  1. Hi there, My daughter wants to use my white Ye ti as her wedding car (great choice in my opinion) the issue is the black bumpers etc are looking a bit dull. Can anyone suggest a good product to revive them and make them look black and shiny.
  2. Just another thought, car is 5 years old in September, and only done 28000 miles, is it too risky not to change belt and pump?
  3. Hi, would it be bad etiquette to buy a timing belt kit and water pump, and ask a garage to fit it, along with a service and MOT.
  4. I was planning getting a bike carrier, and this one was recommended by a colleague, for carrying 2 electric bikes, anyone got any other suggestions. This is the main reason for getting the towbar. Also contemplating a micro caravan like a GO Pod or similar. Retirement looming
  5. I am planning getting a tow bar on my Yeti, and once again have come to the font of all knowledge that is this forum. Should I go for a fixed or a detachable option. Have any members got any preference and what are the pros and cons of both in your experience. As usual, any information gratefully received.
  6. Hi there, I am having issues with really heavy condensation on inside of windscreen, which takes an age to clear. There is no sign of water ingress or any dampness. Anybody had this problem, and found a solution for it. Any magic tricks to eliminate this happening.
  7. Thank you all for your replies and opinions, and I am now looking for a "full size" spare and floor kit. This one is at a sale price of £234 at the moment, is it worth considering. https://seat-skoda.caffynsparts.co.uk/parts/skoda-parts/skoda-yeti-2wd-spare-wheel-kit-including-false-floor/
  8. Does anyone know if this would fit my car? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/223772394695?_trkparms=aid=1110006&algo=HOMESPLICE.SIM&ao=1&asc=20131003132420&meid=bb822940b58444fcb183e6d3d440f5a9&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=12&mehot=pf&sd=232967410576&itm=223772394695&pmt=1&noa=0&pg=2047675&algv=SimplAMLv5PairwiseWebWithBBEV1Filter&_trksid=p2047675.c100005.m1851&autorefresh=true
  9. Hi I am looking to get a spare wheel for taking on longer journeys. Tyre size on car is 225/50-17 but I think a "full" size spare is 205/60-16. Is this correct and would a 16" space saver be compatable or would it need to be a 17" Confused.com
  10. Hi everybody, thanks for the relevant replies, but I think we are going a wee bit off topic here. Can anyone give me pros and cons of manual or DSG 1.2 SE L, or should I just stick with what I have. I really appreciate the depth of knowledge and expertise in this forum, with me not being so mechanically/technically minded.
  11. Hi I don't do high mileage anymore so thinking of changing from 2.0L diesel to 1.2L TSi SE L, don't know much about either the manual or the DSG versions and would welcome the usual helpful opinions and expertise please. I to have not found anything I would want to replace my Yeti with.
  12. Hi its been a while, what are the thoughts on non- dealer service. My Yeti is now out of warranty and due a service and MOT. Cost from Thomson and Potter in Perth is £304 for service and £39 for MOT plus cost of fuel from Fort William to Perth. Local garage who have the mechanics from the VAG dealership which closed down quote £284 for Service and MOT and 3 miles from my house. Their price for Air Filter and Fuel Filter are quite a bit cheaper than Skoda. I usually use the dealers but might go with the local guy this time.
  13. Thanks for all the replies regarding breakdown/recovery has anyone extended Skoda warranty or taken out an independent warranty instead, plan to keep the Yeti for a couple of years.(unless something else comes up with the appeal of the Yeti) So for peace of mind would probably extend the warranty.
  14. My Yeti is almost 3 years old and will be out of warranty and Skoda Roadside assistance, is it worth extending with Skoda or getting independent warranty and joining AA or such like.
  15. Fitted dash cam at the weekend hardwired to fuse box managed to route cable without removing A pillar trim and piggy backed fuse to rear wiper. Works a treat.
