Advice on essential maintenance before looking at mapping

Featured Replies

Hi all, So I’ve just bought a mk2 Octavia VRs tfsi 2011 in VRs blue with black wheels mileage is 87,000. I picked it up for around £3000.

I have always wanted this exact car there’s just something about the mk2 that I love.

Anyways my question is what essential jobs do I need to do before starting to look at a stage 1 map?

I have a friend of a friend who is a Skoda technician and he is going to do the tensioner,chain and water pump for me next week as there’s no proof in the cars partial service history that this has been done.

I’m guessing these are essential but what else should I be looking at please my good people?

change oil no matter what, high quality oil and filter, intake air filter..
