Are the Bosch Aerotwin blades the best ones for the monster?

No, I was relying on the published shipping details. Will do next time!

Thanks for the info, would have gone for one, unfortunately no shipping to Bulgaria... Next time

I can also confirm this is the case.

Many thanks to Gizmo68 for the help, after some tests with VCDS I decided to push Skoda BG to finish their work. Of course the mechanics there tried to explain me how they don't have Westfalia stand for testing the towbar (maybe I had to get them the stand), how they are not sure if with 13 to 7 pin converter the Yeti can understand that there is something attached behind it, and so on, and so on. Luckily a guy that was responsible for the translations of all documentation came, confirmed that it's not working as it's supposed to be, and with VAS5052 for under 2 minutes managed to code it correctly. This is what I see now on the Swing display, when I have the bike carrier attached, and select reverse: And the carrier in question: Sorry for the bad pictures, I can put better ones some other day. So there you have a picture of the elusive combination of Swing radio + trailer attached

The guy from Skoda BG used VAS5052, thankfully he knew what he was doing, so in 2 minutes I got this (finally): First pic of Swing with towbar installed, and coded correctly

As I have a VCDS cable now, I'll try to fix it with remote support from Gizmo68 (many thanks!). I'm just amazed that no one else has this combination (Swing + Towbar, correctly coded).

As the topic says - I have now the towbar fitter (original Westafalia by Skoda BG). As for the coding - I have my doubts everything is done correctly. Here's the checklist: 1) When I select reverse, there is no visual indication that i'm towing something (with Thule EuroWay G2 921 bike carrier fitted & connected (7-pin)) - NOK? 2) Again when on reverse, constant signal from the parking sensors that I'm about to hit something + relevant picture on Swing display. - NOK 3) The rear foglight is not operational when the bike carrier is connected - OK 4) The alarm goes off when carrier is disconnected Any ideas if everything is OK or if not - what's wrong?

Hi, As currently my dealer (Skoda BG) is fitting Westfallia removable towbar and electrics (without factory towbar preparation), can I ask some of you with Swing radio and towbar if it's showing on the Swing display if something is connected to the plug? As I understood, that's what the Bolero display shows, just wondering for the Swing. Also as viewing how many of you had problems (especially with the correct coding), is there a way (checklist?) to see if everything is OK from start?

Saw a Yeti with a small trailer at Cala Mitjana beach, Arta, Mallorca on 28.05. Really nice location. The color was Muscovado (maybe) The driver was enjoying the view

Hi, As spring came up quite suddenly here, I ended up with an (almost) full tank of winter washer fluid). The genuine Skoda one. I was intending to keep it and use it in spring/summer, but it has a quite strong odor, also the summer fluids are better for removing insects from the windscreen. So my question for you is: Is there a way to drain the washer fluid tank? And finally, what type of summer washer fluid do you use?

Russian for sure I'm yet find such perfect spot to try out my Monster! Maybe the spring will bring such opportunities here...

I can confirm that even with clamps there is no problem with the sunroof open. Skoda bars, Thule clamps/roofbox that is.

For those of you who might be interested: It seems quite accurate! (no aerial, though)

I don't know if any of you are using this connection (3,5mm jacks) to play music via the Yeti sound system, but I find it very quiet, even on the loudest setting for the AUX (level 3, if I remember correctly). Tried it with both long and short cables (silly me to think that the impedance of the cable might be the problem ). SWING system here, to be more precise. And, if someone is wondering - you can control nothing more than the volume via the dashboard in this way, as it's stated in the manual.

Here is the DIY solution Llanigrahan was reffering to: A cover to close the boot... Since then I have slightly modified the design - the dimensions of the cloth piece are almost the same, but this time the velcro sticks to the parcel shelf and the vertical side (behind the seats) of the spare wheel cover - using this setup you can freely move the seats back & forth, fold them, remove them, etc., while with the other setup the velcro sticks to the back of the seats. I'll try to provide photos of setup #2 in near future One more option - if you make the cloth big enough (I think something like 1m x 0.4m, velcro on 1m side), you can completely close the boot gap in case the seats are standing on their feet or are completely removed, and you want to separate the boot from the rest of the car. Actually I'm quite disappointed Skoda didn't thought of something simple, but effective (like a blind or so). BR, Boyan

Can you tell me the outer dimensions of this Hapro box (and model)? From Thule dimensions, I have concluded that ~11cm shorter than the box skis can be fitted.

Soooo - here are some photos. Sorry bout the crappy images, forget to charge the batteries of my Canon, and my phone is... well, just a phone Sideview of the black Kamei Corvara 310, gray Thule Pacific 500 and some fat Hapro : And front views, in the same order: - Hapro & unknown dude And some conclusions: - wrong orientation for one of the pics, I know! - never forget to charge batteries! - for that long long roof box, you need to have a short aerial. The eagle-eyed can see that I have one. Really short one! - with that long roof boxes, you cannot open the boot completely! Both Thule Pacific 500 & Kamei Corvara 310 are ~ 2.30m. So I'll have to rethink my strategy again To start from the beginning, my brother is taller than me, and his skies are longer (~1.90m). Mine are 1.80, and I consider them the max length, that is comfortable to be carried inside (between the seats, in a ski sack, of course). Also having more than 2 pairs of skies inside is unacceptable (for me, ate least). So I decided to have a ski carrier for the roof rack. But than I decided to switch for a roof box, to compensate for the small boot. But that long roof box is not a perfect fit for the Yeti, as it turns to be. So maybe now I'll go for a shorter roof box + simple ski carrier for exceptionally long skies...

So it's "NO WELDING NEEDED ! NO SCREWS NEEDED ! JUST SNAP-IN VERSION !" JUST SOME GRINDING NEEDED! Not very honest advertising from superskoda, if that's the case Now tell me that you also ordered "STAINLESS STEEL (!!!) outer rings for climatronic buttons" to match the look Having the stainless steel pedal set myself as a bonus from the deal in the beginning, I'm considering the matching footrest... What was I saying about the vanity?

As stated in the manual: "If the warning light does not go out after starting the engine or it lights up when driving, a fault exists in an exhaust relevant component. The engine management system selects an emergency programme which enables you to drive to the nearest specialist garage by adopting a gentle style of driving."

My bad, I failed at the conversion hp/kw And yes, you're going to look like the big boys now

Johann, regarding the exhaust pipe pieces - it's stated that "- fits to Yeti 1.2 TSI and 2.0 TDI CR 81/103 kW only"...

Will try to provide complete coverage of the event

@Johann - "Vanity is my favorite sin." )) I know the black Corvara is looking better than the gray one & the Thule. It's also ~50% more expensive than the gray one, though... I'm going to the roof box store tomorrow to try each one of them on top of the Yeti, and to see if "black on black" is 50% more better
