Skoda Octavia RS245 - Modifying the stock intake box for better airflow

- A proper intake will be installed eventually on this car, but till then, we can do some quick mods to the stock intake system to help the car breathe better. There is a 'snow grate' placed under the stock air filter that is designed to prevent snow from getting into the intake system. Now in India this little feature is of no use, however because of its design the grate does restrict airflow and removing it should improve the cars ability to breathe freely.
This mod won't increase hp/torque, but should improve efficiency, maybe reduce turbo lag, and give u a bit more of the turbo sounds, especially with the car in Sport Setting. I found that in normal driving mode the turbo sound was audible a bit, but with the car in sport mode (especially the Gearbox) the sound increase was very noticeable.
Its a free mod that can be done by anyone using the tools that comes with the car, and I don't see it impacting warranty in any way.
While this is on a Skoda Octavia RS245, this mod can be done on any VW/Skoda/Audi car that is based on the MQB platform. Even the MQB diesel cars should have a similar intake design.
Enjoy! - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
A perfect car in perfect hands!
Glad I stumbled upon this. I’m grabbing my screwdriver now.
Just a month with this beauty and it's started to jack up💪
little efficiency mods that don't cost any $...
Thanks for this! I successfully removed it from my 2012 Laura TSI
Glad it helped!
Awsome hack.
This plate is for reducing the sound to pass the db test (regulations), you could install and aftermarket gauze filter as K&N for better performance.
Your video is well shot considering you do it all single handedly, but if you could improve the audio clarity, just a suggestion. Otherwise your videos are great Prithwi 🤗
Rishiraj Das yea have to get a better editing software that can filter Audio better.
i have done this stock oem airbox mode 2 n half years back with CTS inlet pipe n Revotechnik hose also added aFe dry drop-in filter, felt instant throttle response then i had dremel the front air scoop to make it direct air flow to the airbox which really help in reducing IAT.
Yea the inlet drilling is next on the cards.. this is a simple mod to free up some airflow, although some vendors might argue till the sun sets that this isn’t effective.. lol
@@PrithwiRay I think I got a reason as to why my car with an aftermarket conical air filter feels much powerful at nights comparing with the daytime.
@@amjathkhan2004 which intake you got with conical air filter?
@@PrithwiRay i have seen many guys has done this oem airbox mods in mk7 golf gti or R, some has dynoed n shown 5-10whp with the help of inlet pipe and hose. Also block off plate from euro spec i have is not showing any improvement in IAT.
@@salik990 Couldn't find any performance air intakes for mine. It's currently running with K&N conical air filter directly fitted to the factory inlet pipes with the help of a 2.75" to 3" coupler and 3" PVC pipe.
Can I do this in toyota yaris petrol?
😎👍
Does 1.2 TDI has snow grate? If it has, Is it ok to remove it? Will it improve acceleration? Because there is so much turbo lag and i am not liking it. What can i do to improve acceleration?
no it doesnt. 1.2 engines are designed with a conical filter in the housing. The lag you can't improve much as its a function of turbo size and engine size.
it is not ok beacuse air will go only to left side of filter not trow hole filter.
Bhai please continue vlog banao
In my experience. Removing the snow guard didn't help much if you are still on stock filter. The filtration of the stock filter is so good that removing snow guard didn't have any impact to the air flow as a whole.
In fact if you try to fan yourself with the snow guard you can't feel the wind cos the air cuts through the snow guard pretty good.
Just wanna set the expectation right for all viewers, this is not a magic mod. No harm, no cost but also not much difference.
Save your 10 mins from doing this mod, unless you pair this task with an aftermarket drop-in filter...
hi sir, can you feel difference when driving? getting my vrs 245 next week 🔥
Yes, definitely
Has it been converted to euro spec from Indian spec air channel?
not yet. That is the next bit. shipping to India is slow thanks to covid. Need the small part - Block off Trim #| 5Q0 129 849 for that mod.
Can you feel any improvement in acceleration after what you just did?
yes. Takes about 50-60kms for the car to adapt, and then its a very noticeable gain in how the responds.
@@PrithwiRay appreciate your reply 👍
Dada why you are not installing performance PART'S
these do improve performance bro :-)
Is there a snow grate in Skoda laura ?
It’s there in all skoda vw cars
It's for debris, like leaves, small twigs and anything else that can get sucked in. Not a good idea to remove it
Do we get this snow guard in 1.8 TSI as well?
Bassdroppers yes.. all MQB cars should have it..
@@PrithwiRay Imma grab the screwdriver and pop the hood of my VW Polo now!
Do we need to do any adjustments after removing the mesh in 1.8tsi or can we leave it as it is?
no adjustments needed. Car will auto adapt to the nice free flow of air.
Hi Prithwi...just another query with regards to octavia 1.8tsi 5E facelift 2017 car... is there anyway warranty get affected if I do petes remap and make it stock map before warranty claims...or should I wait for the warranty period to finish ( which will be 2023🤓)...also what your opinion on 18inchers on this car with regard to normal driving as a family car....need to spruce up the looks a bit😊
Shibu Joseph yes warranty void on any remaps.
Hey bro, where did can i remap and modify my car??
rahul ss what car? And where are you located?
@@PrithwiRay skoda octavia petrol. Pune
Is that bmw stock in the begining of the video ?
rock88425 yea it’s almost stock.. m3 rims n catback exhaust by Milltek. F30-320i LCI
@@PrithwiRay could you do an ownership review of that car ?
What do you think of K&N Kit? Is it worth it?
Not in our climate
What a Beauty! What do you think of upcoming 2021 octavia Rs design?
The chassis is the same as the current octavia... Interiors are really nice compared to this gen RS. The overall looks of the car has also improved, but I'm feeling the new grille. the Lights and Bumper design looks lovely, but that grill is a bit of an eyesore.
@@PrithwiRay Hate the new grill ! Current is way better !
@@PrithwiRay Are they bringing the next generation RS to India ?
Arjun Rudra I think so.. 2022 is what I heard
@@PrithwiRay How come you missed the underpowered 1.5 TSI!
Will it damage the engine? Im getting this for my first car so i dont anything about engines
Edit: what is air intake for?
no it wont damage the engine.
@@PrithwiRay Really Sir
1 why the fuck are you getting a vRS for your first car?
2 if you don't know what an air intake is for there is a lovely Dacia Sandero for you, definitely don't deserve a vRS 😂
@@willpark7483 why so bad response? Some one ask a question and instead of answering you start to say bad things, " what a good person" you are.
Now about the question:
The air intake is where the engine get feeds by air in to the combustion chamber, thins is internal combustion engine and needs to burn fuel, and air is required for combustion. By removing the snow plate it looks as if it will make the air flow better (not sure it will but..) this is the purpose of the video owner
Does it work for Diesel cars ?
Yes.
Does this affect the warranty?
No it should not.
Is this in the RS 230 also ?
Arjun Rudra yes
Arjun Rudra yes
@@PrithwiRay Thanks Buddy ! Keep up these stellar videos.
Is it there for the diesel car too ?
Are you planning on a BMC air filter install later?
angrybird 29 no. Getting a proper full intake later.
Steering wheel is on wrong side ;)
I am loving your modification videos. Great work! One thing occurs to me, though. If you drive through a flooded road, the snow grate will help block a wash of water entering the engine, and help prevent ingestion of water. It won't stop it, but surely it will help somewhat? (See this video for an example of what I mean. th-cam.com/video/FQkDRJDcDnA/w-d-xo.html)
Well yes it will for sure, but if your taking a turbocharged car thru roads that are flooded enough to reach your intake, your intercooler and gearbox will get filled up with water way before it reaches ur intake.
Also the stock intake has a pretty large drain for any water to get out.
@@PrithwiRay That is a very good point. I am not sure exactly where the start of the air intake is. I thought it was on top of the radiator.
@@MrSonicAdvance it’s in the bottom of the airboc
@@PrithwiRay Thank you.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
What
