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.

I bought a pre-registered Yeti Outdoor 1.2 se Drive 17 reg. and picked it up October that year. It is a dsg. I have been very happy with it. Plenty of problems with dsg models according to the forum here, but maybe you'd be happy with a manual. My car has sat nav, heated seats and windscreen, climate, front and rear parking sensors, auto lights and wipers. If you can find a well looked after one and you don't need 4x4, I would heartily recommend it.

Hello. I drove a Subaru Forester XT auto from new in 2004 until 2017 when I sold it and bought a used VW Golf Estate 1.4tsi dsg. Primarily for economy. It was a late low milage car, big long boot, peppy engine, smooth to drive. After six months I traded it in for my Yeti. Visibility in the Golf was very poor generally, the interior mirror seemed to block out a huge chunk of windscreen, the car was too low and uncomfortable to get in and out of, and I couldn't go over the lowest kerb without scraping something. The cargo area, although long, had no height. The Yeti is so much better in all those respects. I did have a look at a Vitara in a showroom, but held off and went for the Yeti instead. After buying the Yeti and joining this forum I am now constantly worried about my dsg and clutches, and other reliability issues, and sometimes wish I had given the Vitara a bit more consideration, light doors and hard plastics and all. Only time will tell.

My experience was the same as paul's, same price and supplier, really quick delivery. I used the handle of a Boot's medicine spoon to release the clips on the blank plate for removal. The new case was a bit reluctant to clip in, but eventually in she went. Identical colour match! I'm going to use it for static caravan keys, so I always know exactly were they are when I visit it. And spare fuses. It'll soon fill up I suppose.

I bought one if the very last 2x4 Yetis, pre-registered July 2017. I think you have one of the last in a March 2017. I don't suppose you'd worry about the odd month. I love my Yeti. Buy it!

Morning LeMans. I've just read the DVLA document INF104. It says that AO is a Norwich registration, KV Northampton, OY Oxford. I think the letters are for area identification only, and do not tell you anything about who registered the car.

Ah ha! Nice one RickT, I'll try that.

Yes Urrell, that was my first course of action but it just wouldn't latch. I'm now worried about opening it again. It's as if the cable remained tight when the release lever was returned to its closed position, but without a second pair of eyes I just don't know.

Good afternoon. Having just checked the oil level and topped up the screenwash in my 2017 Yeti, I found that the bonnet wouldn't close and latch shut. It just sprang back up that inch or two. Tried pushing the release lever fully home, no indication that anything was moving. Can't see of course, just listening. Sprayed around the release mechanism with wd40, no change. Had a fiddle under the latch plate and managed to detach the release cable from the release mechanism. Won't do that again. Eventually got it seated back in its housing, and the bonnet is now latched. Has anyone else had trouble latching the bonnet, or any problems with the release lever?

Can't say I blame you! The rubber feet can come off and fall down the vent into the depths of who knows where. I re-glued mine with superglue. Recommendation withdrawn.

Kenu Airframe or Airframe+ from Amazon? Seems ok to me, but I only used it a short while before I got my current car with satnav, so don't need it anymore. Keep it just in case.
