A big thank you,Bopman.I took the complicated,tedious and expensive option of changing the thermostat.Alas,the problem you had persisted.Seeing your post,I took your advice and ordered the part.Bingo.Problem solved!Let me tell you your solution was unknown to professional mechanics knowing this engine, who ,until your revelation,were baffled. This is a priceless piece of advice you have posted here.Again,thanks a lot.

Hello,my 2.0 lt. 2011 dsg hardly ever reaches working temp(90 degs on the water temp guage),and when it does the temp will drop down again swiftly to around 40 or 50 degrees when going downhill,even on a short stretch. I was sure it was a thermostat stuck in open position problem.Had the thermostat changed to a new one (hell of a job,wish you all never to have to). To my surprise,the same problem persisted,so alas, it was not a thermostat failiure that cost a small fortune to do. Please,does anyone have any idea what the problem is? Really grateful and thankful for any help. Raphael

Had a battery change day before yesterday,the man connected my Yeti to another battery before disconnecting my old one.He said it is to keep the onboard computer running.

Excuse my ignorance,but what is VCDS please?

Bumper cut is minimal,cannot be seen unless one crouches and looks for it.

Thanks,Coldplug. Amazing videos.The chances of me ever driving in snow here in Israel are not big,but your videos certainly give confidence in the 4x4 Yeti we own. Come warmer weather here,Ill take her out to see how she handles sand,and ill post the vids here. Again,thanks a lot.Much appreciated.

40 MPG is in fact not too bad,in my opinion. I have a 2.0LT 140 HP DSG and i get less than that,unless I am on a longish haul with not too much use of the brakes on the way. The best I have acheived is like you,40. I too find it hard to understand people claiming any higher. I would like to see to beleive.

Well done! Thanks a lot!

Snow monster indeed! Thanks for posting.

How old is your Yeti? If it is relatively new , more mileage will fit everything into place. If not new,our fellow members advice is really helpful.

Get something like this http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005NDDEVQ?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00 Then pair it to your phone and plug it into the socket under the armrest. Set Bolero to AUX and off you go. Thats what I have done in my Yeti.

Sure. There are many models and makes.Mine has been installed and working over six months flawlessly,so you have a first hand recommendation.The screen is small,but thats just what I wanted.For a quick glance at the screen while reversing it is all I need,and takes minimal space on the windscreen. The camera mount has multiple options for fitting,I will send you a pic so you see how mine is fitted. It is the best option.Minimal interference with the Yeti electrics.Gets power from the reversing lamp,and just needs a live wire in the front.Here is the link,it is from the American Amazon,but i wouldnt be surprised if the UK site has them in stock too.Copy and paste in the adress bar. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001W6LGGS?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00

got an aftermarket camera .Wireless,so you need not bother sending a wire to the front.Just connect it to your reversing lights and get the front unit powered.Comes with a clear suction cup so you can fit it on the right side of your windscreen with minimum clutter.Costs round us60 dollars.Does the job. Anything else,meaning Skoda original ,is a waste of good money.

150,000 km is impressive indeed.You are a man with a light foot on the brakes.

Probably happened because you refuelled with the engine running.When refuelling the Yeti always turn the engine off.The guage will return to it self after a while.
