I'll upload some photos directly, just have to reduce size and edits. For now.... https://www.flickr.com/photos/126273005@N06/14474086228/

Hi Dave, Thanks for your reply. It happens as you put it in to gear with light throttle. I took it to the dealers and the technician noticed it when he kept edging the car backwards and forwards while switching it from Drive to Reverse. Very light and short creaking sound. Got it booked in for check on 04th August

Did you manage to sort things out?

I'm havign the exact same problem on my Yeti. 1.2 Tsi FL 330 mils on the clock.

Hello, I'll upload pictures of my new FL as soon as I can, sorry for being late! (This started at about one week old. I didn't notice anything like this at the beginning) I have a creaking or slight rattle which seems to unearth when you first put it in D. The moment when it initiates and starts to pull forward; there's a fairly noticeable creaking sound which can be heard inside and outside the car. It only seems to happen as the car pulls or, whether in D1 or in Reverse. I have heard it happen, with the bolero off, on higher ratios also like D2,3,4. Definitely most noticed on D1 and R though 1) Have any of you experienced this? 2) What do you reckon I should do to fix it? Just want to sound a bit more clued-up when I take it to the dealer. Thanks in advance. Liam

Interesting! Thanks for sharing

Thankfully no, Colin. I'm sorry to hear about the troubles you've had that's just not on, I mean seeing those pictures - not good at all. I hope you manage to sort things out

Our car arrived Yesterday and we will be collecting on Monday after Checks and a polish can't wait!

Indeed!

Looking good! Definitely feel the city looks tidier on the front end. But that's just my opinion!

You see I don't get the rave about the Nissan to drive. I too loved the new design and the cabins is absolutely fantastic for the price! Well above the yeti "feel" wise. The drive however was not impressive. I found the 1.5 dci engine intrusive and so much tyre/road noise. The gear changes and clutch didn't feel anywhere near as smooth as the yetis. Maybe paying more for the Tekna just reduces comfort I don't know. The Yeti won anyway. Second place definitly Mazda CX-5 or Hyundai ix35.

Post more pictures when you can with your updates! New badges etc....

Wow that as quick! Nice one.

Also has the facelift model heads much of a difference?

Heard the yeti has average refinement, is his true? Understand the boxy shape probably doesn't help. Any tricks to lower the noise? Do you notice a big difference between he diesels and the petrol engines? Thanks!
