Remap would be first thing on your shopping list. Custom Code would be my pick but there are half-a-dozen options out there.

Hi all,
Im currently looking into a Skoda Yeti, and I was wondering if there are any tuning options / modifications available for the 103TDI model?

My brother (not the one who works at Skoda - another one) had a 2012 Octavia 103TDI and we sent the ECU down to DNA Tuning in Melbourne to have it remapped. Was about $900 or so for the remap. Came back with approx 130kw and 420nm or so (flywheel figures). Was very fast for a diesel and had a hell of a lot of torque. He did about 70,000km in it with no issues. Still did under 5L/100km on the freeway too.Originally Posted by Tonba
See info here: Stage 1 Tune for 2012 Skoda Octavia TDi (103kw/320nm)
If you can go without the car for a few days, then i would recommend the DNA tune. I also have the DNA tune on my Golf R.

Awesome. How do you find the drivability with it?

Lucas, did your brother's overall fuel efficiency go up?

Nevermind. Read that full post. Sounds REALLY decent!

Drove it a few times and found it to be very smooth. Big chunk of mid range torque when you want it, but very refined when pottering around. The tunes for these cars are so advanced these days - my Golf R makes 211kw at the wheels yet my grandmother could drive it down to the shops without a worry.
He did 90% freeway driving (between Newcastle and Gosford). He did 70,000km or so in the car with the remap and didn't have any reliability/engine/warranty issues in that time. Still got <5L/100km on the freeway. No noticeable change to fuel consumption with everyday driving.

A remap is the first mod any turbo engine should have. Anything else is just faffing about on the edges IMO.
My 1.8tsi was also easier to drive after the remap.

Such a good (and underrated) little engine, the 1.8L in those Octy's.

The 112TSI in the Skoda Yeti is a 1.8L turbo isn't it?
