Cage mod on vRS

This is a discussion on Cage mod on vRS within the Octavia I forums, part of the Skoda Model Discussion Area category; I've used the search function, but it seems hazy. What is the cage mod exactly and how is it done?...

Re: Cage mod on vRS

It's simply putting some dielectric silicone grease on the electrical contacts in the MAF plug. Did it on the Mondeo but not really convinced it's made any real difference so maybe it only works on the Fabia

Re: Cage mod on vRS

Spray some contact cleaner on it first....

Then put some grease on it.

I took vrs180s advice and did;

Injectors
Coil packs
Maf
N75
Throttle sensor
Temp

I'm sure it's the guy's name who originated the idea in USA.

Re: Cage mod on vRS

I did all that Ethos did and a few more sensors.Made no difference to my hesitation,although it maybe a little smoother from cold.Unless its all in my head.
