I suppose it's early days yet, but I know the 170 TDI Altea has been out for a while now.

| Re: vRS TDI Remap Ive posted this a few times. The car has a diesel particle filter which is why it dosent smoke, take care with remaps as more diesel going in will make the filter work harder & might lead to it clogging. As the the car dosent smoke its harder for the tuner to see visually if too much diesel is going in. If it starts to clog you will get a warning light & need to commence the regeneration as detailed in the manual, if the regeneration fails the car will go into limp mode & if its like other Skodas its a dealer fix Its early days with thesefilters & given time Im certain that tuners will be able to work around them. It might not be a problem with the Octy but other cars with these filters are I believe having problems

 If you ever find a man who can get round the sensor problems our Superb needs sorting when it comes out of Warranty

| Re: vRS TDI Remap I was thinking on the lines of warranty issues, but more power & better economy is a bonus!
