Hi, i've got a 2009 skoda octavia estate, Laurin & Clement. Which has a 1.8tsi Petrol Audi TT engine in it. When talking about getting it chipped with a guy that was parked down the road from me he mentioned that Unless it is the Audi TT Bam Engine, they have a habit of going Bang or blowing up when getting them chipped. Would only get it chipped for fuel economy reasons as i've transitioned from a diesel Octavia Estate to a petrol. My old diesel used to do Just over 640 miles on a full tank, roughly £70 worth but the newer car I've just brought only does around 360 miles for the same full tank of around £70.. Would it say on the v5 or log book which engine it has fitted. Oh, just remembered it had a New engine fitted around 30,000 miles ago. How do i tell which version it has? Kind regards Tao ...

It'll have an engine code on it. Three letters. 1.8t from a vRS is AUQ. The guy is talking nonsense. Any 1.8t can be tuned. Just use a reputable tuner, one with a rolling road preferably

The BAM engine was never put into a Skoda. Totally different engine to your TSI. As above the guys talking 💩

I didn't know this, It may not have been put in as factory standard. But this Car has had a completely new engine put in roughly 30,000 miles ago. So is their a way to check via the engine number or a code on the head/block?
