Skoda Modifications

**dazag** · 04-08-2009, 04:38 PM

Hi gang, just wanted to see what Mods people have done to their Skoda's to personalise it etc??

The usual things I guess like Chips/ECU flashing, Exhaust, induction, different wheels, maybe stereo upgrades or incar entertainment ( DVD, in car PC, or play station etc ), maybe other things like plumbing under the bonnet, or some bling bits for the car that you see in ebay etc.

Just wanted to see if anyone has "played' with their Skoda's ??

My vRS TFSI is stock as a rock. My mods wish list is:

Eibach springs
Eibach anti-roll bars
Darkest legal tint
APR ECU
Stage 1 Brembo brakes

Some I will do, others are, such as the Brembos, are out of my league.

That would be to aid airflow through the intercooler on the diesel models? Is the intercooler still in the mudguard?

On the 1.8 & 2.0 petrol engines, the intercooler is between the radiator & the Airconditioning thing (evaporator or condensor? - I failed Air Conditioning at tech & have never got it right since

)

Current mods on our 2TDI Elegance family wagon are:
- Oettinger re-flash
- tinted windows (darkest legal)
- tow-bar (fitted by dealer)

Also carries Rhino roof racks and roof pod for trips away.

Hope to put some bigger wheels on at a later date and lower it a little.

I was thinking i hadn't done any mods. How easily things are forgotten.

1. Tint windows 20%. $260
2. Enabled AC on/off switch - free
3. Ebay moulded mudspats - $50
4. Tweeter mod - front doors - $8
5. Removed art deco style Octavia badge. Thinking about fitting the new style.
6. Heavy mofo rubber boot mat (supercheap/Repco $35)
7. Setup everything to my liking via the MFD

edit: also have a DealExtreme imitation VAGCOM cable on order. No idea how good it will be but for ~$40

To do (definate):
1. Tweeter mod - rear doors - $3
2. Bluefin - $750

Considering:
17" rims or maybe even 16x8 Audi rims with 225/50x16. Possibly in Satin Black or Anthracite.
