My Yeti 1.2 TSI DSG is due for it's 2 year service tomorrow, and the dealer just phoned to say they will need the car a bit longer to deal with a recall on the turbo. While they're at it, have there been any software/firmware/ECU updates over the last 2 years that I should ask them to apply. I seem to remember there being an update for the DSG automatic gearbox, or did I just imagine that?

My best yet - over the last 2 months, using Tesco Momentum 99, now averaging 48mpg on our 1.2 TSI DSG.

I recently switched to using Tesco Momentum 99 in our Yeti 1.2 DSG, and have gone from averaging 43mpg with Tesco 95 to averaging 48mpg with Momentum 99. For an extra 5p per litre, it saves money and uses less fuel. On my 6000 miles per year, I'll save around £60 (1p per mile). Just need to watch out for Tesco gradually pushing the price differential up.....

No, I very rarely have anything queueing behind me. One advantage of living in the far north of Scotland - no traffic.

I think it's because you get a lot more wind buffeting with it fully open, so the default fully-open position is tuned to reduce wind buffeting.

We now average 43mpg on our one year old 1.2 DSG Elegance. About 80% of that is on cruise control at 55mph, which gets us around 46mpg. Drop to 50mph on the cruise control, and you can get around 50mpg. Remember the old saying - "50 is thrifty, the ton's more fun".

Our 1.2 TSI DSG is just coming up to its one year birthday, and has had no updates applied. Is there a list somewhere so I can see if any should be applied as a "birthday present"?

Exactly the same reason we had the sunroof as well. Coming from a convertible, it was a great option.

Yes, in S mode, you can just about get it into 6th gear, but most of the time it's in 5th. Turn on cruise control, and it immediately goes into 7th gear.

I suspect that Skoda UK associate wood trim with older people, and are worried about putting off younger buyers.

Great choice. Muscovado/Gobi pictures of our Yeti at http://www.flickr.com/photos/tarbat/sets/72157623831482396/detail/ I'd recommend the wood trim as well

Ordered from Allams on Wednesday afternoon. Arrived up here in the far north Friday afternoon, and fitted in 20 minutes. Excellent service from Allams, and easy to fit. As others have said, the Gobi interior looks so much better with this wood trim, and matches the Muscovado exterior colour perfectly.

Thanks. Order placed.

Okay, many thanks. Think I'll go ahead and order the trim. I guess I'm most worried about the black radio surround, as there's no way of identifying where the clips are located.
