I'm trying to respond to some poor schmuck who sees high oil temps on his BMW. I told him to upgrade to a Skoda.... (not true).

I have studied the Yeti workshop manual. The combined oil level and temperature sensor is screwed into the bottom of the sump. DFSB is my engine code. I'd love to know when a high temperature condition is triggered. Is the sender digital (ie on/off) or analogue?

Where the oil from the cooler is piped into the engine! There is normally a gallery that carries oil to the crankshaft bearings and up to the camshaft bearings. But I want to see it on a schematic.

Does anyone know where, in the circuit, the engine oil temperature sensor is? Is it on the inlet to the engine or is it in the sump? At what temp does it trigger an alarm? Similarly, when does the DSG gearbox temperature alarm activate and is it measuring the temp in the box or after the cooler?

@langers2k Thanks. I have a 3-VIN license and have used one. If I buy a 10-VIN upgrade I would have 9 VINS available. PayPal will debit me £132 at today's rate. That's £14.67 per VIN. I've added my details to the VCSD thread.

I suppose I could offer help in exchange for a contribution to upgrading.

So, if I offer to help a stranger I lose one VIN? How are so many volunteering to code other members cars?

@Urrell Did you also make a guide for the fuses under the bonnet? 😜

They are both mentioned in the manual. It was a Skoda-branded umbrella under the passenger seat - quite a short thing - only 25cm. The high-viz jacket was under the driver's seat. Thanks for the photo. I'll buy another tool to go there but will keep the one I have with the spare fuses.

@Urrell do you mean the large D-shaped cover, or does yours have another cover on the fusebox itself? On my ex-demo the vest, umbrella and a few bits were missing.

I made this guide for my wife after the windows and central locking stopped working. I hope others find it useful. Yeti-fuse-box-diagrams.pdf

I had to destroy the old boot catch/switch to get the microswitch out. It was just stuck down but works OK. The one from eBay is fitted and everything is now dandy.

Well, it works! The very latest, all-Europe maps* will fit on the standard Skoda 16GB card despite the note saying that it requires the 32GB one. *ECEA1 2020/2021 Unzip the download on your computer before sending to the SD Card, it's much, much quicker.

The wiring harness was fine. So I took the release button off and found it was shorted. A new switch is over £100! I found one on eBay for £24. Let's hope that fixes it but testing with a paper clip in place of the switch works correctly.

All of a sudden the boot lock is acting up. Every time it is closed it locks and can't be opened with the boot catch. Central locking button on the fob does not unlock it. The boot unlock button on the fob partly unlocks it but the boot can only be opened half-an-inch. Partial solution. If I hold the boot unlock button down on the fob, then I can open the boot with the catch on the boot. They have to be operated together. My wife's fob does the same. It seems like a logic issue???

I just checked three 16Gb SD's and their useable capacity is 14.3Gb!

Thanks @Kenai It will be a tight fit as a "16Gb" card holds 16,000,000,000 bits, which is closer to 14 proper Gb. (It's 16 - 6.8% or 14.9 less some used for the file system).

I've really no intention of travelling abroad but I want to see if I can fit the 13Gb (zip) on my 16gb Skoda SD card. There are folders for SEAT and VW that can probably be deleted and what I think are language files with 100's of megabytes. I wonder how large it is unzipped?
