Very kind, thank you 👍

Yeah, exactly my confusion when trying to establish a clear definition of the belt change. Some top advice from everyone, as always, to just change it anyway. out of interest what was the change/updates at 17my ?

The warranty period here in snail land was only 2 years. As soon as it was out I switched to a local independent, run by 2 brothers, who are sensible rates, advise of any preventative stuff to do so I can decide whether to approve and do a thorough job on routine maintenance. ill do both, tbh while they have it it won’t add a huge amount to the bill from à labour side. They look after my Amarok pick up and when I needed a major service, diffs, transfer box, auto box etc they did a quality job.

Yeah when I looked on AUTODOC to get a flavour of belt prices I noticed all the belts were sold with a water pump. Thanks for the confirmation 👍

Yes toot did the haldex at 50k km 👍👍 Good point that Its G

Yeah I’m in the same mindset just do it and I’m safe until the next change is required

Thank you. Other tsi lumps with belts rather than chains appeared to be 5 years with various mileage equivalents. We’ve covered 72k km and the French dealers close to us have given us a mixed bag of sneers from yes, the car is 6 years old to no you’ve covered chuff all mileage. Hopeless. I’m getting to the point of just doing it regardless.

Good evening clever people I’ve searched high and low on here and through the net for the interval/mileage for replacing the cam belt. They yeti in question is a 2017 1.4tsi 150. Thanks in advance and a very Happy New Year to you all Cheers Dave

Yeah even if you drove it hard all the time you’d never see that. 65km from full our gauge has not even moved.

No worries I’ve never seen a range that low with the gauge where it is in your picture.

We have a 1.4 tsi 150 4x4. From full our predicted range fluctuates between 650 and 700km and we usually get just over 700km actual range to properly empty. 300 km is silly low even if you drove it like you stole it.

Hi we live out on the French/German/Swiss border so regularly see some moody ice n snow. Plus we venture up into the Vosges Mountains over winter. i ordered a set of tuv approved 16" steelies from an outfit in Germany with Goodyear ultragrip 8 winters pre fitted n balanced. Think they deliver to the U.K. driving On uncleared roads thick ice is just remarkable. The yeti hasn't been stopped yet. Tight, steep hairpin turns going up and down with ease. they are awesome on soaking wet roads too. I stick the summers back on mid April. winters every day for me.

Nice cheers for the video :-)

That's the discussion I've already had and attempt no 2 is even worse that the first so I'm going to get them to order a new one and I'll fit it properly.

It's an approved body shop. Painting is perfect but they just cannot get the film on without being full of bubbles and dirt. It can't be that hard !!
