What did you do to your Octavia today?

Full throttle in 5th or 6th on a tuned car is a sure way to cause clutch slip, or so I've read.

Or fourth, because in fourth on the highway the revs are in the torque sweet spot.

I believe you hitting full boost in 4th 5th and 6th as well so yeah makes sense as its only when hitting full boost do I get the turbo flutter on acceleration.
The thing I like tuned is you can be cruising on the motorway, want to overtake in 6th you simply put your foot down and off you go, no need to downshift. Now with the way its setup IS38 (22psi) is pushed hard and I think the file is too aggressive for everyday driving. The way it behaves and shifting required is that it appears to be setup for drag/ track racing which wouldnt be a problem if it was switchable like APR, aggressive map for track days and tamer version for daily duties.

Anyway new map is available, just need to make some time to get it flashed so will see how that goes.

i get no vibrations with the solid insert at all.

We are talking about the same insert here aren't we?

Like this one:

SuperPro Torque Arm Lower Bushing Insert- Street - SPF3365-80K

If yours is solid metal I would have expected serious NVH?

Edit:

Ahhhh I see this one for the Golf Mk7 now.

I assume the Occy Mk 3 is similar. Not actually an insert....rather just stops the slop/movement of the factory bushing, hence I now understand why it doesn't transmit NVH.

Spot on Mate its not a replacement just an insert and yes the mk7 GTI/ MQB one works on ours. In fact I'd say most MQB or mk7 GTI kit works on our cars.
This is the one I have installed
CTS Turbo MK7 Billet Torque Arm Insert Type 1 (2015)

LED interior lights, so much brighter. Just need to do the little door lights.

sweet!, looks good

Did more investigating and logging with E-tuners so it turns out that its not turbo flutter or compressor surge that I'm experiencing on WOT its actually Wastegate flutter! the clicking like a sewing machine I'm hearing is the wastegate working hard It's normal apparently when you tune your car also the fact that I've got an aftermarket intake and muffler delete and have removed most of the restrictive parts there's less muffling of the sound happening, hence the reason its so distinctive now.

Today I...
picked up car with PPF installed. Glad I did it.
Installed a cheap TPMS
and Did a couple of VCDS mods with a fellow VWWC member.
All in all a great day. All info below in the link.

Questions...
VCDS: We couldn't get Traffic info working, as the value '1024' wound not work.
Any ideas people? Out of range I think it said

Also, Just been driving at night, and the 2 small lights in the roof were on, is that normal or did we miss up something in the VCDS?

They are meant to be on. Those lights shine down on the gear shifter area.

Super skoda sell clear door lights which I recommend highly. Look much better in clear then red and let's more light out.
The mirror lights are worth doing as well.

[HPRS230]

That looks good mate.
Cheers for the inside lights, I thought that was the case, but thats the first time Ive driven it at night, so wasnt to sure if standard or a vcds mess up.

Cheers

Did you try rebooting the Nav unit by holding its on/off button for 10 seconds?
Perhaps it will start working after the system goes to sleep (about 30 minutes with the whole car turned off)
Or you're not in an area that SUNA broadcast in?

Got me the first time too.

It can also take a couple of goes picking up the signal before it kicks in but if it's not ticking in VCDS then there's a coding issue or the like.
Your the first on here with a 169 so maybe there's some changes to the latetest software? You wouldn't think it would be much different but who knows with skoda.
