My original yeti was a diesel and it had an annoying rattle from around the engine bulkhead definitely not a knock though, turned out it was the metal pipes that ran across there from the servo. The clips installed from manufacture wasn’t enough so I packed them with foam sections. I put a post and pictures on here that was probably 2012 right enough.

Thank you xman, that’s really appreciated. I’ve bought hundreds of filters over the years for all sorts of machines and this one had me confused. I get quite a bit of parts from Autodoc and they show both the Mann filters pictured as being compatible. I’ll go with the top one.

Some of the Ridex filters are showing the filter to have smaller protruding male part on the casing?

I have now covered about 8k miles since I got the L&K last year and I’d like to do an oil change myself on the car before it’s actually due a service. Can anyone give me the part number for the oil filter and recommend a filter manufacturer, is it really necessary for a VAG filter? Bosch 501440627 is coming up in a search but I’ve seen pictures online of a different type filter? I assume the filter is front right low on this engine and the engine tray has to be removed? Thanks

I took the chance. Having had a 170hp Yeti before I was looking for a petrol 4x4 manual this time so choice was pretty sparse for anything low mileage. I waited for a good few months before an 18k mile full service history L&K came up this time last year. After a few months I did notice a very small amount of water in the passenger footwell when I washed the car, I cleaned all the roof channels out and used an airline to blow out the drain pipes and that cured the issue, zero water ingress now even right through the winter. I know it’s not really recommended to blow out the drain pipes but thought it was worth taking the chance and it definitely worked for me. Very happy with the L&K.

Update went back to it and it seems to be working correctly.

Locks all the doors at the same time as I close the boot. It also does the same if I open a door and then close it.

I bought another one, a 1.4L&K 4x4 this time, much quieter than my previous 170hp diesel Yeti. What is really annoying me is the auto locking, eg I unlock the car and go into the boot, close the boot to get into the car but it auto locks. I don’t remember my previous one doing this and I ca find an opt to disable it?

Well I’m now on my second Yeti so I’m going to include my first one. In order. Mercedes W123 230ce Subaru Impreza RB5 Skoda Yeti 170 Elegance

I noticed a small area of blistering on the bottom of the drivers door that I assume is zinc inclusion. I was fortunate that my pre Yeti didn’t suffer from this. Whats the best way to treat it before it gets worse? Is it a manufacturer issue and dealt with by the dealer under the paint warranty?

No idea what has happened to my previous log in, retired probably😂

Been a while! I almost immediately regretted selling my Yeti, much as the other cars were nice in their own way they were just cars🤷‍♂️ I actually nearly bought a Suzuki Jimny but much as I liked the quirkiness I knew I'd soon get tired of its lack of motorway speed. I'm really enjoying this Yeti and the petrol engine is so quiet compared to my previous diesel Yeti. Great going back through the forum too seeing all the old familiar names, the knowledge and information on it always was top-notch.

Hi all. I'm back, previous member on here as Servicepoint (May 2011) when I had my original from new 2011 Muscovado 170 4x4. I always regretted selling Trek my Yeti despite having some nice cars since, ABMW coupe, a Cupra and an Audi but I always hankered for another one. My search seemed endless trying to get the right car with a low enough mileage but last week I eventually found one for sale in Scarborough, I placed my deposit within 2 hours of the car becoming available. Now happy to be the owner of my second Yeti, a 1.4 petrol L&K 4x4 in Jungle Green ( never thought I'd ever have a green car), the low mileage of 19k miles, full service history and extensive maintenance work carried out by the one previous owner made the colour a minor issue. I'm actually growing to like the Jungle Green and surprisingly in some light not too different from my Muscovado 170.
