Glad to have been of service! The seats aren't fully reclined (they're too laid back then, anyway, for normal sitting)
-
After being on my second Yeti and owning them for over 8 years, I have only just discovered a useful feature - when you remove the parcel shelf, it slots in behind the back seats!
-
My old 1.2tsi used to get mid 30s mpg, if I remember correctly. The 1.2 Octavia got mid to high 40s. My 2.0 diesel 4x4 Yeti averages out at low 40s.
-
Agree. Lane assist is really annoying, but not as annoying as the radar controlled cruise control that is also becoming standard!
-
Lovely! Good luck with the test drive. My old Yeti and Octavia were the 1.2tsi - cracking little engine.
-
Exactly. We replaced ours with a lovely specced up Octavia estate, which I promptly sold 18 months later to get another Yeti! The Octavia just had no personality (something only Yeti owners understand!)
-
Thats a beauty! We used to have a 12 plate Elegance. I was tossing up between an SE L Drive or L and K. The SE L seemed to be a direct replacement but went for the L and K as it had a few extras that made it an 'upgrade'.
-
Hmm. Does seem quite a faff! Shame, seems quite useful
-
I am thinking of getting the full height partition net for the back of my Yeti. Does it need to have special fittings in the roof fitted?
-
Same here. Ended up selling the Octavia and getting another Yeti!
-
Niro seems like it might be my replacement, too. Lovely car, but just lacks the personality of a Yeti. I think, though, every car does!
-
Picked up a same age and spec earlier in the year, but in quartz grey. Go to agree it's a great car! Previously has 12 Elegance model and really missed it when I sold it. I managed 2 years with a top spec Octavia estate but had to go back to the Yeti. There is nothing out there I would want to replace it with!
-
Something odd like condensation maybe?
-
Not sure how much help this will be, but I have used the same feet on my 12 Yeti, 66 Octavia estate and 66 Yeti
-
That sounds a great spec, very similar to mine. I was tempted by the Drive, but went for the L and K as I wanted the glass roof and park assist as well
-
I had a '12 Yeti, then a '66 Octavia estate. I went back to another Yeti as I missed it. Boot length is less but I find it quite usable with the middle seat down, and we have a roof box for the rare occasions we need Octavia size space
-
I've previously had a 1.2tsi petrol manual and recently got a 2.0tdi diesel 4x4 DSG. I would recommend either. If you're just going around town, pick petrol, but if you're planning on off road go diesel. It will be a while until diesel is killed off, but it seems to me that the uncertainty has meant the price of a diesel is a lot lower than a petrol.

Finally got around to getting this sorted! Using the option of Tiguan with a discover system and the maps work fine, with speed limits being correct
-
The latest ones on Skoda are a different file name. I had 2019 2020 already but the latest look different. I've downloaded them but not had a chance to install them yet
-
Downloading now!
-
All try the update later. Does the VW update work fine on Skoda?
-
On latest maps already. I can only think it is a setting for the different types of vehicles
-
My 66 L&K often shows two different speed limits, such as the 50 and 60 signs on a 60mph limit. I assumed this was to do with the using a trailer option in the nav settings, but this makes no difference if it is selected or not. I don't even have a tow bar! Does anybody know how to get it to show the correct speed for just a normal car?
-
Got a 66 L&K and seem to average 45mpg +
