TeeDeeEye

And thanks to Colin on helping me get a good PCH deal :-)

Been away for about 3 years but just ordered a 1.2tsi SE L Drive DSG silver on PCH from U.K. Stock. Previously had an Octavia, Roomster and Yeti. Got the Yeti as planning on a lot of touring around UK and Europe with Mrs TeeDeeEye and two small dogs. Previous 1.4 TSI SE Plus manual was brilliant but needed leather interior this time in the hope of keeping dog hair issues to a minimum.

Hi Andy, about 30-31 mpg according to Honest John Real MPG http://www.honestjohn.co.uk/realmpg/skoda/yeti-2009

vRS badges on a Yeti though.... really? it cheapens the car IMO (not to mention the vRS is actually a lower spec car than an Elegance - Yeti) Have to agree - why buy a brand new Yeti when you really want and can afford a vRS? First impression will be 'he bought a Yeti because he can't afford a vRS'

Yes it does, dont forget you also adjust the announcement volume. Regards K

I've got the standard Amundsen in my Yeti and the latest and greatest Nav in my Beemer. The Yeti works great and has very few minuses compared with the BMW and the Tom Tom I've got. Voice guidance works fine, works great with my iPhone 4s apart from the occasional connection issue fixed by re pairing. In many ways I prefer it to both the BMW and the Tomtom. You can't expect a sat nav to route as well as a human who knows the roads. Satnavs are there to get you to a destination when you don't know the way. You've probably got a duff unit, sure you'll be happy when they fix it. Regards K

I would leave well alone, very very useful and essential if you travel to the continent as I have just done.

1. Does it support CD text? Don't know why use CDs when you can use Bluetooth or SD card 2. Does it show song title when using bluetooth streaming from the iPhone? No A compatability list posted on this forum shows AVRCP supported for iPhone. 3. Can you skip tracks via AVRCP? Dont know Anyway it's a great unit, enjoy.

37mpg - I can't get close to that even if I drive like an undertaker. I got the same model and usually get about 29-30 mpg. Back to the iTunes suggestion, if you connect your iPhone or iPad via Bluetooth then you can play all your music, podcasts etc without worrying about transferring to the SD card. Regards K

I stand by my original advice. Understanding an electrical system and diagnosing a complicated or intermittant fault in one visit are not the same thing.

You might get this level of expertise from an auto electrical business. You can't expect a main dealer or Skoda garage to have the level of experise or knowledge you demand. Try Honest John for recommendations.

Please post the pics, sounds hilarious! Shame you don"t have a video as you'd get £250 quid from Youv'e been Framed

-1 calm down dear....this is a forum where people express their opinions - whoever they may be.

Thinking of getting an Apple iPhone 4s and wondering whether it will work well using Bluetooth with the Amundsen in my Yeti. Thanks

Just to say how pleased I am with the Yeti 1.4tsi SE plus I bought yesterday. Love everything about the car, can't say too much about the 1.4 yet as she's still running in as only done 800miles. Quality is on par with the A4 i used to have, the only minus is the plastic on the doors is a bit cheap and nasty but hey who is going to buy an Audi if the quality was identical. As I never drove the 1.2 can't compare with 1.4 but very pleased with the refinement, power and torque. Fuel consumption is not great but will hopefully improve as the engine frees up. For the time being my Italian exotica will stay in the garage as I'm enjoying the Yeti so much

And Libya

Thanks for your comments, definately going for the 1.4 TSI

I'm looking to buy a nearly new Yeti and decided on 1.4TSI with SE Plus spec. I don't want diesel or need four wheel drive and think the 1.4 is the best compromise between performance and economy. Should I be discounting the 1.2 from my list? The 1.8 could be an option but they only seem to be available in SE or Elegance spec. I would go for the Elegance but don't want leather and there isn't enough toys on the SE for me. Thanks

good point but my misses usually drives it, and it's sometimes near on impossible to select a gear.

99 T, 1.9TDI hatch SLX , 130K Full Skoda SH, needs new front tyres, new clutch, rear window & lock inop. Extras fitted are Blaupunkt DAB radio & Skoda cruise control. Bodywork getting a bit tatty but no rust. Good runner. Thinking of cutting my losses rather than gettting the clutch tyres done. Ken

on top of the gearbox?

all looks clear nothing in the way of the gear lever mechanism or the gearbox. both cables thro the bulkhead look ok. I suspect it might be the mechanism on the gear box but not sure how it should look normally. Thanks Ken

Thanks for the suggestions, I'll check :>) I did look last night but no hoses seemed to be in the way.
