Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

What did you do to your Octavia today?

    Went with GIAC feels quite solid. The CTS intake is awesome, sooo much extra noise. Spool up sounds great and you can really hear the diverter valve dumping the extra boost.

    • Intake - does it make noise? Is it loud? You have the RS yes?

        Yep RS. I'll try get a video so you can gauge the noise, but its not too bad. You can definitely hear the extra induction noise and the diverter valve doing its business.

          • Nah, still researching exhaust options. But at least i'm actually making engine noise and its not the soundaktor

                Yep. Tried to organise a dyno but my mechanic didn't have time. I know of a GTI running the same tune with a DP and it did 203kw.

                    thanks for checking mate, I got word from ledperf here's a picture of what they recommended doing with the resistors - all seems fixed now

                    Ok another note what's with all the noises when the car unlocks/locks

                    • Even with a resistor it would run the battery down.

                        Might pull them out in that case

                          I believe it's just the fuel pump priming the line before you start the car and if you have xenons it might be the ballasts too.

                          • Yeah when I get in, fuel pump prime is noticeable.

                            • the mk2 does the same thing.
                              only happens when the drivers door is opened.

                                If there is a residual current flowing through the map lights then it surely it won't make any difference whether the bulb is LED or incandescent.
                                The voltage is probably too low to light the filament on the incandescent, but can just support an non-resistor LED.
                                The interior lights or not simple on/off but attached to a fade up/down system, so maybe yours (or anyone's?) does not entirely switch off when it fades down?
                                It might also be a 'feature'. Failed exterior bulbs can be detected even when switched off so there must be some residual current allowed through to detect any failure.
                                Basically I am saying that any drain will probably be minimal and you may as well put the LEDs in having bought them, or at least check with the dealer if there is a problem.
