Do any readers of this blog in France have any information on what might be happening to collectively get some form of compensation for the dieselgate scandal? I know that consumer rights in France have always been behind the curve, nevertheless something should be happening. Thanks

So you want one for the look rather than for any practical reasons? Oh dear. Do you dye your hair as well? I mean, just for the look?

Cut a potato in half and smear it over the windscreen. It's an old and effective method.

And the moral of the story is don't take your Yeti to a Renault franchise! In France it appears that anyone with a few spanners and a ramp can hang a Renault sign outside their shed.

Do any Yeti owners in France know if the Control Technique (MOT) will be failed if the upgrade is not carried out? I live about as far as it's possible to get from a Skoda main dealer and I don't really want the hassle.

The UK police will generally allow a tolerance of actual speed +10% +3mph. This more than compensates for your cosine correction hangup.

No problems, no faults, just works - a great SM

Which engine and how many miles, Bill? -
I can't see FM being terminated, there would be a huge nationwide uproar of protest, particularly as DAB is so flaky in some areas. It is unreasonable to expect an entire country to junk perfectly serviceable FM receivers (not just in cars) in favour of a questionable, power-hungry alternative.

Thanks baldeagle. I have used their branch at Brive for a minor warranty issue (which they dealt with promptly). I bought my Yeti from the Bordeaux dealer who was ok, but the one in Perigueux was so rude and offhand I vowed never to go back. Unfortunately I live about as far away from a dealer as it's possible to be in France!
-
All good to hear - can you name the French dealer and location please?
-
My advice would be to send it back and, in the circumstances, get the dealer to pick up any admin charge. He knows that if you took it to court he wouldn't have a leg to stand on. Good luck with it - please post the outcome on here! If you can, check to see if there has been any accident damage that may have altered the steering geometry or damaged the suspension set-up.

Billshut! Did you buy it new? Do you know the history?
-
What about the radio security code, if there is one?

You can buy a USB - SD adaptor for less than £10. That might solve your dilemma. https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_i_6_7?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=usb+sd+card+adapter&sprefix=Usb+SD+%2Caps%2C267

Here in France I have had a couple of plss-in-pocket letters (to give a warm feeling) but no sign of any action. I suspect it's going to get worse before it gets better.
