Quick hello from Devon 👋

Hi All,

Just picked up my 2014 Fabia Monte Carlo Estate (1.6 TDI, 105 Bhp) and thought joining Briskoda would be a smart idea 😁.

Long story short, I put down a deposit on a 2011 Fabia VRS Estate as I wanted a hot hatch but needed a bit of boot space for my hobbies (Surfing and MTB) and my work stuff. The VRS was bloody quick and good fun but the dealer mucked me around for nearly 4 weeks with a gearbox service issue so I asked for my deposit back. Found the TDI last week and picked it up yesterday, drove lovely but I knew a remap would give me more midrange and kick in the turbo a little earlier so I had it mapped this morning. Difference is unreal, quicker pick up, more mid range grunt and generally just nicer to drive all round, will see how it effects the MPG as time goes on. 

Looking to upgrade the head unit in the near future and possibly retrofit Cruise Control so will check/post on the correct forums when the time comes. Owned a MK2 Octavia VRS Estate a few years back which was an incredible car and I look forward to driving this little car around for a good while now. Thanks in advance for any advice, I'll sign off for now,

Joe
