Shivers

Thanks @Urrell and @muppix. Is this the correct digitiser to purchase? I'll watch the YouTube video and then see if I feel brave enough to replace it myself!

Hello, I have a 2017 SE Drive Yeti which has been perfect to date apart from issues with the infotainment system. The problem started about 20 months ago with part of the touchscreen not responding. The problem would seem to fix itself if I turned the system on and off but it's gradually got worse over time and now only a very small section on the left of the touchscreen works. The hands free still works for the phone but I can't really use the sat nav any more although I have this on the phone. The steering wheel controls are working although these have also failed once or twice. I dropped the car to Skoda this morning for a service and mentioned the issue. They suggested that it would be an expensive repair as the whole system would need replacing. I have read about similar problems in other posts and I wondered if anyone else had had similar issues and how they managed to resolve it. I asked Skoda they could do a software update today but they seemed reluctant. I'm looking to change the car this year (probably to a Karoq although I'm still really sad as I love the Yeti) so I need to get it resolved before I sell it. Thanks in advance.

I've just read that the varioflex seats only come with the SEL and upwards trims. Not that I've ever needed to remove the seats in my Yeti but it's still a nice to have option. I really like the interior of the SEL and the extra spec but I'm not sure my budget can stretch quite that far. I've not leased a car before but I might look at that as a possible option.

Thank you for all the helpful replies. Sorry that it's taken me so long to respond but I've been away. I recently had a test drive a Skoda Karoq 1.0 SE at my local dealership but it was very sluggish but then I tried another Skoda Karoq 1.0 SE Nav Plus at another dealership and it was a much smoother, enjoyable ride. I can definitely see the benefits of the larger space, better tech and improved safety so I just need to check how far the budget can stretch to. The higher spec Karoq models (SEL, Edition) are lovely but expensive so I am looking at either the Karoq SE or SE Nav Plus. I like having the in-built sat nav on my Yeti Urban although it's not as good as Apple maps. Does anyone have either model and have thoughts on whether the SE Nav Plus is worth the extra money? Thanks in advance.

I was tempted by the extra boot space of the Karoq but felt uninspired by the design and drive. It's such a shame that the Yeti has been discontinued. 😞

I agree. I know that the Yeti is not to everyone's taste. Most of my friends have questioned my choice of car but I find the car fits both urban and open road driving really well and has excellent space. I'll also have a look at the L&K model as well as the SE Drive. I have a feeling that I'd ruled out the L&K as I prefer cloth interior.

Thanks for your advice. I was disappointed with Karoq test drive which was a surprise. It just didn't feel as agile or as fun to drive as the Yeti.

We normally keep my cars for 7-10yrs. I test drove a Karoq at the weekend but didn't find it as nice to drive as the Yeti so it might be that we get a 17 plate Yeti this time and then think about moving over to an electric or hybrid when we come to change the car again.

Thank you! I didn't realise that the Karoq had so many more features on it. I have posted on both this forum and the Karoq forum and have had a great response with such helpful advice

Hello - We have a lovely Skoda Yeti Urban (2012) with 59,000 miles on the clock but I'm thinking about selling our Yeti and purchasing either a 2017 Yeti SE Drive (with its generous spec) or a newer Karoq model - probably the SE Technology or Sat Nav Plus. I was initially not keen on the new Karoq and Kodiaq (or any of the models across the VWG) as they seemed so much bigger. However, we do a lot of cycling and camping so the larger space is handy. Has anyone on this forum made the move from a Yeti to a Karoq and have you been happy with your choice?

Thanks for all the helpful advice. I have decided to purchase a new Yeti SE Drive using the 0% APR PCP deal after getting a great deal via one of the dealers listed on this website as the deal was better than those offered on Carwow. Now I've just got to decide between Quartz Grey and Business Grey.

I've just had a look at the Ateca but I think that is still too big so will stick with the Yeti.

I think you're right although some drivers will always opt for a new design vs. and old one. The initial reviews of the Karoq are good. Given the spec I would like, the best option seems to be the new SE Drive rather than the previous models. I only hesitate purchasing a new car because of the immediate value knocked off the car once it leaves the forecourt.
