  1. Hi Tushaar, if you need assistance with a good FNG mechanic for Skoda Cars, let me know. I can recommend one in Noida.
  2. Beware the ECU module is located just below the windoscreen / plastic scuttle and if water is leaking, it might damage the ECU.
  3. My technician already had a looked at the ABS module and didn't find one. I guess its different from Octavia.
  4. Anyone knows the location of the Yaw Rate Sensor (G202) in Yeti 2012 Elegance 4x4? I had been getting this Stabilization Control error and VCDS scan is pointing to fault in Yaw Rate Sensor. ******************** Address 03: ABS Brakes (J104) Labels: 1K0-907-379-60EC1F.clb Part No SW: 1K0 907 379 BJ HW: 1K0 907 379 BJ Component: ESP MK60EC1 H31 0121 Revision: 00H31001 Coding: 933F400E092201FBC91102EB901B808A350C00 Shop #: WSC 73430 790 00999 VCID: 7BF51167FA10BBC6C11-802E 1 Fault Found: 01542 - Yaw Rate Sensor (G202) 012 - Electrical Fault in Circuit Freeze Frame: Fault Status: 01101100 Fault Priority: 2 Fault Frequency: 1 Reset counter: 164 Mileage: 68868 km Time Indication: 0 Date: 2016.14.14 Time: 11:10:10 ******************
  5. The stock bolero headunit (RCD510) in my Yeti Elegance TDi 4x4 (2012) in 2018 has become too dated, sluggish, with unresponsive touchscreen, and more importantly the lack of media connectivity options (e.g., USB, Bluetooth, Maps, Carplay, Android Auto, camera) in this age is pure sacrilege. I wanted a simple OEM upgrade that gives me ability to make and receive calls, allows me navigation via google maps and play music - all from my phone, while still retaining functionality of my steering wheels and Optical parking etc. I found the solution in RCD330g/340g Plus, OEM units for VW cars for Asian Countries (China/India). What do I get with RCD330g plus over the stock RCD510 Bolero? 6.5" HD grade touch screen with 800 x 400 resolution, compared to low resolution of just 480 x 234 in RCD510. Better responsive and brighter touch screen. Inbuilt bluetooth capability to make calls or stream audio off from your phone. On RCD510, you will need to purchase dedicated bluetooth module, which itself cost more than the RCD330g headunit. Supports addition of an aftermarket reverse camera. Smartphone integration with the headunit via Carplay, Adroid Auto and MirrorLink connection. Navigation via Google Maps or Waze (via Carplay or Android Auto) Individual sound/volume settings for media playback for Bluetooth, USB, Aux, SD However, there are few quirks. The RCD330g plus retains almost all existing operations/features of RCD510 except for Climatronic information. And if you have dedicated bluetooth module attached to your RCD510, the address book is no longer available in MFD (MaxiDot) with RCD330g. These are the few drawbacks you will have to sacrifice when upgrading to RCD330g. For me, these are redundant features which I hardly use anyway. RCD330g at night time I bought the headunit and all the required components from AliExpress: Headunit - RCD330g GREEN, NoName (6RD 035 187B) Cost around $200 and has stock green backlit matching the climatronics panelon the dash. I also wanted the possibility to upgrade the firmware to support any changes to CarPlay, Android Auto in future and hence opted for the NoName variant, which runs linux OS instead of Win CE based Desay Units. Do note that, Desay based RCD330g units only support Carplay and not Android Auto. If you want Android Auto, you want to opt for the NoName units. Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/RCD5...AbTest=ae803_5 The headunit comes with 2 free gifts which are: * Fakra Antenna Adapter (one with white ends) * AV Camera Adapter (one with blue and yellow ends). NOTE: If you want to add a camera to your unit, you will need to remove the old blue jack from the quadlock and insert this AV adapter blue jack instead. And this will connect (yellow end) with the camera. Fascia Trim The original bolero (RCD 510) have a wider trim fascia that don't fit with RCD330g. Hence you need this trim too. Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Faci...65843c00vJadD7 NOTE: My Yeti comes with Auto AC. The above trim is for Yeti with Auto AC. If you have manual AC, the trim is slightly different. Rear Camera I bought an aftermarket good quality rear camera with Sony CCD for around 22 USD. Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/for-...43244c4dVZc5u6 Delay Timer This is required to induce a 10 sec delay into the RVC (for non-OEM cameras). Cost around 3 USD. Link: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Car-...43244c4dVZc5u6 Installation Installation is hardly a 5 mins job. The quadlock socket of the stock RCD510 is the same that is used in RCD330g plus. So, it is just a plug and play job. All you need to do is remove the original trim with a plastic removal trim kit (or with a expired/old credit cards) to avoid leaving scratches. Once the trim is removed, you will need to again remove the inner rectangular trim that surrounds the headunit, to expose 4 T-20 screws. After a simple swap of RCD330g, first time start: Media: You can change the source to SD card, USB, BT Audio or Aux. Phone: Supports Voice operation too. Incoming call is shown in MFD (Maxi-Dot) too, but I can't seem to make the steering button (right side) work to accept the call. Possibly some options in VCDS that I need to look at. For now, had to accept the call from the HU. App: The HU supports Android Auto, Apple Carplay and MirrorLink. I had tried Android Auto (Samsung Galaxy s7 edge) and Carplay (iPhone SE) and works seamlessly. Carplay: The very intuitive landing page And yes, Apple Carplay finally supports Google maps and that makes expensive inbuilt/dedicated GPS redundant and useless. You can pinch the screen in the HU to zoom in and out. However, voice commands via Siri don't get directed to Google maps, but to Apple maps which is unsupported in India. So, what you get is a message 'Not available'. CarPlay > Music CarPlay > Messages Siri can read the new/unread messages for you. With Android phone, you have the option of connecting either via Android Auto or Mirror Link: Android Auto > Landing page Android Auto > Maps Choice of either Google maps or Waze. Setup: Connecting Rear View Camera to HU This is perhaps the only complex part of the installation and took a greater part of time. RCD330g supports connection with any aftermarket AV camera which is excellent as OEM (RGB) cameras are very expensive. Just remember to get a decent one. I got a sony CCD one for around Rs 2K. The camera came with 5 or 6 metres cable. Connection diagram (courtesy from Aliexpress seller): Just wiring the camera cable from dashboard to rear took a good 2 hours, ripping off plastic trims on dash, sides, trunk and rear. And then as per the diagram above, we connected E and F to reversing lamp using Crimp Locks to avoid slicing/cutting of wires. Power to the camera is delivered from ACC (cabin fuse box). The head unit already comes enabled with VCDS coding, so if you don't have VCDS cable, no worries Picture quality is simply fantastic, so is the wide angle. You can even adjust the picture/video brightness, contrast and Hue. Lastly, by default the camera don't show the guiding lines. To show the lines, you need to cut the small wire in the camera unit. Optical Parking System (Park Assist) I won't have gone for RCD330g unit if it didn't support the park assist (OPS) of my car. Many had reported their OPS don't work on RCD330g and that was possibly due to older or lower variant CAN Gateway. Mine was higher one (7N0 907 530 H) and hence no need to upgrade my CAN gateway. Only then I ordered the head unit. I got VW Jetta as the OPS image. With VCDS, I tried changing to Skoda Yeti, but all I can get was the Polo (hatch). And for now, it is good enough for me. To switch to camera, click the small button on the top left corner.
  6. I have 215/65 R16 (Michelin Latitude Tour HP) on my Skoda Yeti 2012 Elegance 4x4 (TDi) for the last 3 years and have no issues at all and the clearance in the wheel arcs is abundant even after 2 cms increased in diameter. It is very hard to get a good tyre at the OEM size (215/60 R16) in my country (India) and hence, I and other Yeti owners have switched to 215/65 R16 (which is available widely as it is OEM tyre size for many other crossovers in our region e.g., Duster).

  9. The AC cooling is a typical issue on on Yeti's sold in India. From what I know, Skoda is replacing the AC compressors in all Yeti's sold in India within warranty. Take your VIN to your Skoda dealer and verify if they had received any instruction/directive for replacement from Skoda. You should get it replaced not withstanding the current condition of your AC unit.
  10. I have an aqua blue 2012 Yeti Elegance with Nevis alloys and wanted to paint the alloys to something dark (black or gray or dark titanium). Anyone who painted the alloys, please post some shots of your ride.
