2.0 Diesel Air Intake
Does the 170 have a bigger intake than the 110 ?

2010 Yeti S MFSW question
To assist with a retro-fit project, can I ask anyone with a 2010 Yeti with factory fitted MFSW for the steering wheel part number (and VCDS coding screenshot if you have them)? Thanks

Change to MpH
A 2010 S won't have maxidot unless it's been retrofitted (my current project), the simple test is to open a door and see if you get a full outline of the car with the correct door showing as open, or a little red symbol in the clocks

Yeti MFSW part number request
Does anyone have a 2010 Yeti, a MFSW and VCDS who can let me have the part number for their MFSW off a scan, or paste the steering wheel screenshot please? There are no many versions of the steering wheel, buttons and control module so I'd like to ensure I get one that fits. Thanks

Bulb changing help...
God no! Don't use molegrips! If you are VERY careful you could start the movement of the bulb holder by pushing gently with a long thin screwdriver.

Fitting a CANBUS 2.0 headunit in a pre-facelift Roomster/Fabia (CANBUS 1.6)
I thought RNS Cruise was an RNS 300 ?

Bulb changing help...
I've just fitted h7 bulbs to our 2007 Scout, it IS simple - you just need strong fingers to twist the bulb holder as there's no room to move your wrist

2007 Roomster Scout 1.9tdi throttle pedal
I have the throttle pedal issue that plagued Roomies and Fabia 2's, idle is 1000rpm. Can anyone advise a part number for a later revision that will work ? Thanks

Thule Easyfold XT towbar bike rack
I think you can get a storage box to fit on that rack which is useful as the Yeti boot is somewhat lacking

Is it a 140 or a 170?
The owner may not be sure what engine is in the car, but you can bet a lifetime's wages that the Vehicle Excise people know down to the last penny what they are owed - check what road tax you are paying against the CO2 figures.

Broken/ Faulty Drivers door wiring loom
Probably best to get it from Skoda, give them your VRM and you'll get the correct loom based upon the spec of the car when it left the factory As a guide, I paid (from memory) £65ish for a new door loom from VW for a 55 plate Touran, last year

Best NON-HID headlamp solution ?
Roomster and Fabia 2 headlamps are notoriously bad, HID's are the frequently trotted out remedy - but they give errors in the swinging headlamp system. Our Roomster currently has a set of ECP xenon blue h7s fitted, they are due to be changed for a set of 150% xenons

Replacing right hand steering wheel control panel
Disconnect the battery overnight if you intend to remove the airbag - you'll also need a wide(ish) short handled screwdriver and a small mirror to be able to see the catches that need to be released

Radio upgrade
I'm not up on the RCD310 as I wanted the ability to put 64Gb of music on an SD card. If there's internal BT there will be a proper BT address on the label - not in blank like this 00:00:00
-
Radio upgrade
If you want BT as well, make sure you look on the label for a valid BT address, not just a row of zeros. I updated the maps to 2020 spec with an SD card off ebay for £25. Then you'll need one of those GPS modules with 3m of cable and a fakra connection on the end (£5 on ebay) , they are usually magnetic and fit neatly under the A pillar trim

I have an RNS315DAB in my Scout which fits perfectly

The Austrailian dash speedo on a 2017 car?
Sorry, no internet in sodden darkest Worcs all day ... agreed, S models have 5L0 920 900 E instruments which don't support many mods

Don't you need a maxidot display? Otherwise you're wasting your time, surely?

Best NON-HID headlamp solution ?
It's the utter lack of penetration on country lanes that's so awful, my wife was terrified when I turned off the headlamps last night but gobsmacked at how little difference it made! On full beam reflective road signs are ok to look at, on the same road in my Smart 451 with full beams on, you can't look at the signs because they are so bright and dazzle. Does anyone have the details of the 'beam flattening' system, maybe the previous owner played with these settings and didn't put them back correctly?

Best NON-HID headlamp solution ?
If you change the entire headlamp assembly from projectors to 'standard', they take a H4 bulb I've been advised to look at Osram Nightbreakers Next Gen, anyone tried them?
-
Best NON-HID headlamp solution ?
I know this subject has been done to death, but most threads asking this question seem to get hijacked by HID posts. Anyway, I have a 2007 Scout with single H7 bulbs in projector lights, I've tried 35w HID's (personally I wasn't too impressed but better than standard) however, they caused an error in the swinging headlamp feature that caused a recent MOT fail, so they are now out. Standard 'supermarket' H7 bulbs are terrifying on the lanes where I live. Has anyone had any success with uprated H7 bulbs, LED bulbs? Or even a swap back to 'normal' H4 headlamps?

Yeti for camping
We use a Coleman Octagon which goes up in 15 mins for overnight stops, and takes up little space in the boot

Roomster replacement
I want to refresh our cars and change our 2007 Scout 1.9tdi, but at about 100k the car feels like new. If there's a criticism its the engine which feels like a tractor compared to our 2.0tdi Yeti, and of course it's still too small and low for me to get in and out of without showing my pants ... Suspension if taught, handling is great, economy excellent and the interior is unmarked and very clean ... what am I going to get that will touch that?
