I took it to a local garage today that wasn't a chain. They said that the drive shaft needs replacing, and a dogbone that holds the gearbox in place. Parts are on order, I'll know next week 100% if they are right. Thanks for all of the suggestions. Andy

I did notice these weights in the wheels, and I think I noticed one missing. So I'm guessing that if one is loose, then it might make a noise, would they not be under centrifugal force whilst spinning, holding them in place? Thanks

No advisories on the last MOT. When they changed the tyres they all came off at the same time, so it is possible that the wheels didn't go on in the same positions.

Interesting, we to take it into car parks around the surrey hills, it is possible, I'll mention it to the next place I go, would that not be an issue when breaking rather than accelerating. I'm guessing there will be some indentation on the disc where the flint rubbed?

Yeah, my next job will be to take it to the place I get the MOT done, I took the Yeti to a different KwikFit before for it's service and MOT, and I kept getting Oil Service warning lights, took it to KwikFit they reset it, two weeks later it was back, took it to the local(ish) garage, they had a look, reset the service light properly and it's been good since. Every time I go to KwikFit I like them a little less, but I also like not having to leave the car at the garage for a whole day.

Thanks Parkesie, I did notice something resembling weights in the wheels when I was cleaning them once, and something that resembled glue where one might have been, I'll read up on this. Yeah, they are all tight, they checked that at the garage, I watched them try to wobble the wheels

Hi All I've got an odd one at the moment, I was wondering if anyone has encountered it before. Got my Yeti in 2019, all was fine. Last August, I got a nail in my rear left tyre, I took it to get fixed at a tyre shop (tyrecity), they did a repair and stuck it back on. Following that there appeared to be a knocking / rattling noise that came from the wheel when turning right. I had a look at my tyres, they were getting a bit cracked, so I decided to replace them all. I took the car to a different place (KwikFit) and got four Goodyear Effgripper2s. I mentioned the knocking noise as I handed the car over, they guy took a look as he was changing them, and said that the other tyre shop had "Loaded the tyre wrong after the repair" The knocking noise went away, so I assumed he knew what he was talking about, although I'd imagine loading a tyre is just bunging a load of air in it, though there might be more to it than that. Anyway, it was fine for several months, but now the knocking noise has returned, this time from the front, mainly when accelerating and turning right, occasionally accelerating and turning left. Never when breaking and turning, or turning without applying power. I took it to the KwikFit where I got the tyres from, and said what the previous guy said about Loading the tyre, they looked baffled. They checked the suspension, joints, springs, shafts, everything, and basically said, sorry, can't help you. I asked again about this loading thing, and they said they had no idea what it meant. So my question it, has anyone had this before? I must admit, was never a thing on any of my previous cars. I have seen on other forums that it might be the CV joint, but they inspected that and said it was fine. I've got the 1.2 Turbo 2016 model if that helps Thanks Andy

Hi, I'm going to sound a little bit sad here, but what the hell... Does anyone else wave at other Yeti's when driving around... and get disappointed when none of them wave back? We had an hours drive yesterday from Sutton to the Surrey Hills near Guildford and came up with a new game: guess the colour of the next Yeti. We came across 12 en-route, I got two right, the wife got one. Any other Yeti games? A

Hi I've had my Yeti for a little over a year now. I love driving it, it's a superb car. I do have one small gripe with it. I have a load of music which I put onto an SD card that lives in the slot on the Columbus Stereo. Once in a while when I start the engine up, rather that resuming where it left off, it goes to there first (alphabetically) track on the card. This has lead to me having a real hatred for Donna by 10CC Am I alone in having this issue? Anyway around it? Thanks Andy

Here is mine, 1.2 TSI. Best car I've ever owned.

We had a similar issue with the Coloumbus in our Yeti. It started when my with was washing her hands with alcohol gel and some of it splashed onto the screen. Fixed it in the end by using the corner of one of those blister packets Paracetemol comes in to clean under the bezel around the edge of the stereo. A fair bit of dust came out, must have dislodged whatever liquid caused the button to think it was being pressed.
