  1. I am looking for some Black VRS heated leather seats with manual functions (Just fronts).. Does this version exist? I could live without the heat but don't want the hassle of retro fitting electric seats. Could possibly collect, cash waiting for right seats.
  2. Yes it did have the screen/filter cleaned as well.. I work for a company that has Skoda franchise in its business's so they guys look after the car properly when it comes to the basics. They have all the correct tools and at staff rates its affordable also. Leaves me a bit extra to do other things.
  3. No I hadn't seen those posts. All have there interesting points, thanks!
  4. Having started recently upgrading my Yeti I am pleased to see it isn't only me that thinks the platform is excellent for mods. I got mine for towing mainly but want a punchy handling performance cars as well. As an experienced track driver I tow my other cars about so something had to give when I decided to sell my 335d as it wouldn't tow enough.. I am well chuffed overall and have already upgraded all the sound system and now want to add Brakes (how I got your post) and also coilovers. I have already booked for mapping after having the DSG gearbox and Haldex serviced by Skoda along with the timing belt/pump. Gearbox service on the DSG transformed the car for those who think its a waste of money.. All the slop gone and very nice change through the gears under load (mine is 50000 miles). On the brakes I have been looking for part numbers so that I can put bigger discs and then carriers for the current callipers on, anyone help with this? Elegance 4x4 2.0TDi DSG is my car if that matters.
  5. I will throw a bomb in the discussion as my intentions are far away from most ;-) I bought my Yeti for pulling round the UK my track car. The big boot etc is great for tools and the 4X4 2.0tdi is excellent, especially now it has being re-mapped and air filtered so it can breath better (shame the dpf etc restricts the car by 50/60 available HP & loads of NM). I recently completely overhauled the speaker system with amazing results over standard using the head unit from Skoda. I should also say that at 47000 miles when I bought my Yeti I did the gearbox and Haldex system servicing with Skoda followed by belts and water pump. Gearbox service was magic in taking all the slack out of the gear changes making it drive like new, I am also sure if stuck in a field in the next few years the Haldex system will also perform well. My next job relevant to the post is to drop the suspension 60/85mm with coiler suspension, I think maybe KW V1's at the minute but I am open to any suggestions that people may have done. I am as a track driver, very impressed with the overall handling of the broad stance Yeti and want to just loose some of the body roll to give a better corner control/ride. I understand for many this will be a step too far, so those people I think they also will be upset that I also intend to change the wheels and upgrade the brakes over the coming months as well, but as they say my money my car. I want to have a great looking sounding tug bus that when not towing will provide a car that will entertain beyond Skoda's expectations, for me that is anyway!
  6. Thanks for the support! I have a Elegance spec car so do have the speakers already in the rear making my job easier. I should also say that I did fit the rears speakers listed but took a touch more faffing about given I mistakenly thought front and rear were the same when the rears were only 5.5" (I did the fit over 3 weekends). I have also now refitted some JBL tweeters 45w/50w RMS as the ones that came with the S62C's wasn't quite handling the new power levels on higher levels. Now I have this done the system blows your head off, literally makes your ears hurt lol. I don't have it cranked up often but from very low to full chat it now has a completely rounded full sound. I am very happy I took the trouble and hope the post helps others in the future. https://www.amazon.co.uk/JBL-SPKCB3412T/dp/B07XRHF5W6/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=jbl+tweeters&qid=1613290149&rnid=1642204031&s=electronics&sr=1-2 Link from the post buddy.. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Yeti-Match-Amp-harness-Package-PP62DSP-FREE-PP-AC-Harness-Cable/233162543995?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item364992137b:g:XvYAAOSwdC5chV6E&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkai8xCwosGKpC0NWj85e%2FB82EhrALHtaP7GJJs%2B9u0853ULURJVVt3H3bLvjqHPBo%2BeWxKlDI4Ak1duL7ippcBoZA%2BvYhLm%2Bu324ApumfoxWX7zj%2FHlSB5d55pA6V2vPC59qMaBivGNgs53xqeQBCkO5vasgb2Gf9YUgr9BKfnY7A%2BLMApR9XPpMGwzIRam74Dchlel0fAFPjbvuQ3TvGWBlpkIf0rgMxqkwEI418VV0xUeJtgSaOE%2F%2Fqh2zuDkNHWSmcHEdYcQM%2FjSqBPY2P4k9wRtgZMH6TQLBrnsPTbMGUYLPb0igS2asSPdryQSbxXI%2BekUPk9lhAZF901zcRPoin2MJ7MQZTO7PYPheQeGvmvojGy2TNHJeLQOj9QwNSoosdEt9VXPUufieSsGeKLaOVNubzt%2FhQa%2BWWbtOtuD%2BSbDfJ0JBsU6uWUV1QColmu3wX3pxcZbNnFfkB%2FcdPCYZ55OBaGl89trVlHfN%2BSTGb9rewHG4eRmiC1odyBL4lkB%2BNmhKf9BzKwU0HB9AhgB9HwByolGgDQZodWg1ByjwGR8Pwd04MOQREoB%2F8x5GSKpz%2F5ZXPTMu2hEHywakgeNWUToG5jUm8bcrIGCPip7VknDE2hbciiSjVOx6dV0NpUJciEoJAShTNf6TITJF%2B5%2BWN59XbSybrl2lBgqLH3n3TvXZp6GVid%2B4oOjEa5u64YScWQB6bsOLaMjxBO8L2gnDstobz%2BKGBA4zc5tPBAVaiM724b6dJGNUC2Yu44P2MxYR94F32j4SOrGgz1F2lrA%3D%3D|cksum%3A2331625439950ff325f3d0f447f0a91b9a7e3b7a9884|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524
  7. Lots of people offer opinion rather than facts and the latter is what I was hunting for. I have now created a user friendly answer to all that want to do this job which will avoid all the other people in other posts just saying how good the system is from factory, fine for them and maybe you, but not me.. I don't care about been muted of blocked the internet is a big place with millions of people and you cant please them all.. in case you ever come across someone who has blocked me/not found this post you will be able to give them facts based on knowledge rather than opinions now. I wish you well in your intercepting endeavours. I have listed all parts at bottom of post and maybe someone might find the info useful. 1st thing to note is that the standard speakers are in my opinion poor quality 7" I know some may disagree, if you like listening to the radio without a full round sound and fluffing speakers then this post isn't for you as standard set-up clearly will be good enough ;-). Deciding that I wanted to do a sound overall nearly as soon as I bought my Yeti I decided to replace mine with quality 6.5" sets of speakers rather than the poor 7" ones & these require reducer adaptor rings/standoffs, 7" quality speakers are far more expensive than 6.5" ones and for me not worth the extra £3-500 it is also worth noting that the original speakers/surrounds are rivet fitted, a drill and rivet gun will be needed to do the job. I did try modding the first surround but realised after a lot of cutting and finishing that for the cost it just want worth the time involved to make the reduction needed 4 times. For front I went Helix audiotex S62C 100w RMS component speakers, these come with a great tweeter also and priced at £218 (made an offer) I thought fairly good price for what is a decent speaker. I tried to initially mount the tweeters from the front dremelling out a hole to fit the enlarged tweeter to find once trail fitted that the cover doesn't fit. The correct/easiest way is to remove the original tweeter (Thinners pored round the glue left for a minute allows the glue to release with a bit of sensible pushing so as not to break the surround (thumb press in enough) then simple heat glue the new tweeter to the rear, all fits no issue and no cutting etc. You will see what I mean when you try this. I should also say that I have used the original loom to drive everything bar some adaptor cables I bought. To the rear fitting is easier and I went again for a decent speaker that will generate a bit more depth than the fronts to give a more full overall sound. Hertz MP 165.3 Mille Pro 6.5" woofers 100w RMS again replacing the 7" standard ones, these were in comparison quite a cost effective upgrade and priced at £135 again I feel great value. The adaptors are needed again in the rears along with drill and rivet gun, but fitting is much quicker than the from as I didn't fit additional tweeters. Fired up the sounds and the before and after are properly chalk and cheese. For most this would be a great upgrade and fulfil a general speaker upgrade. Well for me yes I was happy with the general sound and depth but it just lacked a touch of punch, so decided to fit a small amp so that I could drive the sound lower down (amps are not all about making systems louder although obviously they will also do that. I opted for a Match PP 62DSP £375 (so not the cheapest thing) because it comes with the cambus loom to fit straight in (as plug and play) there are specific head unit adaptors which my supplier sent as well included making this install almost too easy. That is until you want to get the head unit out! Watch on YouTube really, but long and short you have to trim remove the surround that goes around all the heating controls and a bit of other trim to reveal the size 5 star fixings so you can lift it out to connect the looms. My starting the system back up and setting all the sounds left me verbally saying WOW what a difference! Without the amp I was 100% happy so going further is just cream. The problem this then created in sound was some of the warmth was taken. Now understand that I use my car to tow a race car so boot space is important for tools & stuff when going on events so my next and final decision was based on compromise rather than just outright correctness as it where. To get some warmth and full roundness, to the now awesome system I decided to fit an sub woofer (the amp and system I used supports this). I hunted high and low for what I thought would be a good balanced sub that could be fastened to the back of the rear seat. I eventually decided after many hours hunting and researching to go for a under-seat sub (yes can be fitted upright no problem). My choice the Soundstorm (SSL) LOPRO10 1200w Subwoofer priced sensibly at £139 which I assure you in sound belies its concept and size for a 10 inch sub! I am not trying to move enough air to get the windows to pop out bear in mind, but create a sound in car with full range and surround like capable warm strong feel you may get in a car like a Volvo or BMW with quality upgrade systems. I also bought a subwoofer wiring kit link below. Conclusion: Was it worth doing and the cost? Yes 100% completely transforms the cars standard sound whilst retailing the factory head unit which to be honest is very good in my car as it has nav/media etc... Would I do it again or different? Actually no, I found a recipe that worked 1st time! Having family in the car means we listen to everything from Garage/House/Rock music right across the range of general pop to the wheels on the bus go round and round, so does it all and does it well! I thought for some you may want to cherrypick some of these upgrades as time goes buy so you set out the links to the original sources of the bits although I understand these will stop working over time which is why I listed the names of everything also in the post. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HELIX-Audiotec-Fischer-S-62C-6-5-100w-RMS-Component-Speaker-set/233202058660?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Hertz-MP-165-3-Mille-Pro-6-5-165mm-Car-Midrange-Woofer-Speakers-Set-100w-RMS/333103856768?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-Yeti-Match-Amp-harness-Package-PP62DSP-FREE-PP-AC-Harness-Cable/233162543995?_trkparms=ispr%3D1&hash=item364992137b:g:XvYAAOSwdC5chV6E&amdata=enc%3AAQAFAAACcBaobrjLl8XobRIiIML1V4Imu%2Fn%2BzU5L90Z278x5ickkai8xCwosGKpC0NWj85e%2FB82EhrALHtaP7GJJs%2B9u0853ULURJVVt3H3bLvjqHPBo%2BeWxKlDI4Ak1duL7ippcBoZA%2BvYhLm%2Bu324ApumfoxWX7zj%2FHlSB5d55pA6V2vPC59qMaBivGNgs53xqeQBCkO5vasgb2Gf9YUgr9BKfnY7A%2BLMApR9XPpMGwzIRam74Dchlel0fAFPjbvuQ3TvGWBlpkIf0rgMxqkwEI418VV0xUeJtgSaOE%2F%2Fqh2zuDkNHWSmcHEdYcQM%2FjSqBPY2P4k9wRtgZMH6TQLBrnsPTbMGUYLPb0igS2asSPdryQSbxXI%2BekUPk9lhAZF901zcRPoin2MJ7MQZTO7PYPheQeGvmvojGy2TNHJeLQOj9QwNSoosdEt9VXPUufieSsGeKLaOVNubzt%2FhQa%2BWWbtOtuD%2BSbDfJ0JBsU6uWUV1QColmu3wX3pxcZbNnFfkB%2FcdPCYZ55OBaGl89trVlHfN%2BSTGb9rewHG4eRmiC1odyBL4lkB%2BNmhKf9BzKwU0HB9AhgB9HwByolGgDQZodWg1ByjwGR8Pwd04MOQREoB%2F8x5GSKpz%2F5ZXPTMu2hEHywakgeNWUToG5jUm8bcrIGCPip7VknDE2hbciiSjVOx6dV0NpUJciEoJAShTNf6TITJF%2B5%2BWN59XbSybrl2lBgqLH3n3TvXZp6GVid%2B4oOjEa5u64YScWQB6bsOLaMjxBO8L2gnDstobz%2BKGBA4zc5tPBAVaiM724b6dJGNUC2Yu44P2MxYR94F32j4SOrGgz1F2lrA%3D%3D|cksum%3A2331625439950ff325f3d0f447f0a91b9a7e3b7a9884|ampid%3APL_CLK|clp%3A2334524 https://www.amazon.co.uk/10IN-1200W-LOW-PROF-SUB/dp/B001CY13W2 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1200-Watts-Complete-8-AWG-Gauge-Car-Amplifier-Amp-Wire-Sub-Subwoofer-Wiring-Kit/264990735143?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Skoda-speaker-wiring-plugs-Yeti-Plug-Play-speaker-adaptor-connector-leads/133548878106?ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649 https://www.dynamicsounds.co.uk/search.html?search=CT25VW16

  9. I think the rear speakers in my Yeti are 5" and one has gone down/stopped working properly to the point I have turned the rears off in the fader. I have always thought the sound was rubbish and not unto the same quality as the head unit so decided to upgrade them all. Looking around it would seem not many do this making the job even harder. I have bought a small amp to just drive everything a bit stronger (plug play not installed yet) and have had advice on tweeters front and speakers but as the rears are 5" I am unsure if I can get adaptors etc to fit 6.5" anyone done anything like this yet? Respectfully: I have no interest in being told the standard system is great and the best thing ever installed in a car! Having several cars and historically some specy Volvos amongst others with surround sound experience, the Yeti is very bad compared to almost anything else. My car, my money, my choices ;-) Thanks for understanding and not posting on the feed rubbish that I have no interest in!
