  • 17831 – Series 1, accelerated catalyst heating system (P1423 – 35-00 – Low throughput)
  • 16514 – O2 (Lambda) Series 1 probe 1 (P0130 – 35-10 – Fault in the electrical circuit – Not permanent)

Both these and other bugs are known problems of these motors. Therefore, it was decided that the second, with further manifestation, we will solve the traditional method. And from the malfunction of the Secondary Air System (SVB), we will get rid of once and for all, firmware with a decrease in the toxicity standards to EURO2 and the physical removal of unnecessary elements of the system after reflashing.

So, the firmware from ADS ADACT was chosen:

  • Optimized elastic version of EURO2. Allows complete removal of SC (catalyst), DK2 (second oxygen sensor), EGR (exhaust gas recirculation system) and UHV (secondary air system).

The results of chip tuning Skoda Octavia 1.6L

  • The electronic engine control unit is loaded with an optimized, flexible version of the firmware, with the EURO2 toxicity standards.
  • The loaded version of the firmware allows for the complete removal of the catalytic converter, the second oxygen sensor, the elements of the EGR system and the BB system. And also excludes the occurrence of errors related to these systems, in particular, errors 17831.
