Laura AWD Episode 4 : Where all 4 wheels spin!
This is episode 4 of an ongoing series on my Škoda Octavia mk2 FL getting converted to an all wheel drive from a front wheel drive vehicle, it started it’s life as a manual front wheel drive and now it’s an automatic DSG DQ250 All wheel drive.
In this episode finally all 4 wheels get power after countless hours of work that has been put into the car to make it get here, not only that but we also lower the car in this episode to give it much better stance and handling.
This AWD swap series is in no way a guide or a tutorial, this is for entertainment and educational purposes only.

I have a 2013 jetta tdi which is in ok condition.. everytime i decide to sell it people like you put hope that these machines can be fixed with some love and care...thank you, i am just holding onto my car just because of guys like you...

These older vw/skoda cars are gems, people are looking over them, the build quality is unmatched even the latest cars are not able to match it
The moment, all 4 wheels spinned i don't know but i couldn't Stop smiling, it's such a great achievement that you work on your cars by yourself and with some help of friends. Congratulations for the Quattro, excited to see what's coming up next for the #project4771. May God bless you and your cars !! 🥹

Nice progeess on Laura Project! All the best! If you remember, I had contacted you for a non working rain and light sensor on my skoda Octavia. There was a "No communication fault". Turns out, the LIN bus cable from sensor to BCM was broken somewhere. I patched the cable using a speaker wire and now Auto lights and wipers are working

Thank you! I rely on local scrapyards for most of the used parts, there are some online on Instagram as well like @oldsparepart and such, even tortoise tuning on Instagram sells some used spares for these cars.
I am confused between buying a used laura and getting it awd converted from some expert garage, or buy a used 4x4 yeti and get it tuned. Do you suggest any garage that can to awd conversation for laura using cheaper old car parts like you did in a reasonable cost?
Amazing work brother 🙌🏻 one more thing need to ask i own virtus sometimes fuel pump makes humming noise which audible in cabin at silent places what could be the solution?
@PrerakKataria
4 ай бұрын
Hey, thank you! And the sound of the fuel pump is normal, maybe there isn’t enough insulation provided in the virtus to suppress that sound, and if it’s audible in pitch quiet conditions, it’s okay, nothing to worry about.
Grt work , detailed practical info. Thanks . Will Skoda superb coilovers be compatible for a retrofit in Skoda Laura.??
@PrerakKataria

Yes superb’s suspension can be installed in laura, as they are a coilover the load rating can be adjusted according to laura by changing damping and rebound stiffness

Prerak does the all wheel drive system give 50-50 split torque to front and rear all the time or it is adaptive system where it changes according to road conditions
@PrerakKataria
4 ай бұрын
It will only give 50-50 in less traction conditions or even you launch the car, other times it’s adaptive and in no slip condition it is 95-5
