Had a look through the forum and not found a good comprehensive post on Octy II upgrades. So.....

Other then the obvious (a remap) what are the peoples top 5 upgrades for the Octy and why! Cheers all!

1) The free hvac ON/OFF upgrade that takes 5 minutes.
2) The free keyfob badge protection upgrade that takes 3 minutes.
3) Tint the windows.
4) More carpet in the boot.
5) Rain-X on the windows.

what is "hvac"?? I agree with the others, apart from the keyfob badge protection...

For me it has to be:

Remap
Short shifter
Koni FSD's/Eibachs
Eibach Anti Roll bars
Audi S3 345mm brake upgrade.

Any chance someone could expand on this a bit. I searched the forum but couldn't find it.

Had a search and cant find the badge protection thing either? Whats that?

brad1.8T

Sorry, I posted it at my main forum.

Key Fob protection so it doesn't look like crap in 18 months

HVAC ON/Off

brad1.8T

Depends how anal you are & whether you want the Skoda Emblem to be almost invisible after 18 months.

Hi,
which short shifter? Forge, if yes both kits or one only?

Thank you,

Having seen this, i'm wondering if the bottom one will function as the "dual"-button as in vw's if the same is done?

dan_the_v8man
