I used a piggy back fuse to the rear wiper to power a USB box in the dash storage box. The camera is wired under the dash, around the screen and roof trim to my dash cam. The box also powers my Galaxy S6 which sits in a Brodit mount the centre of the dash above the central vents. There a thread on here somewhere about how to do this.

I just use the paddles, but I did fit a vRs steering wheel. This is my third DSG car, not having paddles wasn't an option for me, hence the change.

These have been used on several of my VAG cars, I've had them refurbed and fitted with Nexen Winguard tyres, which are very good. They were on my Scirocco with Michelin Alpins.

The 16 & 17in wheels have very similar rolling radius with the standard tyres, this spare kit will be fine as its supplied on 4x4 models with 16 & 17in tyres.

The Skoda techs took 8 hours to refit the EGR due to the 4WD setup, fortunately it was covered under warranty.

Sounds like it might be EGR, it's what happened on my previous Yeti.

I'll go back over the logs from my last Yeti and check what the settings were.

You need VCDS to do it.

The EGR failed on my 2010 Yeti when it was 3 years old, the Skoda tech said they had seen a number on the 2.0 CR Diesel engines around 3-4 years old. I found out afterwards I could code the EGR out of the system by setting the level to 0%, this would effectively ignore the EGR in the ecu, which is not a bad thing.

Mileage is between mid 40s to low 50s depending on route.Paddles get used on spirited cross country drives (I live in deepest Suffolk) so quite regularly, and on motorways when I need to pass quickly.

I've got the brake upgrade, remap and flappy paddle mfsw, but I've never felt the need for further sound proofing.

£185 for the first service on mine from Robinsons in Norwich.

I used Pagid discs and pads when I upraded a few weeks ago,the pads are pretty good. I've used them on most of my VAG cars in the past.

I agree, if there is the car with higher output available its a better choice, but I'd still have remapped the 170.I went with the previous model 140 DSG and remapped it as there wasn't a DSG 170 available. Now it has the 312mm brakes it feels fully sorted.

Or remap the 140.

I retro fitted a vRs wheel with paddles, I coded the paddles with VDCS in 2 minutes. Just take care removing the airbag, remove the battery beforehand. It's worthwhile of you like overriding the DSG, as I do on odd occasions.

I bought an old set of Audi RS4 9 spoke 17" alloys from ebay for my winter tyres. There are lots about and pretty cheap.

You should always declare modifications or the insurer may refuse to cover a claim.

Revo have maps for the 110, 140 and 170.

Yes they do, the ecu sends a specified amount of fuel per cycle which is how the mpg is calculated, the tuning box then sends a different amont, so the maths never add up.

True but they've worked out with with a couple of other tuners how to circumvent the ecu security.

Both Revo and CMD have now issued maps which can be flashed through the OBD2 port, previously the ecu had to be removed and opened to turn the encryption off. So the dual channel tuning box has gone to a friend in France for their 110 Yeti. Much smoother and a more realistic fuel consumption figure.

They don't cause bulb out warnings, I've used them on both my Yetis.

I fitted my Yeti strut this morning, it took all of 15 minutes, excellent fit, all I had to adjust was the foam bumper, trimmed so the strut rests on it. Excellent piece of kit and simple instructions.

Have they all been posted out yet?
