Sorry, don't have a option list in pdf form, but I do have a fairly well spec'd Facelift MK2 vRS, so there's that. Options if its a Facelift model or not (FL or Pre-FL), will depend on the year and as I think some might not have been available in earlier years. In terms of components and features the Pre-FL models are very similar to a Mk5 Golf and the FL's a Mk6 Golf. As standard I'm pretty such all Facelift vRSs came with: Xenons with AFS DLR (part of the vRS only body kit) XDS and Hill Hold (after 2012 I think) Off the top of my head you could spec the following options: Safety Curtain Airbags Automatic Headlights Automatic windshield wipers Convenience Parking sensors - Front / Rear / Both Heated Seats - Front / Front and Rear Dual Climate Control PTC Heater Automatic foldable mirrors Performance and Driving DSG automatic gearbox - Came with a multifunction steering wheel as standard with DSG, features radio and Maxidot controls on the steering wheel Entertainment RNS 510, Radio with Navigation, supports a visual display of parking sensors RNS 510, Digital Radio variant Bluetooth Other Full leather interior Full sized spare tyre Towbar and electrics Fake floor and storage for the boot Roof rack I'm not sure about the Multi Function Steering Wheel (MFSW) on non-DSG models or if cruise control was standard.

I reckon it took me about 3 hours in all, of course I was learning as I went, about 2 hours of it was flashing the Columbus head unit as that takes a while. I mostly followed the guides of Paul Roberts who helpfully placed a lot of good information in one place, his blog. Here's how he shows to disassemble the unit, he was replacing the Hard Drive with an SSD at the time: Replacing the HD with an SSD on the RNS 510 Points to note, he mentions you need a T10 and T8 Torx screwdriver and a replacement hard drive. You could get a T10 Torx bit for a screwdriver that accepts different heads, but you will definitely need a standalone T8 Torx screwdriver (Specifically on Step 6 of his disassembly), a screwdriver with removable heads will be too wide to fit in the hole provided for 2 of the T8 Torx Screws. Once I had installed the replacement Hard Drive, the Columbus booted straight up, it recognised the hard drive but could not use it, I had to flash the firmware in order for the harddrive to be formatted and partitioned correctly. I then flashed the navigation (maps) data, however, I had to flash the firmware again to get the unit to work. He also has another blog entry on how to flash the lastest firmware and maps: Upgrading firmware and maps on the RNS 510 In Summary The bits you'll need: T8 Torx Screwdriver T10 Torx Screwdriver or Screw driver bit Replacement Hard drive, 2.5" IDE (Very important) 40GB or more x2 DVDs or CDs you can burn the Columbus Firmware to, I went for DVD rewritables as if I need to change anything I could use the disk again SD Card over 6GB or more if you want to flash the updated maps The Order of install: Remove Columbus out of the car Disassemble Replace hard drive Reassemble Install Columbus back into the car Flash the firmware using a CD/DVD to format and partition the Hard drive correctly Flash the latest navigation data using a SD Card Flash the firmware again using a CD/DVD I cannot guarantee this will fix you Columbus, but, it did for me, it was cheap, and provided you have the right tools, easy to do if you follow the steps and take your time. I'll also happily do it for you, for free (obviously you'd have to supply the hard drive, I've got the rest), but I'm not sure I'm near you, give me a pm if you're interested. There are also companies that will repair Columbus's much more cheaply than Skoda will replace, google rns510repairserviceuk or hazzydayz and I'm sure you'll find them, I've not used them myself but I seem they know their stuff.

Exact same symptoms with my columbus a few weeks ago, well, the dreaded constant reboot, had no drama with the mfsw. Scowered the Internet and there were vague forum posts about replacing the hard drive might fix it. Gave it ago, fixed it. Had to take the whole columbus apart, buy a m8 torx screwdriver, used hard drive (£10 off ebay) and flash the latest firmware and maps. A cheap fix, but took a little while. I'll link you to the guides I used when I get a bit more time, any questions feel free to ask on here or pm. Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk

Pm'd you TheSid.

Hello, new poster here, I'm looking to buy a used pre face-lift Yeti, a Diesel 140 CR in Elegance Trim Spec with 4 wheel drive and DSG box. Looking though these (very informative) forums, these are the following things I'm going to look out for when I'm checking out potential buys: DSG Shudder EGR on its way out (any way to tell?) Zinc Inclusions in the paint Good service history (feel free to correct me on any of the intervals): Service every 2 years DSG gearbox oil change at 40,000 miles Haldex Oil Change at 30,000 miles or after 3 years Timing Belt (and water pump) has been replaced at 100,000 miles or after 4 years Some of the Yeti's I'm looking at are at 70,000-100,000 miles, is there anything that usually goes at this kind of mileage? Wheel bearings, Bushings, CV joints, aircon, electrics, door seals, rust, etc? Anything I may have missed? I plan to check for any fault codes with a ELM327 bluetooth ODB2 adapter. I do a lot of Motorway miles, would any one be able to give their experience of motorway MPG for the same spec Yeti? Thanks for any help!

Hi there, long time lurker, have been dipping in and out of this great resource for a year or two, hoping to get my first Skoda soon! Merry Christmas.
