Eddie-NL's Octavia Vrs Estate

[Eddie-NL]

Are you going to map this Eddie? Is the ECU locked?

i don't know, but i did look on the bluefin website and it said that you need to visit one of their retailers.

Yeah it a bugger with these.... I took my mate (andy who bought the 7P6)  up to alex to get REVO but it wouldnt do it, so its an ECU out job and REVO probe tool, which Alex has just got.

Love the colour of your car Ed-would thing the ecu islocked out

Will be the same as mine won't it Ed, where they remove the tricore ECU from the car and unlock & remap it as part of the new process they've adopted for the MY10+ locked ECU's?

That's what Revo and others have told me needs doing at least.

[rich83]

^^^ sounds right pete.... the REVO probe removes the ecu lock.

Nice car Eddie.

I'm also running a FL vRS wagon and I have a new one on order too.

I've got a MFSW in the garage ready to fit on the new car (like yours, mine's a manual so retro-fit is the only option for the mf wheel) from skodatiele, plus a columbus and a shark roof aerial.  Great minds etc..!

Do you have a partnumber for the carbon-look dash surround for the columbus?  I'm going to need one of those for mine.  Where did you get yours?  How much?

BTW the skoda mirror caps are not the same as the audi - similar but the repeater is a different shape.

cheers

Trim part number is 1Z0 858 069 FB UV9
cost about £50
I got it from the dealer, I could get the silver one from my supplier but he didn't have the carbon-look one

Have you got the steering controller for the wheel? There are 2 types and you won't know which one till you get the car

That is a shame, I was looking at adding S3 aluminium covers, maybe the repeater can be fitted too. (just need to find a cheap audi mirror to have a look at)

I'm also adding Electric folding mirrors, have the passenger side one already.

Nice looking estate you have, would have liked xenons

[rob_e]

Thanks for that part number :)

Yes I got the controller too - Ales @ Skodatiele tells me the one he's sold me is the right one - if it's not he's going to have to swap it over 

[Eddie-NL]

some have a controller ending 549 and others have 569. My one was a 549

If you need parts check with me, I can get them. although a bit late now

I don't think these ecu are protected on the 2.0tsi, but i believe they are on the diesel version, i certainly have no issues using my Shark Sts

shame - that's abour 4 hr drive for me which is a bit too far.   

Ditto Daz's comments about the ecu - not aware of any tsi with protection.

[skard]

Very nice Ed, trying to get my mate to look at one exactly like yours rather than a 5-6 year old A4 estate.
