The plot thickens! I didn't know that! I usually drive it until the idle returns to normal, occasionally is not practical and I just have to switch it off, say if I'm arriving at work, but even if I do have to switch it off, it starts regening again when I next start it, and I drive it until it has finished.

Stopped yes, but you don't have to turn the engine off. You can tell by the lack of auto stop function and the higher idle RPM. You wouldn't be able to tell by those with the engine off! Also, the fuel consumption increases quite a bit!

Hi. I know it's doing a regen by the fact that the idle speed is increased, the auto stop us disengaged, the cooling fans running, the heat escaping from under the car, and a hot smell coming from the exhaust! I did a fair bit of research before posting about it, and I'm confident that's what our is doing... Simon

Hi all, I have a 2017 Yeti L&K 2.0 TDI (DFSB Engine code) just less than 17,000 miles, and I am becoming quite alarmed by the number of DPF regenerations it's doing. I do a lot of short trips, and realise now that the diesel probably wasn't the best option for me, but I'm stuck with it now. When I first got it, it would regen every few hundred miles, or around 5 weeks, but recently is been getting more and more often, this is the second time this week, even though I did a 60 mile run 2 days ago, just after the last regen. I have always let out run through its regen cycle (occasionally I have stopped it had way through because I didn't realise it was doing it), but 90% of the time I drove out until the cycle has finished. There had not been any warning lights on the dashboard. Although I do lots of very sorry trips, I also get it out on a good run a couple of times a month. I don't use supermarket fuel, So I'm wondering if this is normal? It's it a sign that the DPF is going to give me trouble soon? When the regen starts, is it ok to leave it at idle until it's finished, or should it be driven while it's regenerating? Any advice greatfully received, I'd like to understand a bit more about what's going on, but there are so many differing opinions on this. Many thanks Simon

Yeah, you're right! Thanks a lot for the info. I'm sure I'll love the sunroof once the spring comes!

Ahh, right, it does have a sunroof.....maybe it doesn't have them! They were one of my favourite things, I'd rather have them than the glass roof! I wonder if they're there and can be turned on in vcds......

But if I remember rightly, on my last yeti, they were controlled by the dash board brightness control....

Cheers, but I've tired that, dash lights on full, but nothing!

Yeah, there are 2 holes for them...

Evening everyone, So after nearly 2 years without a yeti, I missed it so much, I bought another one today! 2017 L and K 2.0 150. It's like going home! But so much better than the last one! Except that one of the things I missed was the tiny interior LEDs at the front on the interior light cluster, and they're not working! I've been through the options in the car, and searched this site, but can't find anything about them. Anyone any ideas? Thanks in advance! Simon

Ive fixed cars for years, and have never seen another in car service indicator reset that makes it so obvious to the driver.

What muddyboots said! I serviced mine last week, im lucky enough to have a guy who runs a garage and lets me use his kit. Ran a scan on his scanner (no faults I might add, having only had the car 6 weeks, I was a little concerned what was going to come up!) and went to rest the service indicator. It wouldn't have it with the scanner, but was really easy with the maxidot. Im surprised Skoda made it that easy!

MHO, for what it's worth.... Bought my 2010 Yeti Elegance 1.8tsi just over 6 weeks ago. Swapped a 56 Ibiza 1.4 for it, so it was quite a change. I looked at octavia scouts, and passat 4motion, but the Yeti was by far the most fun, the best looking, and the best equipped. I haven't regretted it. It's comfortable, fast, pretty well equipped and, best of all, has bags of character. It's comfortable on the motorway, though there is a bit of wind noise, and will put a smile on your face when you throw it around on a B road. You can see out of it, the driving position is excellent, as are the seats, and the rough or snowy road capabilities are so much better than i expected. The only thing I'm not struck on is the fuel economy, but the tsi is a brilliant engine, and I wouldn't swap it, fortunately I don't do a lot of miles. I would try to find one with the Amundsen SatNav unit, the Bolero in mine feels a bit dated and clunky, but it was a small sacrifice to make overall.

I have a 16 gig class 10 card with about 11gigs worth of mp3's on it, and it takes an age to read the card, if I want to change album, it can take over 2 minutes! Anyone know what the problem might be? Thanks

My drivers one definitely isn't working. I'll have to get on to the warranty company....
