It's a DIY repair - £20 for the part - follow the youtube videos.

Is this an MIB2 unit (i.e. 2015+ car)? Touchscreen is usually a failed digitizer - £20 off aliexpress. Depending on how it's failed I could envisage how it could take out the left hand buttons.

Strikes me as pretty normal pricing for genuine parts - I don't understand why you were shocked?

Having previously owned a CR170 and been mightily impressed with the brakes, I was disappointed when I bought the SCR150 which has brakes I would describe as "sufficient" but no more than this. I too wanted to retrofit the CR170 brakes to to the SCR150 but it looks to be a path nobody has trodden due to complexity & cost. So I have decided that if/when I replace the brakes on mine, I will fit my favourite Ferodo DS2500 pads which are quite simply outstanding in every application I have ever used them.

DIY and it will cost around £20-25 - digitizer part available from ebay or aliexpress. Video on youtube shows you how to do it & it's really not difficult. Pay someone else to do it and will cost anywhere between £150-£600+, yes some companies out there are not afraid to pull your pants down on a £25 part & 1 hour's labour.

I would use something like tigerseal. Though you can also buy trim tape from places like Halfords.

I would suggest asking this question on the Yeti Owners club site as there are way more yeti owners over there than on here.

Much simpler solution - I just unplugged mine. It's now permanently in the unlocked position but given there is anti-syphon devices in the filler neck anyway (and does anyone ever have fuel theft anymore anyway?!) I just didn't see the point of having it lockable and risking it failing on me - as it had started to get sticky and was becoming more & more of a pain to get to open on the forecourt. So simply unplugged the wiring - it still latches shut and pushes open fine - but no more fear of it not releasing.

Agreed - mine was also the slave - total PITA - expensive repair for a cheap part.

That wheel is totally repairable by any reputable alloy wheel refurb place. And will be just as strong as a new rim at a fraction of the cost.

Try a different USB cable. Has the phone been set to "Trust" the car? Also are you certain the car has carplay/smartlink activated?

Just done a search on ebay - for used yeti armrest - 40 are returned, of which 17 are leather, 16x black & 1x brown. And that's without trying breakeryard, gumtree, fb marketplace etc. So wow yes impossible to get in the right colour....

Just typical UK population "throwaway" mentality. As soon as something goes wrong people just scrap the car and get another - I saw one of my neighbours scrap her perfectly good 2007 Vauxhall Vectra last week because one of the headlamp bulbs needed replacing and she couldn't do it - so instead called the local scrappers to come tow it away & she bought a Tiguan to replace it with. I offered to replace the bulb for her but she said she didn't care about the old car & couldn't be bothered getting it repaired and just wanted a new one. That car has since been stripped - perfectly good car just needed a bulb....

There are hundreds of Yeti's being broken - just buy the parts you need from a car with a black interior. Painting beige to black will never last. Been there, done that.

Mine started doing this when the slave cylinder was failing as the clutch pedal wasn't returning to the correct position to trigger the display to update.

Those photos are for removing door cards to access all the torx screws & connectors to undo wiring. To replace the window switch you just need to insert the screwdriver where shown and push forward & up.

The ring is a castellated lump of metal which rotates with the hub next to the sensor which "reads" it via hall-effect sensor. Check this for rust, damaged/split teeth. If it's dirty, damaged or past it's best it will cause the sensor to pick up erroneous readings.

I don't understand this review at all. I have ordered many times from this company - including twice in the last 2 months to the UK. The first thing they ask is confirmation that you understand the need to cover import charges but once you confirm this then the items are shipped and arrive via Parcelforce in about 3-4 days. Even with import duty the parts I have ordered from them have all been around 30% cheaper than buying from a dealer in the UK and some of their 3rd party accessories are simply not available to buy in the UK. I ordered some quite large items from them including roof bars & side skirts for my Yeti - no issue with sizing whatsoever. All items have arrived in perfect condition - their 3rd party accessories are very good quality - I am very satisfied with them as a customer. The only thing I would say is to check what you're ordering VERY carefully to be 100% certain it's the correct item for your car, as trying to communicate with them for returns is quite difficult - mostly seems to be because of the language barrier. As for never replying - they have ALWAYS replied to me, but my email software does file their replies in SPAM folder so it's worth checking in there.

Sounds like a bulb reaching end of life to me. Not sure why it would not do the "dance" on startup though - that sound like a possible issue with the aim/levelling system.

You can't just go sticking any wheels on a car. Wheel dimensions & offsets are carefully calculated & matched to suit a car's handling characteristics. Changing the alloys for some from another car risks changing the handling of the car. It could also cause ESP & ABS issues. If you subsequently have an accident your insurers may take a very dim view of you using non-standard wheels on the car.

Given the reputation these units have for causing fires, I think I'd not worry and just remove it and dispose of it!

Rear battery? The battery is in the engine bay on my car & every other Yeti I have seen....

It's EITHER the bulb, OR the headlamp - ridiculously unlikely to be both. Any garage that wants to change both is a garage that clearly don't understand the difference between their rectum & elbow.

Shame I didn't see this a month or so back - I bought almost the same spec & similar mileage, but manual rather than DSG from a garage near Andover & black rather than grey. Would have preferred DSG & not-black - AND you're a lot closer to me! I thought I'd checked the ads on here, must have missed it... darn it!
