Vehicle-specific tuning figures vary by ECU, software version, gearbox and hardware. RemapIQ verifies the exact vehicle before programming.
The Octavia vRS diesel is a practical fast estate or hatch option that suits Stage 1 well. It is usually driven for family use or higher mileage, so we keep the tune focused on smooth response and useful torque rather than peak aggression.

What changes with Stage 1?
The map improves mid-range torque, throttle response and in-gear acceleration. That works well on the Octavia because the car is designed for practical, easy use.
Expected power and torque
Typical Stage 1 output is 215–230 bhp with 420–450 Nm, depending on the ECU, software and condition of the car.
What we check first
We check DPF operation, EGR function, clutch or DSG health and any stored faults before writing.
Known vehicle-specific considerations
- Practical family cars often live hard lives, so servicing history matters.
- The DSG and clutch both need to be healthy before torque is raised.
- A conservative calibration is usually the best fit for this model.
