Thanks Austin 7 When I had the wheel off last night I had a go at the carrier bolts and the two on the driver side loosened off fairly easily. I’ve done a fair few pad and disc changes to VW cars and I had an original Yeti 170hp when they first came out and did an all round disc & pad change on it.

Thanks Carlston, appreciated. I took a wheel off tonight and measured them to about the 272 or thereabouts but your information lets me get the discs and pads ordered.

I’m going to change my rear discs and pads but I’m not sure what size I need as Auto Doc is showing up a few different sizes. Yeti 2017 1.4 tsi 4x4 I’ve checked the build data sticker in the boot but that wasn’t much help as it was so faded. Can anyone advise?

Thanks, great information. I’ve never used mine off-road but where I live I’d be cut off at certain times due to snow if I didn’t have a set of winter tyres, I’ve just got to the stage I can’t be bothered changing over the wheels twice a year 🤦‍♂️. I was looking at Hankook or Kumho all seasons but I really like the look of your steel rims and the more aggressive looking tread on the Yeti. I’m thinking for the addition £350 odd I could have another set of rims. I can store the original rims with all the other sets I’ve accumulated 🤷‍♂️

Thanks for the link for the supplier. How are you finding the new wheels/ tyres, I assume the ride might be improved given the bigger sidewall? How are they in the dry? I noticed they are M&S rated but they then state they are true all season tyres tyres? I’m slightly concerned the wear rate once temperatures begin to rise.

Good point regarding the insurance and helpful to know that the speedo is accurate. I’ll have a look online for wheel and tyre suppliers and pricing.

Excellent YouTube videos. Love the wheel and tyre combination, I was thinking about putting all season tyres on the standard rims but I’m now thinking what you have fitted looks better. Has the change in size affected the Speedo reading ( save me doing the calculation)?😀

@Carlston thanks that’s helpful .

@Breezy_Pete Thanks, appreciate you getting that information for me.

Sorry can’t edit. it appears there are 3 disc sizes, 280 , 288 or 302. I assume it’s either 280 or 288, any advise? I’ve checked through the guides on Briskoda but can’t find the information.

Decided my front pads need changed, I’ve had the wheels off and the discs are still excellent and although there is still a decent amount left on the pads I’d rather change them now. it’s something I can do myself but when I looked at pad options it appears there are two options relating to the disc size, 280 or 302, I never measured the disc when the wheel was off. The Yeti is 1.4tsi L&K 4x4. Can anyone advise the front disc size and recommend a decent pad, I’m thinking perhaps Pagid or Bosch? thanks.

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?
