Brilliant, thank you everyone. Yes, it's a 2017 outdoor (one of the last ones off the boat ! mine from new) I haven't done anything as yet. The next morning it was all working again, BUT it's dropped out a couple of times since. None of the side buttons will work (left or right side), and the touchscreen doesn't work. The unit is "stuck" on wherever it was when it "dropped out". Makes me think this is a dry joint somewhere. I've found a link for a repair firm but not done anything about it as yet. At £1500 from Skoda the cost of a replacement is prohibitive to say the least ! As a person whose always had Hondas it's very disappointing after only 6 years (30K miles) but nothing lasts forever, especially these days !

Hi M-T-C
Have you had any joy with your radio unit?
I had my built in sat nav give me trouble, as touch screen virtually stopped working. (2017 Yeti SE Drive)
I found out that it is the touchscreen digitizer.
This is the part I purchased & it did rectify the problem.
For VW Skoda MIB2 MIB STD2 Radio Multimedia Navi 6.5'' Touch Screen Digitizer
Ebay number...384454830977
After reading & watching a you-tube video, I found it quite easy to do.
Once apart, you fit the new one on top of the old one.
Of course you remove the ribbon cable from old screen to multi plug and with a bit of masking tape, stick it up out the way.
If you need any other info just shout, I'll help if I can.

Hi
Re the "I've found a link for a repair firm"
Yes I used them.
I sent my radio/nav off to them and email back saying £475 + vat to repair.
I refused & asked for the unit back. Next came a revised offer of repair £275 + vat.
I again asked for the unit back which they did do. Had to pay return postage, I expected that anyway.
I ordered the part from ebay & fitted it myself. £23.
I just got the impression they were out to get me. But I was wise to that.
Keep safe

Help ! Out of the blue today the head unit on my Yeti 1.2 outdoor has (partially) stopped working. Not working ; Always comes on the the last radio station I was listening to. None of the side buttons ; Phone, Media, Nav etc work None of the touch screen functions, eg can't change band, DAB/FM, a different station, scan etc etc. Working ; Volume - both knob and steering wheel On/Off switch Parking sensors Power off, key out, WAIT, power on has NOT WORKED Is there a "reset" switch or a startup combo to reset or am I looking at an expensive visit to a dealer ?

Can anyone tell me if there's an after market power tailgate kit for the Yeti please ? OR if anyone has successfully used the option from a Karoq or similar ? I have a July 2017 Yeti Outdoor (one of the last off the boat !) There's a serious reason behind this, my wife is blind and the Yeti has a Trans-K9 dog crate for safe transportation of her guide dog. I'd Like to make it as easy as possible to open (and close) the tailgate. Thanks in advance !

Hello. I hope someone can help. I've identified the motor, part number 6Y2959802 as the issue. My questions are ; 1. Does the part # have to be an EXACT match or are there equivalent parts (eg VW) that can be used ? 2. What significance do the other numbers have ? eg SK240DDRS ?

Bought a second hand Mk1 Fabia VRS with AP coil overs and want to revert to standard. Looking for a link to a standard kit springs and shockers please. Any help ?

Hello I've got one of the last Yetis - July 2017. Question : Is there an optional powered tailgate for this vehicle, and if anyone has had this done, how much ?

Fabia VRS Mk1 - replacement headlight units
ManThatCan replied to ManThatCan's topic in Skoda Fabia Mk I (1999-2007)
Thanks Lee - Have you fitted these ? I found the Euro Car Parts advert and messaged them with my reg number and they said they weren't compatible ? I wasn't sure if they meant the self leveling motors which i dont use and dont really need Regards David -
Hello Love my 2006 Fabia Mk1 VRS in black. At last MOT I was advised both headlight units would need to be replaced, due to the internal structure of the reflector being "borderline" to be able to perform the test. I've looked without success for after-market units. Ebay seems to be awash with units but they're for L/H cars. The Audi / VW offical parts are £150 each. Anyone advise on an aftermarket product a bit cheaper please ? Thanks, David

Oh no, I hear you groan - not another tyre post ! Can someone explain to me if it's important to get tyres for my VRS (170) with a XL rating as this seems to limit your choice. I know it's down to personal choice which make, but any real world experiences with this car welcome. Thanks David

Is it normal not to have an indicator that cc is engaged please ?

Thanks. I’m a complete newbie, I don’t want to change the standard ride height. It’s done 122K so I’m assuming it’s on the original suspension and it’s ready, so looking for a quality direct replacement. Could you suggest a few manufacturers? I don’t have a bottomless pit for a budget but happy to spend more for a good quality product
