The Skoda vRS range is phenomenally popular with enthusiasts who appreciate serious performance at a sensible price. The Octavia vRS and Fabia vRS share VW Group's best engines, and they respond superbly to ECU remapping. At Bob's Mechanical Repairs near Perth, we've remapped numerous vRS models and the results are always impressive. The 2.0 TSI petrol engine can be safely taken to 280–300 bhp, delivering performance that rivals far more expensive hot hatches. The 2.0 TDI vRS gains similar proportional improvements with even better fuel economy benefits. Skoda vRS owners tend to be knowledgeable enthusiasts who understand that the platform their car is built on is shared with the VW Golf GTI/GTD and Audi S3. The same hardware, tuned to the same professional standard, but at a significantly lower cost.
