  1. I believe it has a life-time cambelt.....
  2. Had a go in a new Golf MK7 Gt the other day with the 150ps 1.4 Tsi Act engine. Very quiet, fast and pulled strongly but didn't feel as urgent as the diesel. Also the fuel consumption would most likely be in the 40's compared with the upper 50's in the diesel even with the cylinder deactivation. No DPF or cambelt issues though!.... :|
  3. "A citigo could do that".....probably quicker
  4. Llanigraham's journey looks like everyday roads to me... :|
  5. Do you really fancy doing this with the engine in situ.... :no: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fAi667H7M2Y
  6. It would be very difficult to do yourself as special VAG tools are required....

  8. People using this type of sophisticated equipment are most likely interested in Porsche, Audi and the like not Yetis..... :|
  9. Cars will not meet Euro 6 legislation without AdBlue..... :no:
  10. (Diesels run hotter than petrols - that's why they make more NOx.) Diesels don't run hotter than petrols. How many Yeti owners will now put their hands up and admit they are not using premium fuels and therefore creating problems with DPF etc.....
  11. The problem with this is most people prefer the real world driving experience of diesel over petrol... :|
  12. Seems not to be an uncommon issue. It appears the problem is exacerbated by not using premium diesel fuel. VAG usually offer a goodwill of 100% of price of the part and 50% of labour if the car is out of warranty and has a full service history with a main dealer. This brings the price down to approx. £300. I hope this helps.
  13. I think this just shades it..... :p
  14. These vehicles are just causing a parking problem for everyone...

  16. Changing your car for the dog..wow! :|
  17. Indeed, never ever thrash a cold engine.... :no:

  19. Already been thrashed on the rolling road at Skoda, no worries.... :|
  20. The reason they charge more for white and red is they are popular colours so they make more money..
  21. just had my battery replaced on a Golf Tdi 140 and they did it while the engine was running, no loss of codes..
