  1. Just bought an "approved" used yeti from a main dealer. Vehicle is 18 months old. I have noticed a few items missing. There is no warning triangle or first aid kit. I have a tyre inflation system but no jack, I take it that is correct or should I have a jack as well? There is no towing eye, spare bulb kit or wheel stud cover removal tool as mentioned in the manual. I have one screwdriver a locking wheel nut adapter and a litre of oil. What am I actually missing before I call them tomorrow. Thanks.

    Need some advice

    Just to give you all an update. I have walked away from this particular car, however the good news is the same dealer has had another Yeti come in. I have driven it and it is totally vibration free from what I was experiencing in the other car. The wife and I both described this vibration as a pulse through the pedal and although the sales guy did acknowledge that the vibration/pulsing was there the dealer mechanics say the car is perfectly fine and that particular vehicle didn't have a DMF fitted. So I have done a deal including the fitment and coding of a removable 13pin tow bar. The Yeti I have bought is a 140se, 2013 example. It doesn't have the off road button but I think I can live without it in the snow. Thanks for all the help and advice .

    The Yeti in question has just turned 3 years old at the start of May and is currently for sale at the supplying dealer as an "approved" vehicle. Doubtful it has had a regular flywheel installed if there was warranty work. So the misalignment of something seems plausible. I suppose I could always ask for a print out of all warranty work carried out. There is also a FSH with the Skoda dealer. I briefly mentioned the vibration but I have not pushed the issue yet as I have not entered a full blown negotiation on the car as it's about £1000-£1500 overpriced even after a £500 drop when I first enquired. The rest of the car is pretty much as new and the wife has suggested an RAC inspection which seems like a good idea. I'm not done yet. Wish me luck.

    Thanks everyone for the responses and info. Very helpful Explaining this issue further. There is engine vibration felt when pushing in the clutch and releasing the clutch. Really annoying to be honest. There is no judder when clutch takes up drive. I have a van with 170k on it and it's vibration free in any of the pedals. I owned a BMW with DMF problems so I know what clutch judder is. This is just lots of vibration when pushing in the clutch. Even when stationary and you can feel it when you rev the engine. I've the feeling I'm going to walk away from this one. Pity as it's actually a really clean example.
  5. Hi, hopefully the first of many posts here. Hoping to buy a used Yeti but have a quick question. I test drove a used 2011 140 4x4 28k. It drives fine though I have noticed a fair amount of engine vibration (not judder) in the clutch pedal. I can't another similar example for sale nearby to compare. Is this normal for these? Also any other things to look out for? The car has the "off road button" though I am not sure if it has tow bar prep.
