That all makes sense, I guess I won't know the prognoses until some time this coming week.

Hi and thanks for the info. My petrol Yeti is low mileage on a 65 plate, just under 50 thousand miles and is a 1.2 TSi. About 3 1/2 years ago I had, after a dramatic injector and rail failure, had them replaced, since then the car has been perfect, other than silly things like replacing wheel sensors, that type of thing that's part and parcel of owning a car/Yeti. I like my Yeti, rarely go faster the 65mph and it chugs away happily. Even when cold I don't think I have ever smelt petrol. the only time I have done so was the original failure of the rail/ injectors, so you may be onto something as I did get a strong whiff of petrol again this time around. I know Yeti injectors are known to shake themselves loose or get stripped but would have thought when they replaced the rail and injectors they would have done so with upgraded bolts, I know originally there was a design fault with Yeti fuel rail bolts that was widely reported on this site and others. I hope it is an issue that can be simply fixed, like tightening, I won't know till next week.

Thank you, today I drove it 4 miles to the garage that services my Yeti, no faster than 15mph, apart from limp mode, ( EPC light ), the engine check light also appeared. Other then that the car behaved normally, by that I mean no strange noises, no smells except a strong petrol smell, I shall have to see what it is and the cost damage.

UK Yeti 1.2 TSI Manual, Petrol Would anyone be kind enough by marking the image below, show me where the plastic pipe from the brake servo to the inlet manifold under the throttle body is located? Trying to investigate an EPC warning light issue for myself but don't have a workshop manual to show me around.

Thanks Varooom, I am a beleiver in the notion, " if it works leave the dammn thing alone. But I sometimes choose to ignore my own thinking. Could you give me the file update. I don't have a Skoda SD but have others I can re-format to fat 32, would this be OK?

I have a Bolero in my Yeti 1.2 Tsi SE. It works ok. I don't have Smart Link enabled. Is it worth me updating?

Not sure if this should be under a separate heading but as I mentioned it here. Carista dongle procedure, it all went to plan but some differences. The dongle is available on Amazon at a discount price but not obvious. Sellers mention Carista Gen 1 & 2, don't get hung up on this, they are and do the same thing, the confusion caused is all about packaging. While you do get a free 1 months trial, you do have to purchase a full years subscription and cancel within 30 days. In the UK once the app has downloaded, dongle plugged in and both phone and dongle are connected, there is no longer a choice of countries as stated in some of the You Tubes, This I think is because the Carista app has evolved/updated, you get a choice of Germany, Europe/Other, choose the latter if in the UK. There is no Australia or America selection although there is still the choice of languages Depending on what you are attempting, the video/s are pretty much as advised. I got my big speedo back so am happy. 😄

Hi, Engine bay isn't the problem. I like to carry in the back of the car get out of trouble tools, the 808 is a little large to stack/hide tidly away. Like you I have just purchased mine, I was just a bit surprised by its size, still I'm not complaning, good price, good tool.

Hi, I'm not expert enough to give an opnion on the Ctec, for argument sake call it a smart charger that has trickle charge capabilities. I am on a budget and could not justifi forking out £80-£100, knocking around in the back of the car owning a Ctec and getting used only when required. The Ctek however is a smaller then the Ring charger I purchased so makes tucking it away neater. Still the Ring does everything the Ctec does, it is just larger, put up with that, then the price is pretty good to to carry in the back of the car to get used when required.

Just replaced the EFB battery in my Yeti with a Bosh EFB 027. The old battery had been dormant for some 3 years but I wanted to see if it was posible to bring it back to life first by kick starting it with a standard battery charger to get some life in it, then let a trickle charger take over. I didn't even get that far, the old battery would simply not take/keep a charge, no point in flogging a dead horse, so scrapped the battery, pity I wanted to see how effective my new Ring battery charger would cope.

Tayna were excellent, next day delivery, in the end I got a Bosch EFB 027 battery.

I finaly got my Yeti back a few days ago, just over £1500 to sort out and it is great to have the vehicle back up and running. A whole bunch of work done, replacement fuel rail, injectors, battery, new water pump and belt, full service and everything that includes so all in all £1500 is not to bad. I have forgoton how to set up a couple of things and because of the works undertaken the workshop did a factory reset to clear all fault codes, I understand this, unfortunatly this has made disapear a couple of things that were enabled, one being the big didital speedo. However I have just invested in a Carista module/dongle and viewed a very good how to You Tube video so will have the big speedo back up and showing by the weekend. Good to be able to use my MP3 player and lisen again to my varied mix of music. All is good, it is one thing less I have to worry or feel bad about.

I understand J.R., a great many people all over have had to make changes for reason/s or other. No matter how hard for you, the fact you were able to start making changes, against the tide maybe, says a lot for your character and strength. I on the otherhand, crashed out, I was like--well-- mentally swimming through jelly, a lot of heartache and greif, things had to give and I did. As someone said to me recently, holes like that don't go away, you just, given time, learn to stear around them. It's a crooked straight line path but everyday is going forward---most days that is.

fantastic, thankyou.

Yes my fault, I purchased the vehicle in 2019, it broke down in 2019.
