Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel
Sorry - in addition to the above I meant to ask the question if whether or not you tied it down to the air conditioning? I would have thought that after a week of non use there wouldn't be any water. I ask a mechanic today what he thought and he just shrugged his shoulders and said that it could be anything and not to worry. I've just booked it in for a service in a moths with a garage that specialise in Yetis and other Skodas. Hopefully he might come up with something.

Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel
Thanks for that. Interesting - much the same as mine. The strange thing is that my Yeti has been parked in the same garage overnight ever since we brought her home brand new from the dealership and this has only started happening within the last 2 weeks. Showing her age or perhaps she has a secret little place.

Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel
Thanks. When we get some dryer weather I'll pour water onto the windscreen and see the result. There isn't any water in the gulley at the base of the windscreen, but I agree that this MUST be rainwater as there isn't a source of "ordinary" clear water elsewhere.

Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel
Thanks for the ideas. I too thought it might be rainwater and I checked the drain hole on the offside but that was perfectly clear, and the car hasn't been out of the garage in any rain for 4 days. It's not the washer bottle either as I have a washer fluid additive and the water is blue and not clear. Once I find out what it is I shall certainly report back.

Aircon has not been used in the last 4 days. No sunroof. fos = front-off-side

Puddle of water appearing on floor near to fos wheel
For the last week or so, most mornings I've found a small puddle of water just inside the line of the fos wheel on the garage floor. I'd say that it amounts to about 2 or 3 tablespoonfuls. I've tasted the water and it certainly isn't coolant, and in any event the water level in the expansion tank hasn't changed. I'm sure it's not aircon derived as I've not used it for about. the same period. I thought it was rainwater being held with somewhere below the windscreen but I've no idea where to look. To sum up, I don't think this is serious to take the car off the road, but it niggles me that I cannot find a solution. Hopefully one of you might be able to suggest something. Thanks

Thanks for replying. I don't know either of these companies. COuld you supply links please?

Paint Protective FIlm
Thanks for the link. I've tried one of the ready cut PPFs for the Yeti in the past, but they're very flimsy indeed and formed little protection.

Has anyone come across a good source of the Paint Protective Film (PPF) for the rear wheel arches please? Following some minor damage I now need to replace one side. Thanks

Yeti puddle lights unit connector
Thanks for that. As it happens I noticed that on the side of the connector plug there was a hole. Ever hopeful, I got a watchmakers screwdriver which I inserted into the said orifice and the connector parted company with the socket as easy as that. I hope others facing the same dilema might benefit from this tip.

Yeti puddle lights unit connector
I need to replace the unit containing the puddle light and indicator unit courtesy of a stone wall I nudled against whilst on holiday. I have a replacement unit which I have separated from the mirror housing but I cannot for the life of me remember how to undo the connector plug. Please can some kind person take pity on an old fella and tell me how this is done please? Thanks

What is the battery life.
Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I shall get the battery checked out as soon as possible. @nta16 In the last 10 yeaers I've not had any need to charge the battery other than run the engine on a journey.

Thanks guys. Looks like I may be on borrowed time. I'll look to getting it changed soonest.

What is the battery life.
My lovely Yeti will be 10 years old in November and I was wondering if there exists any recommendation regarding battery replacement. We've done just under 71,000 miles if that has any bearing on the subject. Thanks

Help with SD Card issues
Thanks Paul for your post. I am experimenting but getting nowhere. I suspect that something is awry with the Bolero unit itself. The files play beautifully on my imac, ipad and phone so I'm happy with the files themselves. I will try and experiment with the file format like you said. Meanwhile I have posted for help on the Apple forum but so far no help there.

Help with SD Card issues
Well, I have tried all ways of getting back to how it used to be with my Bolero unit, so I must now suspect that the unit itself is faulty. I've now given up on this "nice to have" facility. Shame, but there it is :(

Help with SD Card issues
I gave the SD card the same name as I gave the previous one that gave up the ghost. But should I put all my songs in a directory? Good idea which I did immediately and this time the unit said "Reading the SD card" then nothing. So I think you may have pointed me in the right direction. I shall experiment with putting a couple of songs in a folder and seeing if it works. Thanks very much. I'll update the thread with the result.

Help with SD Card issues
I have used my Bolero unit to play my media files without any issues up to now. But quite suddenly my SD card failed in some way. Anyway, I bought a new card and filled it with mp3 files but the Bolero unit doesn't see the card. Previously (I am an Apple mac user) I used iTunes to export a playlist to my SD card and it worked a treat. Now a few years ago Apple withdrew iTunes and replaced it with the Music app. I created my playlist in Music but there is no export facility. So I tried dragging the playlist - but that didn't work. I managed to drag the songs onto the card but still. nothing. I've tried various SD Card formats. Can anyone point me at a tutorial for this please?

Touchscreen replacement
My lovely 2016 Yeti's Bolero touchscreen has gone crackers, so I'm looking to take the beast on and replace the screen. Can anyone tell me the screen size and part number I should be looking for to do this please - I see there are a lot of them on ebay? Thanks
