207bhp Yeti Greenline 1.6tdi Project - Skoda Yeti SE Business 2.0 tdi 150ps SCR Project

[DarrellGB]

Thought I'd keep a record of what's been done so far on my Yeti Outdoor Greenline CR-S.

I'm terrible for personalising my cars so when we went for the base S model as it had a 2 week order instead of 4 months.

Here's a record of the 'upgrades' made so far and the people who have worked on the project.


Here's what we've done:


ADE Tuning Skoda Yeti Greenline 1.6tdi

Engine and Performance Changes:
GTC1549vz (CR177) turbo upgrade
Braided Oil Feed Pipe - DarkSide Developments
ADE Tuning Stage 2 Map
S3 Intercooler
VW Racing Intake
Whiteline front and rear adgustable anti roll bars.
Bilstein Shocks & Eibach Pro Kit
Milltek DPF Back Exhaust with Twin Jetex Tail Pipes
DarkSide Developments Downpipe
Brake Upgrade - Hubs, Callipers, Carriers, 312mm discs from a 2014 Leon FR 185.
DarkSide Developments Hard Pipework Kit

Cosmetic Changes:
- 17” Teron Alloys (Original Skoda)
- Door Sill Protectors (Original Skoda)
- Aluminium effect bumper step protector (Original Skoda)
- Parcel shelf net holder (Original Skoda)
- Columbus Sat Nav unit upgrade from Swing model (Original Skoda)
- Osram Night Breaker - Dipped and Main Beam
- Yet RS Pedal Kit (Original Skoda)
- Chrome Surround - AC Controls
- 5 Piece fitted sun shades
- Under seat storage draws
- Sun Glasses storage case
- Vinyly Roof Wrap - Gloss Black

- Noise Killer Sound Dedening, full car kit

The car is currently running at 180bhp and 360Nm. Everyone involved up to now has done an amazing job, the car will be at a few shows and track days this year, now proudly sponsored by Mitchell Skoda.

ADE Tuning are bringing this project home, our target is to produce the most powerful 1.6tdi in the UK, running at 200bhp.

This would also make it one of the fastest 1.6tdi engined VAG cars in Europe, another first for ADE Tuning.

More to come as time goes on, next I'm looking at dropping the Yeti even lower.

I'll get some more picks up later but here's a few.

Look at the twins and Yeti vRS to see about suspension drop as Richard has got it absolutely spot on with the ride height! KW V3 were used

I've been following that thread with interest, he's given me some great tips on combing Golf and Audi Q3 springs, I've emailed Eibach to see if they will sell me a combined set.

As a matter of interest, when you do each of these mods obviously you ring your insurance company each time to tell them - as per their stipulations and terms and conditions etc......but do they charge you an administration fee each time you call?  Most seem to charge around £25 or £30....I know mine does.  I would imagine the cost of telling them every time you added or changed  something must start to add up?

Easier to tell them all of the plans from the start and get it insured like that

They were not interested in OE parts as they are classed as direct replacements, the box didn't cost anything as it's classed as an Eco device. Same when I had my Mazda 5 converted to LPG, it didn't cost anything as they were classing it as an Eco alternative.

Yeah, I did the chrome surround for the A/C controls but it still didn't really lift it enough for me - that's why I went down the piano black finish route.

I was thinking about that as it would tie in with the finish on the steering wheel. Was it done by a body shop? If you don't mind me asking, what did it set you back?

[137699]

It was done by aquagraphix. Cost was £45 Iirc.

Great price for something looking that good, off the shelf would cost more!

[DarrellGB]

Latest little 'mod' makes charging your phone that little bit smarter

[137699]

I give up - what is it? It's in the cig lighter socket so I'm guessing it's some form of inductive charger?

Spot on it's an official Skoda double USB charging point which emits a white glow from the outer ring I'm easily pleased

[DarrellGB]

LED DRL ordered.

After finally tracking down the correct bulb type (PW54) which Skoda dealership didn't know! And also working out how to access them, I've ordered these CREE Bulbs, all reviews say they work with 99.9% of VAG group vehicle with no CANBUS issues .

I'll keep you updated when they are fitted next week.

[Llanigraham]

How much ??!!??

 

That's a full tank of diesel!!

[DarrellGB]

If they work I don't mind, rather that than trying to bodge something together with EBay bargains and 10p resistors

Not spot on at all .... a double USB is a very different beast to an inductive charger.

I am many things but an electrician I am not, but now I know

[DarrellGB]

CREE LED DLR's have arrived ( man that's a lot of capitols!!) I'll get them fitted tomorrow and report back for anyone wanting to switch there FL Yeti to LED ( or any Skoda using the PW24W bulb)

[DarrellGB]

LED Day Time Running Lights fitted, they are the ones advertised in the link above. No errors or resistors needed.
