Any one out there purchased any BHP mod kits for the Octavia 110TDi's.

Saw one on Ebay being sold by Car Power LTD, it's a smallish looking black box which is easy to install and safely increases BHP by 35 and 50Nm torque.

It's apparently easy to install and can be de-activated when not needed.

I checked with my dealer about upping the BHP and it's apparently not Skoda policy to offer such service to owners. My car is still under warranty but I am tempted after the warranty runs out but want to get an idea of it this si a BIG NO or OK to do.

Anyone out there who's tried can you give me some idea of if it works or not.

Thanks :eek:

Bakie,

I have fitted an analogue tuning box to my Octy. Like others will no doubt tell you, it is a crude device, but it was only

To jump topic slightly, I wondered about a suspension change to make the ride a bit firmer, but I can't lower the car (as it some times catches on things when I drive down the lane to my horses).

Any recommendations that won't reduce the ride height?

Cheers,

Matt

uprated anti-roll bars

You'll often see people on here refer to them as ARB

Recommended uprated anti-roll bars? and associated cost? Car is a 2001 (Y) TDi 110 estate. I don't drive it overly hard, but certainly feel it handle less well than my older 306 HDi.

Maybe a silly question, but do you tell the insurance comany - would they see it as a mod or not?

Cheers,

Hi Matt

Eibach are the best , but they are on back order until October.

There are other not as crude ways of tuning the car though.

Remap. We can offer Custom-Code www.custom-code.co.uk

This is the web site and should be able to help you.

If the car does get lowered and your bother about bottoming out.Have a look for the extra strong sump guard.

It could help you save a bit of money if you have a look on the GB ( group buys) section.

Try Eibach's web site. The uprated roll bars are about

Price seems right - just spoken to them and got details of a few local (dorset) suppliers.

The car will bottom out when only I am in it (and I am only about 9 stone!)

We took ours to JabbaSport for a custom remap, it went to 164bhp with 393 N/M of Torque & the MPG actually improved for average driving, We even recently drove from the top of Spain to calais 5 up + Luggage, averaged 85 mph for the trip & 39.6 mpg, we were late & the car got thrashed !!. The day to day average is in the low 50's

The car has covered about 70000 miles since mapping & weve had no problems.

Personally I would recomend a re map every time

We are in Winchester if you fancy a spin before deciding
