Sat nav giving incorect info
https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/332801-amundsen-sat-nav-total-failure/. does this help at all? (from elsewhere on Briskoda) Also, in your Navigation menu do you have a function key in the form of a small rectangular oblong screen with something like an eye superimposed over its lower left corner? Pressing that function key seems to open the door to the extra window split screen. Sorry that I'm having to do this from my own download but the original car and manual have moved on and copy/paste disables all the manual's icons and other characters

Sat nav giving incorect info
GPS satellite signal The unit uses the GPS (Global Positioning System) satellite signal for route guidance. Outside the range of the GPS satellite signal (e.g. in dense vegetation, in tun- nels, parking garages, etc.), the unit navigates only with restrictions using some on-vehicle sensors (such as speed sensor or steering angle sensor). The unit offers the possibility to show in the split screen display the following Position » Fig. 32 on page 48 information about the current geographical po- sition of the vehicle and the satellite signal. Geographical longitude Geographical latitude elevation Number of received/available satellites To view the information on the longitude and latitude of the current vehicle position display requires the reception of GPS signals from at least three satel- lites. To view the elevation information of the current vehicle position display re- quires the reception of GPS signals from at least five satellites. Navigation data Navigation data source The navigation data is stored on an Original SD Card . In order to ensure the function of the navigation, the Original SD card, with the navigation data, must be inserted in the respective slot » page 25. If the original SD card should be damaged or lost, a new original SD card can be purchased from the ŠKODA Original Accessories. With a Non-original SD Card, the navigation does not work. Finding out the version of the navigation data ›Press in the Navigation menu the function key → Version information. Update navigation data We recommend that you update the navigation data on a regular basis (e.g. Due to newly developed roads and changed traffic signs etc.). The information on updating the navigation data is to be obtained from a ŠKODA partner or on the following ŠKODA Internet pages. http://infotainment.skoda-auto.com Main menu Fig. 31 Navigation: Home menu ›Press the button. The Navigation main menu opens » Fig. 31. If no map is displayed, then press the button again.

Unfortunately the resultant copy / paste does not exactly reproduce the manual and won't allow copying of Figs 31 & 32 but I trust you will get the idea.

Sat nav giving incorect info
"Where on the sat nav menu does it give a report on how many sats its receiving, I've missed that if it does" I sold my 2016 L&K last November and bought a new Volvo XC40 BUT I kept downloads of the Yeti Main and the Amundsen2 Infotainment Manual (for nostalgia's sake). Pages 47 & 48 of the Infotainment Manual have reference to Number of received / available satellites information. I'll cut and paste stuff to here if you don't have a manual yourself. Just ask.

I bought from them in September last year, just before deciding to sell my Yeti. Next day delivery, worked straight out of the (little) box.

I looked at two Skodas in a showroom today .... Karoq and Kamiq.
I bought an XC40 in November after 'doing the rounds' with likely candidates. (XC40 B4 Ultra). Quiet, comfortable, well spec'd. Yes, it was over £40k but agreed a competition beating trade on my Yeti. The Volvo clincher was their promotion at the time which was 50% deposit (covered by the trade and some spare cash) with the balance over three years at ZERO% interest. (Audi et al take note!) If you have set a £40k limit, why not try a dealer warranted pre-owned one and see what you think?

(Another) Goodbye to Yeti
I came within a final signature of buying a new Karoq Sportline (keeping the faith) but hesitated and went along the road and sat in the Volvo. Much more comfortable and suited to a pair of 75 year olds, who themselves are built more for comfort than for speed. I did look at a T-Roc, a Tiguan and a Q3. Might have been a coin toss between the Audi and the Volvo, if the same spec'd Audi was not silly money.

(Another) Goodbye to Yeti
After 58k miles from new (and with no sunroof leaks) we are changing our Yeti. Still polishes up like new and 52+ mpg cumulative on the spreadsheet. Super car, travelled all over the continent, no short journeys - we use our Fiat 500 for those. Sorry to say goodbye but 8+ years old...... About to take delivery of a new Volvo XC40 Mild Hybrid B4 Ultimate. Will keep reading here daily and will post opinions as we start putting on the miles. Kind regards to all.

Amundsen emergency update
So it ceased to work in 2019. Maybe it doesn't really bother you that much? As your radio also has not worked either, think 'back to source'. Undo the aerial and check for rust/water which might be the cause of no signal getting to the head unit. (or you could buy SWMBO a new car....think how many points you would score)

Amundsen emergency update
So, two SD memory cards, Amundsen2. Left Free Choice SD Card for Music & Images, Right Official Skoda Navigation SD Card (ref nos. like CW 45/2015 or CW 48/2019) Presumably you have had them working at some stage? Could the cards have been removed and inadvertently switched around ?

Some advice for L&K and Pano roof owners with a leak...
re windscreen My L&K had the cracked, heated windscreen replaced (Autoglass). It has original Pilkington glass in doors and tailgate and original VAG Automotive glass in both rear quarters. I cannot remember whether the original screen manufacturer was P or VAG but now it has a FUYAO. I remember querying the replacement with the fitter (thinking I was being subbed a cheaper replacement) but he reassured me that it was a better suited replacement for the original. Whether or not..........it doesn't leak but then neither did the original. However, a fingertip test around the black/clear border suggests 'embedded'. Certainly not surface mounted top of the screen shading as WAYNE TRACY back in the day.

Bumper colour
try searching < touch up paint for Skoda Yeti > in Google search. Various companies are listed and although ' search by reg no.' will only likely show main body colour, there are always 'contact us' options where, no doubt, they will be able to identify the silver bumper colour common to many of the the various body colours of the Yeti range.

Timing belt info from Skoda.
I'm going to stick to 50k/5 years, whichever is sooner, for cam belt, and water pump. Mind you, the new cam belts must have an 18ct gold internal core to make such a jump in life expectancy and a cost of £1800. My last belt, pump, tensioner and rollers in 2021 was £649 inc vat at Skoda main dealer, with 7 separately identified Skoda part numbers.

Bio Fuel, any thoughts re suitability
My 2016 Owners Manual (pages 162,163), under Diesel Fuel "The vehicle can only be operated with diesel fuel that meets the EN 590 standard" "All diesel engines can be operated using diesel fuel with at most 7% biodiesel (B7)" "The vehicle cannot be operated with biofuel RME, therefore this fuel must not be refuelled and driven"

Leaking Panoramic Roof - The Cause and the Cure
Not gloating, just saying..... My L&K has lived outside on our driveway since 2016 and there has never been any suggestion of water coming in. Carpets are regularly hoovered and remain dry, no damp in the boot well. Granted, the sunroof is generally closed but it is opened on occasions when driving and for its annual lube. But.......don't ask me about a mystery drip in the conservatory!

Rattle from front of yeti
Replacement anti-roll bar drop link cured my rattle/knocking. Garage said difficult to locate exact source of sound when driven, until car up on ramp and wheel (NSF) free to 'fiddle about'.

Advice Please - Affordable Diagnostic tool for adapting new DPF Sensor or just get garage to fix?
was it this warning light? I had this one recently. I note that you didn't actually see the fault codes. My codes were P13D600 Sensor for internal pressure of cylinder 3 implausible signal P67400 Cylinder 4 glow plug circuit P2B8300 Charge air cooler pump A over speed/air in system P16C600 Heater support pump dry running My long term Independent thought first two not unexpected at 52000 miles and third and fourth just gremlins as no issues found with coolant level, heating system etc etc. Replaced glow plugs 1,2,4 and replaced pressure sensor glow plug 3. Problem solved

Best Skoda ever?
I've relieved an untouched pension pot of a few pounds of excess weight and I've a 75th birthday imminent. I'm at the Love it or List it moment with my faultless Yeti but it is nearly eight years old (52K miles) and I'm perhaps seeking my last hurrah. The new 2024 Kodiak will be a bit too big in size and likely, in pounds. I'm tempted with a new Karoq Sportline with a few extras. Where does the Karoq score its 'down votes', apart from its lack of an individual look?

Adblue
If you can add salt or rinse-aid to your dishwasher, you can do your own AdBlue refills. My filler point is the boot floor and I use the big container/small container method (every 7000 miles or so). AdBlue is mildly corrosive. If you spill anything on the boot floor, clear it up immediately. The AdBlue pump at my local BP petrol station is in the HGV pumps area, so I guess it will discharge at a fair old rate - personally I would avoid it.

Would you risk buying an L&K ?
I have an L&K tdi manual 52k miles from new. Lives on my driveway in all weathers. Not a drip, ever. Regularly cleaned all over with a Karcher. Roof opened and closed regularly in the summer. Last couple of years, I've started to wash through the front drains with a jug of warm water every few months, just in case of any algae starting to gum up the pipes. Not all L&Ks are bad or even will-be-bad in the future. People are more likely to post bad news rather than good. Good luck with your onward search for an SEL but if you do find a dry L&K, it's a very good car (and I've read elsewhere that helicopter tape and fuses out does work).
