[The Plumber]

My take a while to put together fully but I will endeavour through part numbers to trace the origins of the major components that make up the Yeti.

Body

Upper body panels

All = 5L Yeti (obvious really)

Engine bay structure and plenum chamber

All = mix of 5L Yeti & 1K Golf V

e.g. suspension strut dome Golf, side member Yeti

Rear seat base, boot floor and rear wheel wells

All = 5L Yeti (odd bracket; 1K Golf V)

Door hinges

Front upper

All = 8K Audi A5

Front lower

All = 7N Alhambra

Rear (upper & lower)

All = 8K Audi A5

Note: other lower sear components including draw primarily; 5N Tiguan

Front seat backrest frame

All without lumber support = 5L Yeti

With Lumber support = 3T Superb II or 5N Tiguan

Thanks Plumber,

Excellent article, Even though I am still well in warranty it is great to see where it all comes from and I will print a copy for future reference.

Now I know why it drives like a sports car with a lid.
