

Thanks
