What did you do to your Octavia today?

[Spinifex]

Evening Spinifex,
Can I ask if you could activate my reverse mirror tilt function, please? We were use to this with our golf but is not active on our Skoda.
Happy to offer a ride but 110kW diesel will be a come-down to your RS.

Also keen to hear how I can up-date the ROW maps. Information on this is patchy.

regards

Rob

I can try giving it a go, but it came standard on my RS, so I didn't need to code that one.
Happy to have a go.... and I haven't played around with updating maps either - still to check if I have the latest.

Are you going to the happy laps at Willowbank on 10th December?
Otherwise can meet on a weekend?

So RS is finally at the mechanic/tuner today.
Plan is to dyno on current stage 2 Map, then Switch to their Stage 2 Map for comparison.
Then fit the IS38, intercooler and piping, Remap to the Stage 3 tune and dyno again.
I just hope my stock clutch survives till I can afford the LSD and to upgrade the clutch

In the meantime I've got their TDI Fabia RS which is actually a hoot to drive.

Yes, the Mk1 Fabia. Cult following in the UK.



I either want to import one of these, or a Citigo.

Yep thats the one
It's been tuned and has an aftermarket rear Sway bar, Downpipe and intake, it handles brilliantly and has plenty of pep. I'm actually keen on it if they ever sell would make an awesome daily/track car. then I can retire the mk3 golf lol

I must say I'm really interested to know how this all goes, even though I can't see myself doing much if anything like this myself

Do you know for sure that that swaybar fits the Mk3 Octavia Wagon? I'm not saying it doesn't, it's just that I looked for models specifically for the Mk3 and couldn't find one. Also, would love to hear what the dogbone insert feels like. Any particular reason that you didn't go for the very popular one from 034?

If its anything like the Mk5/6 Golf and Mk2 Octavia (PQ35) then anything for the FWD MQB platform should fit, fine.
