Hello Aakayamy, I live in Helensburgh, and would like help fitting/adapting a new battery in my 2017 1.2 Yeti DSG Stop-Start. Thanks, PeterKN

I bought these for £3.49 from a well known online auction/ buy it now site. "Pair of Bosch Aero Wiper Blade Rubber Refills Fits AP24U Wiper - Cut To Size" I watched a Youtube video on how to fit, and got them in ok, so far so good. I used the leftover strips as packing to fix two leaky gutter unions on my shed. Result!

Morning all, drove 100 miles home in torrential rain yesterday, including through some floods. None of the floods were beyond most cars, just a few pulled over with problems. On a couple of occasions I suffered bad clutch judder just after, both in full automatic and in manual mode. Does anyone else have experience of this, and most importantly, any nasty consequences?

I've been keeping a rolling fill-to-fill mpg record on an Excel type spreadsheet since taking delivery of my brand new car, 1.2 DSG, in October 2017. 13,931 miles gives average of 40.09. Best is 43.87, worst 32.53. Worst was during a house move phase, lots of one mile runs with with a further half mile going round the block through multiple traffic lights looking for somewhere to park, so not as bad as it sounds. In summertime, as noted in other posts, I get better figures than in winter. I've had good figures after a rare fill of Shell V-Power, also bad figures on V-Power, so I'd say weather and type of running is more important than octane. My average is slowly edging up as the engine runs in, but only by 1.5mpg so far. I'm very happy with the mpg, good for a tallish brick shaped car with easy access and egress, and good visibility, and the convenience of DSG.

Me too. Love it.

It is a blue Skoda diesel, 1968cc, SORN in place, MOT until 5th. October 2019, first registered Feb 2015, co2 154g/km.

Or turn the key, then push in the knob to turn? Just from memory.

Should you push the knob in to turn?

My 2017 1.2tsi dsg se drive gives me 40mpg over 11,000 miles. A lot of that has been a frequent five mile return trip to the shops. A longer run a few mpg more. The "se drive" bit gives me parking sensors front and rear, heated seats, heated windscreen, auto lights and wipers, satnav, Amundsen, climate, 17" alloys, can't remember if anything else. I heartily recommend.

Thanks for that Expatman, those are maybe the first reassuring words I've heard on the DQ200! I do like it to drive.

Keep the Yeti until you can change comfortably. It is hardly depreciating at all now, you've got as close as you'll ever get to free motoring, so enjoy it while it lasts.

Well Ken, that was a good think you had, makes perfect sense to me. One less thing for me to wonder about. Thanks to Urrell too!

I'm getting the multiple speed limits now, no ideas why.

I did try Waze on one journey but as I live in an area with non existant or patchy phone signal it didn't work for me. So I just settle for the built in, with all its faults as it works everywhere.

I don't think a satnav can accurately predict an arrival time at the start of a journey as it can't anticipate the changing conditions you'll meet along the way. I suppose they start with a best case estimate, then adjust along the route.
