Hi,

I've gone from a Peugeot 607 2.2 Hdi to an Octavia 2.0 Elegance TDi 140Bhp and what a difference. Even though the Octavia is about the same weight, the performance outstrips the Peugeot which was chipped. The ride and handling are excellent and the six speed box is a dream.

I did consider the Vrs but I couldn't afford the new shape and was put off the 1.8 by the rear legroom. Plus i'm heavy footed and couldn't justify the fuel consumption. I also wanted all the extras you get in the Elegance range. It has pretty much everything the Peugeot had but is a true driver's car.

I won't get it remapped until the warranty is up but would appreciate your thoughts on where to go. I am looking at two places, Revo (OBD plug in) and Storm Developments (rolling road). I note there's a lot of stuff about Jabba but do they do diesels? Also, has anyone noticed excessive wear in the gear box/clutch or similar problems?

Would appreciate your thoughts. Great forum BTW.

Jabba do do diesels

Oh Yes Jabba do do diesels ...also check AMD and one or two others may have a mention on here

hi. and welcome.

Welcome to BRISKODA

The Peugeot 607. Odd choice in car.

good choice and welcome!

The 607 is, in hindsight, a very odd choice of car. I had an Espace before that (4 kids etc) which was falling apart and needed a motor quick. The 607 was in the right place at the right price but I wouldn't do it again. Not on your nelly.

Thanks for the welcomes. I am now a fully blown member of BRISKY because the site rocks. And the car of course.
