Could it be the oil pump not picking up oil on steep slopes, I had a Mini that needed an extra pint of oil over full level on fast hilly runs

I had several "false alarms" with my Yeti but it always pays to check. I set tyre pressures cold and reset the system before any long distance towing, I think that the slight increase in tyre heat may have triggered the alarm which was not wheel specific on the Yeti. One occasion It threw up an alarm so I stopped off the road and inspected the tyres I could see nothing wrong but I ran my hands around the inside of all the tyres and encountered a screw head, no leak as such, I drove on at lower speed and got home with no more alarms. The tyre fitter could not remove the screw so It was a new tyre.

I'm sorry you do not have the answers you had hoped for, it was a limited edition of around 750 and I had never heard of the type. Perhaps if you took some photos ? the normal mudflaps pick up the wheel arch liner screws, do your body kit sills obscure these? https://www.yetiownersclub.co.uk/threads/2014-black-edition-mudflaps.2489/

What is a "Black Edition" what makes it so different?

I bought my mudflaps from UK VW dealers and from an Eu source, all were easy to fit and genuine Skoda parts. I always found them worth fitting to reduce spray (whatever other people say) for myself and other drivers.

Thank you that is most helpful.

The Monte remains. Skoda £900+ for fitting a towbar. Spoke to a South West towbar fitter who was recommended by a Bath skoda dealer, "where are you Bristol? that is outside my territory" I am next door to Bath. I have two more to try. My trailer is kaput the dealer returned my deposit. All over a bl**dy towbar!

Might trade in the Monte and buy a FORD.,

Thank you all, so far all the towbar fitting companies just point out the towbar catalogue exclusion of the Monte Carlo. I have had as excuses; Electrical problems, Shelf type rear skirt Too high a leverage with even a low noseweight. None of which really makes sense as they are happily fitted to standard (non sporty) estates. Noseweight on the trailer I want to tow is 25-30kg

I am having trouble getting a towbar fitted, my local fitter (who is very good) cannot find a towbar that is Monte Carlo specific. I believe that any Skoda 2019 Estate towbar will do as the Monte Carlo is just a trim level but I need a definitive answer very soon as I have a trailer camper to pick up! Named brands would help.

Is your Air conditioner in use? This produces some puddles

The seat bases come out easily, the backs look as if they might but I never bothered to try. There are pivot brackets that look accessible.

My Yeti height was around 430+ almost the same as my Ford Focus I have it all written down somewhere, the EEC directive was 350-420. I think the size and make of tire will make a difference.

Have you stopped to wonder, what will take priority when there are more electric cars? Will it be homes and hospitals or cars that get the electricity when there is a "brown out" or even a full blown power cut. People must get to work after all .....
