Hmmm... a Yeti driver who listens to Aphex Twin. You're definitely breaking the mould a tad! FWIW, we use our TDI Yeti in about the same way as you've described, and find it excellent around town. DPF has not been an issue at all, particularly if you're doing the odd Motorway run.

Sorry, yes - thats what happened.

Has anyone experienced issues with squealing brakes at low speed? We've heard a squeal coming from the brakes for our 2.0 Outdoor TDi Yeti since shortly after we bought the car - mainly at low speed (eg 10-20kms p/h), when lightly braking going down a minor incline (such as a gradually sloped road or driveway). We raised it with the dealer recently at our first (15K) service, and they first indicated that it was 'glazing', and proceeded to take them off to rough them up a little, however that hasn't helped. I've just called them to query it, and they've advised that there is no issue in terms of braking, and that it is just caused by brake dust, which is common for people living in hilly areas (we're in the Adelaide Hills). I'm not at all happy with this response - we don't drive the car in any abnormal or unusual way, and while we do live in the hills, there is nothing particularly extreme about our environment. With that in mind, I don't think it's unreasonable for us to not accept this, and would like to take it further. Just wondering if anyone else has encountered a similar issue with their Yeti, and what the root cause (and solution) was? Thanks

Got the panoramic roof on our Yeti Outdoor earlier this year, and have not regretted it for a minute. The ambience it lends to the cabin alone (extra natural light etc..) makes it well worth the money alone imo. But couple that ability to open it right up on a late summer afternoon drove back from the beach - just awesome. We wouldn't be without it now.

So it looks like the distortion sound had come from the speaker vibration rattling a couple of things in the door recess. Removed them and all good! Thanks everyone who offered suggestions /advice - much appreciated.

I don't expect an absolute premium sound, but nor do I expect distortion at only average bass at not unreasonable volume.

Good suggestion, thanks. I'll check the door pockets as that may be the issue. In the event that it's not, I assume this is something that can / should be looked at under warranty?

Four months in to our new Yeti and I've noticed that there is some distortion coming from the right speaker (drivers door), while playing music with a bit of bass, and at a volume that while loud, is certainly not excessive. We went with the Tech Pack (not sure what is called outside of Oz) which is supposed to have the 'premium' sound system, so the performance is disappointing. It's possible that is just a fault with the speaker and /or installation, so I'll get them to check it at our first service, but has anyone else noticed this with their Yetis audio?

Unable to check at the moment, but I'm pretty sure it reflects the 15,000 recommendation from the dealer. We'll definitely be getting it done at 15k, but just torn as to the value of doing an interim service around now (ie 7-8000 kms).

We've got a 2014 build (FL) with Sunroof and the 'submarine' lights are fitted and working. They are always on at night, and we really like the effect. Was interested to know though if you could turn it off (not that we want to), so might try turning off 'Auto' mode as someone else suggested. Certainly no issues with glare or distraction off of the glass though.

Hi all Just hoping to get some advice /thoughts on when to take our Yeti (Outdoor 2.0 tdi) in for its first service. Dealer recommendation is at 15,000 kms, but I've spoken to a couple of people who have suggested halving that (at least for an interim oil change). We've already clicked over 7000 kms in the first 4 months (and still loving it). Any thoughts?

The only concern I've got with the genuine Skoda one is that it doesn't seem to go over the curved lip, which is the bit that is most likely to scratch or get marked (has already happened on our Outdoor).

There's no roof racks on that? Have since seen a picture earlier in the thread though showing sunroof and roof racks and it looks fine. Thanks to those who responded.

Does anyone have a panoramic roof with roof bars fitted also? Interested to know how they go together.

As I understand it though, by the time the DPF light comes on, it's going to require a specific act of intervention (ie driving at certain revs for a set period of time) to resolve the issue. I'm looking at how I can better manage this in the course of our normal day to day usage (which involves a number of short trips during the week), to avoid even even getting to that point. This is working on the premise that having the light come on and then dealing with it then is not the optimal way to manage a diesel engine with a DPF (which may be misinformed on my part).
