  1. Thanks, I will try turning that adjustment screw and see what happens.πŸ‘
  2. Can the fog lights be adjusted? MOT report states that both are too low. 2012 Yeti.
  3. I also have the BGS kit. As long as you can verify the tool is made up of two parts, it will be possible to dismantle. I always go for a bigger hammer if nothing happens 😁😁
  4. Yes, to free the XZN-bit I just tapped it out. And you can use your bench vice to put it back in. Never mind torque. Just pull till your arms achesπŸ˜†
  5. Due to lack of space under my Yeti, I dismantled the 14mm XZN socket and used a long 14mm Gearwrench tool. No fuzz at all, and you can do all the work without staying under your car.
  6. Looking for installation manuals for Webasto parking heaters? This site lists these manuals for a lot of brands: http://mmc-manuals.ru/all_webasto/install/cars/
  7. I had the Yeti treated with Noxudol when it was new, and was in for the complete Mercasol antirust treatment. It takes away some of the road noise.
  8. Have a look at Nokian WR D4
  9. AwaoffSki: Responding to a question raised here. Just sharing my experience from driving in the worst (winter)weather conditions you can have here in Norway. But conditions as you describe are difficult to handle, and demands the use of washer fluids -and lots of it. I tend to use fluids not too concentrated, this is bad for the paint. But never use fluids dilluted to freezing temp over -10C for summer use and -15C for winter use in my area. Moutain crossing in the winter: at least -25C. Don't bother trying to keep the rear windscreen clean, always seems to collect some oily smear the wiper won't cope with. Nice pics BTW
  10. You may try to block the cabin mirror for a while. By this, you will learn to use and trust you wingmirrors. And a filthy rear windscreen won't bother you anymore
  11. Depends on wind speed and own speed. The higher wind speed across the windscreen the higher cabin temp is possible. But quite often you are standing at a safe area for the convoy to build up. This is the time for you to lower the cabin temp and, as you say, let the snow bounce off. When the convoy start moving the windscreen must be dry and cold. Even the wipers must be dry, and never attempt to use the windscreen cleaner. This will only wet the windscreen surface and make the snow stick. If outside temp is not too low, one could go the other way round by producing maximum heat towards the windcreen. This will, if you are lucky, melt the snow continuosly. You may find you have to use large amounts of windscreen cleaner which should be rated at least -20C. But if this method fails during your drive through the snowdrifts, then you are in deep sh**. Always remember warm clothes.
  12. To avoid snow to stick to my windscreen, in very cold weather with drifting snow, I reduce the temperature in the cabin. Use this method when crossing the moutains, often in convoys, when stopping is absolutely not recommended.
  13. If you are a pipesmoker you may have some pipecleaners available. Made the trick last time this happened with the Yeti.
  14. Read it as "Ignition ON"
