Thanks Colin, is your A3 the 1.5 TSI as that is what is in our Q2. im probably odd insomuch as I miss the primitive nature of the yeti, I find the Q2 brilliant but forgettable - my wife and I were just talking about this and the emotional attachment.

That makes a lot of sense. I feel a bit gutted as towards the end of our time with our urban the faults we’re getting really bad so I didn’t even consider one of the newer Skoda’s but having chatted with you all I think I made a big mistake. ah well, you live and learn

You are right in that we don’t need a diesel but as I’ve trawled through autotrader etc the post 2016 cars all seem to be diesel at the moment.

One more question if you don’t mind, bearing in mind my experience is of the 110 diesel would I be prone to DPF regen issues if I went down the diesel route on a daily commute of c.20 miles on A/B roads with an EU6 diesel yeti. The 110 became a challenge on a weekly basis so my wife ended up detouring around the M54 periodically to minimise the regen requests.

@kenfowler3966 thank you very much for a fantastic explanation I think I should go look at a karoq. @Schtum you’ve hit the nail on the head - the quirky nature of the yeti was irs biggest appeal for me, at the time my wife wanted a countryman and I just couldn’t do it. The VW sales approach is poor in our experience as well which has never made any sense to me, the Audi dealer we bought the Q2 from were great. I want to thank everyone for their contribution, I have a lot to mull over in the coming weeks.

Could you give me an insight as to how the karoq is better please? is yours a diesel?

Thank you very much for the recommendation, pre-COVID we used to visit Ludlow a fair amount so I will definitely look up Overtons, is that the name of the dealer?

Shows how little I know, I never worked out what Adblue was but it seems to be on sale at most petrol station forecourts now. is it an engine cleaner product like shell V power claims to be?

Thanks, that really helps. the next few weeks will be interesting as I work out our options and I did briefly look at the Karoq but it doesn’t have the same appeal.

I wonder if anyone remapped the 150PS ones, I’d never considered that on our old 110.

Thanks very much for the guidance, I spoke with a dealer last week and he advised the EU6 engines didn’t come to the yeti which confused me tbh. did the 150 replace the 170 and 140?

Hi All ive not posted much on here but have learned a lot from you all over the years so thankyou. in August we finally let our Yeti Urban 110 Diesel go having decided we didn’t want to spend any more money on it. We absolutely loved the car and had it for 7 years but the problems started at around 67k after the VW update which somehow caused regular DPF regen issues. we then had a host of electrical gremlins but it was always easier to put the money into repairing the car because we loved it so much. my wife eventually settled on a Q2 which in itself is a great car but I’ve really not gelled with it and i think we all miss the yeti which brings me to my question. are the facelift Yeti’s better made than the pre-facelift I.e. do you know if there were less electrical issues, better rust protection (we had rust spots on the door after a couple of years and Skoda rejected our claim against the warranty citing wear and tear). if we do go back I’d probably want a 170 4*4 version- advice gratefully received 🙂
