[DTUK CRDt+ box update]

I managed to get some info from Andrew@DTUK about the CRD-T+ programmes:

 

"Prog2 +2 produced 225hp from an audi TT 170HP. Prog3 is our new file which has not been on the dyno but customers who liked Prog2 +2 refer the power delivery of Prog3"

 

I'm trying to test the differences between Prog2 +2 and Prog3 +1/+2. When I find the perfect prog for my driving style, I'll go get new dyno results.

 

Here is the manual for them:

[Maximum Response for my Yeti - PedalBox]

I managed to make my Yeti go into "Limp Mode" because of PedalBox. I  was using Sport Plus +3 and DSG was in D-mode when I suddenly floored the pedal. DSG in S-mode this has never happened

Coming monday I'll be getting some nice Dyno curves fo sho!   Butt-dyno tells me that at least some improvements have happened...

 

Here are my dyno results in Finnish:

Lower is without CRD-T+ and upper is CRD-T+ in P1 0-mode. Next time I will use P1/2/3 in +3 mode and see if the promised (140->185PS and 320->400nm) improvements can be achieved.

Have not tested DSG paddles yet so I don't know if they need VCDS coding to function.

[DTUK CRDt+ box update]

Well I just bought DTUK CRD-T+ and PedalBox for a very nice price, thanks go to Andrew@DTUK   I'll report back when I've installed them and maybe even do a 4WD dyno.

 

I've been trying out the PedalBox for 2 weeks now and lovin' it! Makes the car respond to throttle very nicely and changes the driving experience to more enjoyable, I like to drive fast. I use Sport+ with curve +3 so that it's the max it allows, feels almost like a sports car   Next I'll have the DTUK CRD-T+ installed.

[Skoda Yeti Paddleshift Retro-fit (pre & post-facelift)]

I have received the steering wheel and it looks stunning! Next I need to make an appointment with the repair shop that has the lowest price for work the to be, I'm also installing ebc greenstuff's and DTUK CRD-T+. I will take pictures of the installation

[New tyres needed]

Here's something I'm using:

They are perfect and give a little boost to ride height too

[Paint blisters on doors]

We have the same problem here in Finland, I just noticed that the left passenger door has some blisters. Local Skoda retailer told me that my Yeti could be in repairs for 6 whole days because they are gonna re-paint all the doors :(

[Yeti Tyre and Rim Guide]

I've been using Continental EcoContact 5 225/55R17 on my Yeti and they are perfect! A bit oversized sure but they only touch lightly the front bender when reversing and turning the wheel all the way.

[A baby Jeep from Jeep (Juke sized)]

I've always dreamed about owning the MacGyver's Jeep Wrangler since I was a kid, maybe this baby jeep would be an better option in cold Finland where summer only lasts like a month.

[Skoda Yeti Paddleshift Retro-fit (pre & post-facelift)]

I bought it and managed to get free shipping and no 5% paypal fee. Next I need to find a repair shop that installs it. I wonder if it needs VCDS coding to function?

[Tuning box or Remap]

Now I want to get the Haldex remapped as well, so there's a more equal split front to rear but that's a whole other discussion.

 

If you manage to get this done, please let me know where and how?

[Skoda Yeti Paddleshift Retro-fit (pre & post-facelift)]

That looks interesting, a semi facelift for the pre fl models! 

 

Looks like it would be a straight fit to most models... £330 seems ok because it's got the airbag too, I guess the older wheels are much cheaper now. 

 

Thanks for noticing that it comes with the airbag already, I guess I now gotta buy it

[Skoda Yeti Paddleshift Retro-fit (pre & post-facelift)]

There is also one with red stitching:

http://www.cars-equipment.com/www/en/shop/flat-bottom-steering-wheels-3/oem-flat-bottom-mfsw-steering-wheel-11/#product_21264

 

I asked from the store if that fits my Yeti and they told me yes it does, a bit expensive though. I guess I need to ask if the old airbag fits in too.

[Yeti 140 hp Tdi remapping with Superchips map]

Yep the tuning boxes used by DTUK are the DTE Systems units, German engineering

 

Okay, thanks for the info. But still I'd like your opinion about those Response Control and Pedal Box products. Waste of money or do they have some value? 200 euros for one is a bit much, but I'd like to test one. I take it those who sell them have some kind of return policy if you do not like what you get out of them.

[Yeti 140 hp Tdi remapping with Superchips map]

Is this the same as the RaceChip's Response Control:

 

DTE Systems Maximum Response PEDAL BOX

 

 

To answer meself, yes it is. Here is the info page for it:

German made

[Yeti 140 hp Tdi remapping with Superchips map]

I'd recommend DTUK over RaceChip, I have used and loved the new CRDt+ unit plus they are a forum sponsor so will offer a discount to Freedom members.

German vs. British engineering Here in Finland we prefer the Germans but I'll check that out for sure. I think we have a local dealer for Shark perf. and I've already asked them if they can remap my Yeti, waiting for their answer. I just think that chiptuning is the way I want to go as it's easier to get rid off.
