Well, I've gone and bought some wheels for the Yeti, think they will look rather good on, also got hold of some 15mm Spacers from Gizmo68, should look nice once lowered aswell

Just need some Skoda centre caps to finish them off nicely.

Top notch shocks effectively same as B12 kit once you pair them with eibachs.

Came across Strut Brace for the Yeti but I've never heard of the make, Ultra Racing, has anyone heard of or used there kit before?

IIRC UNIT18 in MK are Ultra Racing stockists or suppliers. I'm sure I've seen some of their stuff on Alistair's timeline.

Pretty sure they do a RARB for the 5J Fabia amongst other things.

Thanks, I've been having a search around on Google as well, nice to know they are known among Skoda drivers too

Well I've got the Yeti back, they performed a complete power down system reboot, read a load of data off the car and sent it to Skoda then did a software update just to be sure. 

 

All seems well, interestingly the remap (which the dealership are aware of) wasn't mentioned or picked up on by Skoda Uk. 

 

Next is back to MoreBHP on Thursday to have the car put back to standard before heading over to Shark on the 29th for the 197bhp / 430Nm map they have developed, plus all the suspension and brake upgrades fitting

Looking into a Front Mount Twintercooler for the Yeti, anything for a Mk5/6 Golf platform will fit, just need to check there is enough clearance behind the bumper. 

 

Alternative option is same as the Greenline project, just fit an S3 Intercooler, probably the Darkside Developments one.

Just read through this whole thread as was looking at maps for my 1.6 tdi Seat Leon.

 

Very interesting and well done on the 1.6TDI Yeti build... pretty awesome. Local to me too I'm over Liverpool way.

AwesomeGTI in Manchester, you can order on line, usually next day delivery

Well, the car is back at Mitchell Skoda because the AdBlue warning light came back on with the range falling from 4000 to 650 miles!! 

 

They could tell i wasn't impressed and i told them that if it isn't sorted properly this time then I will be handing the car back. 

 

In the mean time they have give me a vey nice 2.0tdi 150ps L&K Yeti, with DSG and a panoramic roof

 

The car has also been put back to standard by MoreBHP and to be honest, the drive from Crewe to Mitchell Skoda at Cheshire Oaks was still fun with plenty of power.

they going to call you today?

they going to call you today?

Hopefully, I've just had an email from the service manager, they are dealing with it as 'High Priority' and are on with Skoda UK to resolve the issue. 

 

Ive told them i need the car back by the 28th, if its not resolved by then i will look to reject the car and go for another one. 

Any link to the failed map?

Any link to the failed map?

Theres nothing concrete to say it was the map that caused the issues, its just the timing would certainly suggest it was contributing factor. First the engine management light would come on, then a day later the AdBlue failure warning threatening to shut the car down. 

 

As I don't have any hard proof it wouldn't be faire to besmirch MoreBHP's reputation.  

Well, I've got:

 

-Bilstein B6 Shocks

-Eibach Springs

-17" Weiger Wheels & new Skoda centre caps

- 312mm carriers and Pagid Discs

-15mm spacers and bolts for all four corners

-Golf R Anti Roll Bar

-RS Pedal set

-Shark Performance stage 1 remap (booked in)

 

Oh and the customary Briskoda stickers of course

 

What i don't have is the car to fit it all onto!!!! Im starting to loose a little faith in Skoda and the 'New Car Experience' has certainly been spoiled. All the driving I do has got me genuinely concerned that this is going to happen while I'm a few hundred miles from home. 

 

On the plus side this Yeti 4x4 L&K they've given me is rather nice, I've never driven one with a DSG box but in rather liking it, especially the Sport Mode I fully get why everyone likes them so much, but  I'm still prefer manual overall.

 

Mitchell Skoda have been great through it all, very apologetic and very helpful, its Skoda UK who don't seem to know what they are doing! They have admitted they are aware of the problem with AdBlue, but still don't seem to have true solution or fix for the problem!

 

Ill get some pice of L&K up tomorrow
