Kie

I have not looked myself i just recived the e-mail so i posted it on here.. i could possibly get a hold of it for you and e-mail it to you to look at.. or not like i said im finished with this forum please dont ask me anything els and discontinue this conversation i have nothing further to say

I tag my posts with SUK as it gives people a go to person to PM for any questions ect.. and i always come back with the answer for them a few people out of the fabia forum will tell you that i always post new mods being made delay times ect and do my best to get any updates on changed delay times from factory. have a look at my posts and you will see most of my posts are in the fabia/octavia forums.. i post one bit of info on the Yeti forum and all’s i get is abuse im sorry but i have better things to do then post updates on here for people who don’t care in fact i am sure Skoda would have something to say if they found out i was posting the e-mailed info to me on here (public view) as each e-mail at the bottom states the information in the e-mail is confidential and should not be forwarded.. but i can confirm that this is the last time i will be posting any into the Yeti forum again. .. my job is not customer relations so of course the way i communicate to the public can be a little "common" but customer problems are not my job so have never needed to learn customer handling skills .. or writing to customer etc. so my spelling and so forth are inapplicable to my job

No so when i post on here its just to pass on info to you guys i dont get paid to be on here lol, its just if i recive info i feel may be helpful i post it on here to keep you informed but seems Yeti owners have a serious attitude towards anyone who works for Skoda so i will be sure not to bother wasting my efforts again

SUK stands for Skoda UK not Skoda UK Customer Service

Ive been on here for a while... have a look at my posts i inform of updates all the time and delays in factory ect i am not customer service that has nothing to do with me so dont think for a second i work for you pal. if alls youve got to say is bad things about SUK then go buy a Ford i just posted this on here as information for Yeti owners to look at as i get updates ect via e-mail i do have a job to do other then to take time out to inform you but it seems my efforts are there to be mocked so next time i get any info on Yeti's i will be sure not to bother wasting my time

The Yeti pricelist published in April incorrectly states that folding tables on the rear of the front seats are available as optional equipment on Greenline II models. Amendments are being made and the new brochure will be released soon Thanks Kieran

Its Crazy realy considering the Fabia aint in the WRC VAG groupes rally car comes in the form of a VW Polo.. the Fabia S2000 is in the IRC.. where they are changing the engines once again from S2000(2liter naturaly aspirated) to R5 spec(1.6 turbo) the first 2 come in the form of the 208R5 and the new fiesta R5... wont be long untill the rest follow including the fabia.. poss using the 1.4 twin charged (aslong as it fits within regulation with R5 spec)... slightly off topic i know

What about the DSG gearbox aswel? Cuz it ain't going to fit the standard greavox you've got now especially considering its a diesel so it's set up is completely different in the way it handles torque.. And if that was the case what was the point in buying a brand new fabia then having it stripped down and new engine and gearbox (which probly cost about the same as the car)? Also the exhaust is going to be wrong for the engine so new inlet and exhaust manifold.. Complete new air system, new Engine ECU then of corse there's all the engine electrics because they will be different from a diesel.. Then after all that there's the compatibility of instrument cluster with all this new running gear so you'll have to change that also.. Oh and the brakes and pods the whole suspension set-up.. Might aswel have just got one imported would have saved you so much time and money

Why are you putting VRS badges on a car that aint even a VRS.. do you not think your going to look a little silly when a real VRS is sat behind you or alongside you? worse then that youll have people in saxo VTS's thinkin the car they just smoked was a VRS and they will go off and tell there little crew with corsas that there saxo is quicker then the new twin charged VRS? Please for your own sake and the sake of VRS owners take the badge off

Ye I don’t think your going to get a tyre to suit every day of the week but the concept of the tyre labelling system is to help a customer choose a tyre that may be better then the current one they are using hence why they stick to only the 3 criteria’s. if you wanted something more specific i would suggest maybe looking at the 50 criteria set up by Goodyear Dunlop company

Well yes that’s what it is designed to do.. to help dealerships create more revenue by being able to explain to you the benefits of spending that extra £50 at point of sale (benefit to dealers) and save you money in the long run (benefit to you)

Well the tyre label by the EU states that the difference between A and G is 6 litres + from a full tank i.e. (7.5%) increase in fuel economy

Hope this helps Kieran (Skoda UK)

We had a day with Dunlop Goodyear to help explain these tyre labels now on these tyre labels the are only 3 criteria’s listed i.e. rolling resistance stopping distance in the wet and noise from outside of the car heard by passers by (not noise herd in the cabin don’t know why but don’t mistake it for dB heard in the cabin because it’s not) now all of this is explained on here: http://www.goodyear....label/index.jsp but this opens opportunity for cheap tyre companies to create a tyre that may well excel in these 3 categories to make it look good to you guys (the buyers) but what the label fails to mention is all tyres are tested under 50 different tests by good year including thins like corning in the wet and tyre wear etc. now all these 50 criteria cannot be listed but there is a magazine company call EVO that have conducted the same test on all well-known tyres and listed the most important criteria for you guys to look at.. And this can be accessed here: http://www.tyrereviews.co.uk/Tyre/

Hey thats a good thing its what forums are all about

Well not realy because high milage petrol turbo engines are one to steer clear of.. and the higher the milage of a car the more t=chance you have of things like warf in the gearbox (new gearbox needed) which you wouldnt know unless you drained the gearbox of it oil while you was havin a look at it lol. also things like that abs module could fail with a cost of £3000 and it could have every single service done at main dealers and still things like this can crop up.. the higher the milage on a vehicle the morwe change you have of mechanical parts failing.. the older a vehicle the more chance you have of an electrical part failing but there are bargains to be made in say a 3 year old car with 32k on the clock as this is when a car has depreciated the most from new it tends to depreciate slower after this because of the warrenty has usualy ran out

Abit extreame but i spose its your decision

i Belive its to do with shortage of parts in wearhouse

The artical says its the 120bhp engine

High mileage cars are a bargain i would agree in fact the Germans can not understand why we get rid of a car that has 100k+ on the clock because if parts are replaced and the engine is serviced at the correct intervals the car will just keep on going.. i have seen transit vans and Mercedes sprinter vans that are constantly loaded with 300k+ on the clock and still runs as good as the day it rolled out of the factory.. but at the same time you can buy a car with say 32k on the clock and say for example the hydraulic control unit goes on the abs just after your warranty with the selling dealer runs out and your looking at a bill for £3,000 and you can be as careful as u like and research every possible problem on particular models but there's always that chance something like that can happen

Aint it the 120bhp version??

A more in depth approach as this is the full version on the website by the magazine... my version sent to me via e-mail is Skoda’s hence why it only mentions the bits that make it look good lol either way both versions are made accessible to read on here now

German magazine Auto Bild has praised the Yeti’s build quality after putting it through the toughest long-term test in magazine history. Auto Bild staff drove a Yeti 1.8 TSI 4x4 for two years, travelling 100,000km (62,137 miles) in the process. They then took it to the Mladá Boleslav factory to have it completely dismantled – right down to the valves in the engine. After the Yeti had been reduced to a tidy collection of parts, each component was checked for wear and tear. The magazine’s editors praised the condition of the engine, gearbox, exhaust system, chassis and body cavities, and the only imperfection was a small oil stain on a seal. Thanks to this sterling performance, the Yeti scored ŠKODA’s highest ever Auto Bild long-term test score: 1-. The Yeti didn’t just show its mettle in the workshop; the editors loved the way it drove before it was dismantled. The editorial team’s test log explained why it was so popular: “The engine offers well-balanced power across a wide range of revs. It’s great to drive, and the steering, gearbox and brakes are very efficient too.”

I believe the show car is to show you up and coming changes being made but dates are always a little sketchy
