I have seen loads of postings on Skoda forums where people with my car (PD130) have fitted the PD160 intake and say things like "wow". But no A-B-A testing and no before / after dyno to back it up. The PD160 replica intake made as part of this article made no difference, in fact it went worse.
There is no agreed international calibration for the butt-o-meter  |
I agree. I have a Skoda Octavia of 2009, with a 1.9 TDI engine and DSG transmission. Air intake that comes standard is bigger than the PD160 some are reccommending. So it has all the air intake it needs. This car is giving me over 48 mpg for a full tank.
Exhaust pipes as 2.5" factory standard.
Mileage is very difficult to improve with this beauty.
As it has a built in computer that gives real time consumption (marginal and mean), I am seeking a mean of remap "something" that can improve mileage, by means of software or such. I already bought a VAG cable, but need help to proceed.
Any suggestions?
