Good to hear that your wife is OK! Sorry about the Yeti...
-
I'll hope for the best then, hoping that the odds for two cars in a row with engine failure are highI find it somewhat odd to replace the Yeti, due to engine problems, with a car with possibly the least reliable engine VAG have ever made.
-
These are from LightFORCE and are all plastic so no glass or metall at least...Those lights could seriously mess up a pedestrian or cyclist if you were to hit them. They negate all the advances that have been made in car front-end design to reduce injuries in accidents with non-vehicle occupants. Sorry to be so killjoy about it, but those type of accidents do happen - a friend of mine was t-boned quite recently while cycling in London by a driver not looking when coming out of a side turning.

With a different engine I presume
Yes, it is a 1.4L with supercharger and turbo. If it is better remains to be seen
Would think from the wheels it is a R line.

Yes, it is a R line. I really like that design.
Irrespective of the warranty if you can prove it was maintained as per manufacturer's spec then you may well have a claim under the sales of goods act. I think the small claims court limit is now £10K since April. If uncontested as many large co's do then you win your case by default.
But only progress if you know you are in the right and have evidence to support your claim.
It is supposed to be relatively simple.
I live in Sweden so british laws are not valid. I would have fought harder if the Yeti was privately owned by me but it was owned by my company. Private consumers have much better protection... Finally, I just wantet to get rid of the car...

I finally gave up on my Yeti. It's too bad as I really liked the Yeti and would definitely have bought a Yeti II if I hadn't had all the problems with the first one. A bit over a week ago I traded it in for a new Tiguan. I hope I have better luck with this one
-
Off topic I know, but how have you fixed those lights to the front of the car ?
Llanigraham is right. It is a folded metal sheet placed behind the number plate. This is the om I use:

The lights do not weigh very much so they do not need further support.

The engine...

Well, it's done... my Yeti got a new engine this week. All went well and after paying the deductible I will try not to think to much about it. Have not gotten any help from Skoda but had to use my insurance. The total lack of support/goodwill from Skoda makes this my last Skoda...

I'm incredably sorry for wasting your time and your clicks...

In this road bike freestyle video with Vittorio Brumotti he arrives in a really cool orange Yeti

I have the same problem with my Yeti 160 TSI! Unfortunately I did the same mistake and kept filling up oil for some time instead of doing a complete checkup but it is easy to be wise in hindsight...
As my car is over four years old and has about 50000 miles on the odometer I have no warranty left. I did not have it a year ago either but at least the excess would have been lower...
I get no help whatsoever from Skoda so I have to use my insurance. The replacement is calculated at a bit over £ 7200.00 and my excess as the car is registered on my small company is 40 percent as the car has rolled over 43500 miles...
I really think it sucks that an engine that has not been tuned, has been driven normally and serviced according to plan at a Skoda workshop gives up so soon and if it isn't something that happens often it is very cheap by Skoda not to help. I will not by a Skoda again and I will tell the story to everyone that listens so Skoda will only get badwill out of this. Had they helped they would have received loads of goodwill instead!

The Yeti is really easy to park

But wouldnt that leave water marks in other places and leave the roof area and carpet in the boot area above the water logged box, wet?
Yes, you're right. I did not just get water in the box... but most of it ended up there. The carpet was wet also and at first I thought it was from my dog as it all happened in very rainy weather (duh!). Anyways Skoda fixed it and replacet the tools and the 12V pump as it was all drenched.

I had the same problem with my Yeti. It is an early Yeti with sunroof and the drainage went to two rubber seals close to the hinges of the rear hatch. This led to problems for some owners. This has been changed since the early Yetis and now the drainage is led down to the rear wheels. My Yeti was updated after my very big problems. One day when I opened the rear hatch water war dripping from the safety belt in the roof!

Oh, I loved my Mk1 4X4! It was just mapped ta around 210 hp but 10+ years ago not that many cars were tunes so it kicked ass against most cars it met. Most important it kicked VRS ass
I even raced it on a track day and placed well as it was a little wet.

Both look good but you need LED sidelights (OEM ones show up as too yellow); I'd then prefer the lights on photo.
Guy
I'm not sure what you mean with "sidelights". In the picture I have the hazard warning lights on...
-
I don't understand the problem

I'm not sure which version I prefer so I post both
Sony NEX-5R with 16mm prime and a fisheye adapter.

A very nice piece of glass, it would seem
Yes, it's a great little lens
-
Camera and lens details, please?
The interior picture with me in it was taken with a Nikon D40X that I tested. The lens was mine, a Nikon 10.5 mm fisheye lens.

I think you are absolutely right in your actions. I don't know what the law says where you live but in Sweden every dog owner has a strict responsibility for what his dog does! You can't talk your way out of it. The problem is of course if there aren't any witnesses but in your case it should be easy to show to the police that your dog was damaged by the other dog but the other dog is fine. Personally I wouldn't hesitate reporting an incidence like this to the police!

This picture is mostly to show haw the Yeti looks with auxiliary lights, something we in Scandinavia likes during the very dark winter
