... The Cross Climates are good in the snow. I've had them on 5 cars. Will see how the Vredesteins are on my 4x4 Yeti.😀

I've been a Michelin Cross Climate fan for years, but decided to save some money this time, having watched the latest YouTube 'Tyre Reviews' video of all season tyres. The Vredestein Quatrac Pro + came second ahead of pricier rivals. They were £91 each from Camskill (plus carriage and local fitting), so £115 each all in, compared with £154 the best fitted price I could find near me for Cross Climate 3s. So £150 cheaper a set for very good tyres. So far so good. Will report back. Anyone else using them?

Several passengers, all on their phones. Not even noticed.😆

I've just unticked the box on the settings menu that displays the clock as I always use the M FD clock.

Sorry, where is the file on here ?

I like that interior option on the right. It seems retro-modern , which I like !

I do like the look of the Epiq, and might finally be a move for us from our late model Yeti. identical length to the Yeti, and chunky looking in a much more modern way. There are a couple of options in Europe that we don't seem to be getting though: 1) Lounge interior with brown faux leather and creme cloth, that looks premium. 2)Electric front seats

I know that my old Audi A2s had a plastic coolant 'pipe of death' in front of the bulkhead that would crack over time and leak, but that was not clear coolant ! If it's not air con condensed water, I'm sticking with the washer fluid idea 😁

My only other ideas are - 1) Blocked holes in the plastic cover that sits under the front wiper arms, ahead of the base of the windscreen. 2) Washer bottle or a pipe from it has sprung a leak. That makes more sense as OSF / FOS

The Epiq is a similar size. Decent boot, good value, quick enough, good range. Might have a look later in the year at the bigger battery one.

Yes,I think it could be a 'regretted selling' move for us. Might wait until the mileage is higher (it's 74k) or if the DPF/EGR show signs of playing up. The only car that might appeal is a used Audi Q4 e-tron (4x4 model), but they're still too much for us.

We love Yetis - we've had 7 or 8 between us since 2011. But, we were talking about whether it's getting to the right time after the winter to sell while the car is still popular. I'm torn - it's diesel, 4x4 and DSG and the last of the line. I took a 5 hour train trip to buy it. I guess as there is nothing obvious we would want to replace it with -maybe a medium size EV - we will keep it !? Any thoughts ?

Other than alloy wheel corrosion requiring scrubbing the wheel and resealing, which normally gives a slow puncture effect ! I've had that on a few older Subarus.

Maybe an ABS wheel sensor. Not expensive.

I am certain that Skoda will use the name again for an SUV in the future. As it might be several years away and it probably won't be anything like the original, apart from the concept, I would enjoy your Yeti. If you have the 150ps 2.0 diesel, it's got 300,000 miles in it - so that should do for 20 years more 🙏

I pressed and held down all four window switches the other day when I put the dog in the car from the kennels. I don't know if I've over-strained something by holding the driver's button down for 2 seconds too long, because there's a feint tapping noise now and the auto function has stopped. Do I just try the 5 second reset trick or have I knackered something?

That's a decent price for diamond cut. I would stick to that as the shiny highlights make a huge difference to the look of the wheel. All black or all silver are bland by comparison. We put winter wheels on our Yeti last year and went back to Matterhorns with all seasons - a huge difference to the looks.

We went from one Yeti to another and I reckon it's about a 15 cms height loss. Is it worth stripping the polystyrene blocks out either side of the wheel well and then visualise it you could get a plywood board cut to fit under the boot carpet? Maybe put a sheet of high density foam below it? I think it's a case of how you support the floor above the wheel well. Good luck !

As has been said above, you are probably as well to go to a reputable Audi VW SEAT Skoda specialist. We have an Audi and a Yeti and 'mine' does services for both and updates the online Skoda service record. They are far more competent and flexible that the 'shower' that operate nearest Audi dealer. Which part of the country are you ?

It doesn't feel right - it should be more money, but that's just a gut feeling based on having bought a lot of cars! The horn not working is an odd one - has it been in an undeclared / not claimed bump in the past, as they don't normally fail unless something has caused it to fail.

Hi, it looks too cheap for the mileage + year compared with other available cars?

... Er, it will be a 1.4 if it's 2016 ?

I had a 1.8 TSi which was quick and reliable, but there have been problems with that engine as it has aged. Not heard anything bad about the 1.4 (2016) - there are / were a couple of 1.4 L&K owners on here. Should be sprightly (same 150bhp as the old 1.8) and easy to drive. Manual only.

Depends how much you want to pay and how long you are planning on keeping the car? If you want high quality OEM standard but not Skoda OEM, I can recommend: Shocks - Bilstein Brakes - Pagid or Febi Bilstein They both have on line catalogues. Normally I get the part numbers then scour eBay for identical at a discount. Just bought new Audi brakes this way - the dealer wanted £1400. I paid £440 same quality fitted at a really good specialist.
