YetiMark

Resurrecting this because I seem to have this issue in my drivers door. None of the part numbers are coming up on ebay, does anyone know if its a dealer only part? I'm half tempted to just poke a drill bit through the current seals and see if that sorts it.

Hi, Apologies if this has been covered elsewhere I've done a search and I think i'm being confused by various bits of terminology and don't want to get the wrong value for the wrong bolt. I'll be changing discs and pads on my 2012 VRS diesel estate shortly thanks to ECP doing 50% off just now. Basically, I'm looking for the torque values of all the bolts that i'll need to be taking off and putting back on again. Going to put them onto a spreadsheet and save it on the computer. Any help greatly appreciated.

Please forgive me if there is a post somewhere. I've honestly been searching for about half an hour and can't find one. I'm looking for a guide to replace the discs and/or pads on my 2012 Octavia VRS. There must be one on here somewhere?

Think I've got some silicone in the house somewhere. Thanks. Any idea how to remove the door card?

I done the running water down the window with the door open test and the only drain with water coming out was the one nearest the hinge. There didn't appear to be any between the door card and door at the bottom. The top of the door on the inside and on the car itself does seem to get excessively wet after rain. Apologies if I sound like a bit of a simpleton here but I really am quite ignorant when it comes to things like this.

Hi folks, My 2012 diesel VRS has started to give a juddering feeling through the pedal when accelarating from 50mph to 60 and then it disappears. The car itself doesn't judder or anything it's just felt through the pedal and I've not noticed it in any other gears. Does anyone have any idea what it might be? I can't help but think that it feels expensive.

Didn't want to start a new thread so I'll ask here. I've just fitted LED bulbs to the interior of my 2012 Octavia VRS. When I unlock the car they come on but when I get in and close the door they stay on. I've checked the overhead switch is in the correct position. Am I missing something?

Cheers jme, Just phoned the garage and taking it in on Wednesday. Just wanted to save a garage bill. Obviously i'm not expecting a loan of a key for nothing.

Yeah, it's stamped on the hex end of the key. Where you would put it on the wrench. Might be hard to make out if the key is grubby.

Hi folks, I attempted to change from winter wheels earlier and couldn't because my locking wheel key is chewed up. I couldn't get a replacement from the dealer because they don't make one with a letter P. With a baby due in 2 weeks i'd like to avoid a garage bill so I'm wondering if anyone relatively near to Paisley has one I can borrow if I drive to them? I've already bought replacement locking bolts. Any help very much appreciated.

Indeed.

You bitch! lol Thanks Briskycat!

How do these attach to the car? I quite fancy getting one for my Yeti.

Yeah, that's my plan but it's blowing a gale and peeing down today. My plan was to fit 4 but I couldn't stretch to that at the time.

I think the local constabulary would have a different opinion. Cracking photo mind you, wish I had that snow up here.

I think I want it.

Is it? I do apologise. I'm new to these parts. I wanted to put it in a general skoda/mechanical section.

Thanks, out of interest where did you get your steel wheels?

Hi folks, In the past few weeks my 2010 Yeti has developed a horrible droning noise. I've had it at the dealer (who charged me £50) and they said it was down to having "not very good tyres" on the front (they are Nokian WR D3 winter tyres which have won many group tests so are hardly crap). The garage said they swapped the backs for the fronts and the noise disappeared. This confused me somewhat because surely the noise would still be present, just coming from the opposite end of the car. At the moment I have 2 steel wheels with the winter tyre on them on the front and on the back I have alloy wheels with Michelin Primacy tyres on them. On the motorway the noise seems to be worst at 60mph and all but disappears when I go above that. I was out last night around town and could hear it at about 30mph however when I went round a sweeping left hand turn it disappeared only to appear again when I straightened up. I've got another 300mile drive up north in a couple of weeks and really want it fixed by then. Does anyone think that putting my winter tyres on the spare alloys will make a difference or does it sound like more of a mechanical issue? My dad says it sounds like a dry bearing, although the garage claim to have checked this too and disagree. Any help very much appreciated.

Yeah, the fuse is the only 25 amp one in the dash panel. I'm sure the boot is closed properly but i'll check the dash when I go out later.

Hi folks, My rear demister has stopped working. I've checked the fuse and it's fine. Is there anything else I should check?

I'm going to swing by Halfords tonight and pick up a trolley jack for changing over to my winter wheels. Since the Yeti has a higher ride height than most cars, the question I have is do I buy the £30 one that lifts up to 34cm or do I buy the £60 one that lifts up to 54cm? I'd rather not spend the extra money if I don't have to for a jack that will be used twice a year to change wheels over.

Genius idea Weasley. I never thought of that.

Great. Thanks guys. Luckily I know a Skoda service manager.

Last night I was removing a sidelight bulb when it came off and fell into the light unit. Does anyone know how to take the lens off and gain access to the light unit? It's a 2010 model.
