Škoda Octavia 3 RS TDI

APR Stage 1, DSG gearbox upgrade and a few more extras.

APR Stage 1

We took the 2.0 TDI engine, one we upgrade very often, from its factory 135 kW to 162 kW, and the torque from 380 Nm to 447 Nm. You notice the difference most from 100 km/h upwards. The car gets a second wind, and although it is lazy at motorway speeds from the factory, it suddenly shows it can really go. With APR, revised throttle pedal response and a more logical, linear power delivery come as standard.

DSG upgrade

This RS also has an automatic gearbox, and if you own a car with a modern DSG, you know only too well how pointlessly it can lug the engine at low revs. It may keep the emissions authorities happy, but certainly not you, and above all not your engine.

Our upgrade for DSG gearboxes paired with TDI engines focuses on better driving comfort, getting rid of low-rev lugging and more natural gearbox behaviour in everyday driving. All at a pleasant price. 💰 No more driving through a village at 50 km/h in fifth gear, or in sixth as soon as you leave it.

Combining APR Stage 1 with our DSG upgrade takes it to another level, the two work together brilliantly.

More about the DSG upgrade

Racingline sports intake

A closed Racingline sports intake went into the engine bay. On this engine it is not so much about a huge power gain as about the very distinctive sound of the new intake. The closed system doesn't draw in hot air from the engine, yet its sound will still put a smile on your face.

Adjustable suspension

The worn dampers were replaced, and straight away with a complete ST Suspension coilover kit. Thanks to the adjustable height we could set the suspension up exactly as the customer wanted it lowered.

Styling parts

Rieger front splitter
Call it a lip, a splitter or whatever you like. It is a styling part that can completely change the front of the car. The Rieger version is not as massive as some products from other brands, so you don't have to worry about every kerb in a shopping centre car park or the ferry ramp on your way on holiday.

Maxton Design side skirts
Extensions under the original sills that continue the line of the front splitter. We have plenty of experience fitting them, and here too we went for fitting without drilling or any irreversible work on the car body.
