I have done it after touching (not swiping) the '>' to the right of the destination name. Most of the time this brings up a menu that includes an 'Edit' option. Touch 'Edit' and the 'Delete' option appears. I say "most of the time" because sometimes it does not seem to work. I have not yet worked out why. Not a swipe anywhere. I found the following after searching my computer for an old copy of the Owners Manual. I had misread the significance of '>' in the third bullet point, Tom

Hover and swipe did not work. I then tried setting up another destination with the same name. The system allowed me to do it. So now I have two different destinations with the same name and I cannot delete either. tom

As Hamlet said ... "ay there's the rub" tom

Sorry to resurrect an old topic BUT what is the knack? The last SD card satnav update (Mib 2) appears to have scrambled some of my destinations. I am trying to delete them in order to reinstate new correct ones using the same names. What else can I try? So far tries have been: Light touch, swipe left on just the destination name. Light touch, swipe left starting on the arrow triangle on the right of the destination name. As per the above two but with a heavier touch Start the swipe away from the screen and just touching down to continue the swipe. Nothing has worked. All attempts have just taken me to the Route guidance. Will setting a new destination and giving it the same name over write the 'old' data. I have not tried that yet although it doesn't answer the problem I am having with deletion. Any thoughts will be most welcome. Tom

Different specs for Slovakia? tom

6 years and 26,000 miles

The problem with modern cars is that the battery is only charging under certain circumstances, most commonly on overrun. The alternator will not be making power all the time, only when the system allows it. With the system not permanently producing power short journeys may not, therefore, put enough charge into the battery. I mainly do short journeys and stop/start rarely activates. I needed to do a longer journey last week and for a short period the start/stop began working again. I don't worry about it. tom

I wrote this a couple of years ago (Jan 2023). "Regens are made by extra diesel being injected into the engine. If these regens don't burn off this diesel then it runs down the bores into the engine thus diluting and raising the oil level. Not good. If this has happened you will also need an oil change. If a regen is occurring and you turn off the engine before it has finished the engine will be hot and often the cooling fan will remain running. After "the fix" my 2010 diesel Yeti did this regularly. I would then immediately restart and go for a decent 60/70 mph drive alternating between 3rd or 4th gear, not top gear, in order to burn off this extra diesel and complete the regeneration. Modern diesels are not designed for too many regular short journeys. This was the reason that when my driving pattern changed I got rid of my Yeti and bought a petrol Karoq. I am currently only doing around 5000 miles a year." Tom

I like my Karoq and I would add quieter to the above.....but I miss my Yeti for its character. To me it was a mini 2wd G-Wagon. The perfect car would be Karoq technology in a Yeti . tom

Raised oil level is caused by an incomplete/failed Diesel Particulate Filter regeneration or a blocked DPF. During regeneration extra diesel is pumped into the cylinders to raise the combustion temperature and burn off the ash in the DPF. If the engine is stopped before the regen is complete the extra diesel runs past the pistons and into the sump thus raising the oil level. This is a well known problem with modern diesels that do a lot of short journeys. If the DPF is blocked this extra diesel goes into the sump via the combustion chambers again raising the sump oil level. BEWARE. If the oil gets too high it is possible for the engine to run on its sump oil alone and be unstoppable, till eventually it blows up. I am surprised when you say "The dealer does not know what the problem is, there is not a single error and according to the parameters, everything works fine". See my first paragraph above. Over the years there has been a lot of discussion on this subject on this forum and on other sites. A typical example: https://www.honestjohn.co.uk/askhj/answer/160786/mechanic-says-the-oil-level-is-high-due-to-diesel-in-the-oil-sump-from-stopping-dpf-cycle-is-this When I was looking to change cars a few years ago (from a diesel Yeti) I went into a Land Rover dealer looking at a new diesel Discovery Sport. I already knew about this type of problem with diesels. It did not stop me being surprised when the salesman said I would need to do a journey of 25 miles at least once a week. Wow! an honest salesman. tom

Try LV tom

I like Eco because it softens the throttle response. Suits my 'old man' driving style. tom

This is the difference between Manual and DSG. Not impossible to stall a DSG. I have been in an automatic (torque converter) that was stalled by a colleague. To this day I have no idea how he did it. tom

I would be wary of anything from Amazon, too many fakes and unknown makes. I recently bought a belkin usb-c to usb-a from Argos (and in stock at my local store). It worked no problem with my MacBook and a very old Garmin Satnav. Not tried it in the car yet. Advantage is it is a known make and if I have a problem it is easy to take back. 937/7806 Belkin USB-A to USB-C 3.0 Adapter - Black Quantity 1 £12.99 tom

Local dent repair operatives can refurbish this type of plastic, don't know how the cost compares to buying new. tom

Some did this in the very early days of the Yeti (going from 17" to 16" wheels). They bypassed the dealer going direct to Skoda UK asking them to amend the build spec. Needless to say Skoda stopped it after a short while. There was some discussion on the Yeti Forum. There is nothing to stop you asking Skoda UK although I wouldn't get your hopes up. tom

This is the "Mit Silicate" problem (Feb 2023).

When the engine goes into coasting mode the revs drop to tickover and there is no engine braking. It should be obvious if when going downhill you lift off the throttle. tom

My 2018 SeL with the DQ200 DSG has done this from day 1. This has been discussed before, albeit quite some time ago the problem is finding the right search term to find the thread.. The conclusion at the time was that they all did it. It is the dash display that is wrong showing Eco. The display between the dials showing D1 D2 etc is what is happening. Test it per what EnterName said. tom .

My MY2018 does not have the silkat bag. tom

A couple of points. On the road, day to day driving, comparing the classic lift off closed throttle situation where there is engine braking and the car slows down coasting doesn't require opening the throttle to get back up to speed. In this sense less fuel is burnt. Secondly on one particular downhill urban road I use the car goes into coasting mode. However because of the steepness of the hill it accelerates and then the gearbox reengages to slow it down. I don't have ACC. The system is obviously more sophisticated than we give it credit. tom

My roller "blind" got replaced under warranty after it failed to fully retract. This was a 2018 car and within the three years warranty. At that time I had always left it attached to the hatch so it was being extended every time the hatch was opened. Do they still go slack? tom

Is the offset (the ET figure) the same for both wheel/tyre combinations? tom

Sorry but I have no info regarding clearance. However will they be legal? Bigger rolling diameter will cause the speedo to under read and that is the problem. see: https://tiresize.com/comparison/

Head gasket leak would normally be seen as an emulsion when the oil filler cap is removed. tom
