Looks like the trade in of you Fabia for a Yeti might be doable.

 

I was originally getting lease quotes on the 170 L&K, but now I am being told there are none of these available as they have changed to the newer 150.

 

Question is, are there any other spec differences on these new builds with the 150 engine? And, barring the power loss, what are the positives and negatives with going for the 150?

 

Also, what are the current lead times for orders to spec on the Yetis? I am told 8 weeks, but not sure if I believe that or not

 

Cheers

Check the brochures of the old and new to find the differences if any, the 150ps engine is quite a bit more economical than the 170ps according to the brochure.

Good luck on finding a brochure.

My Dealer has none and only 1 dealer only copy of the old one .

I've just ordered a  new 150 diesel scr SEL,and according to the inhouse skoda paperwork I've seen there are no major differences to the old 2015 year build .

CO2 drops to 134g,so slightly cheaper road tax and the claimed fuel consumption figures show a useful improvement.

Claimed 0-62 mph for the 150 is 9.1 seconds compared to 8.4 for the old 170 TDI.

The brochure can be downloaded, and there are no major changes apart from the engine as far as we know. We'll know more in the next week or two when MY16 start to show up in the country.

Does anyone know whether the larger discs fitted to the [old] 170 are fitted to the [new] 150 - my money says not ...........

They weren't on the 160 petrol so unlikely on the new TDI... But no one knows until one shows up in UK.

I've now found somewhere that can do a 170. It's about £300 more expensive over the two years than the 150.

Not sure which to go for.

Is that £300  more expensive on the lease?

I'd go for the 150 and save a little bit on fuel costs as well.

Yes. £300 more across the lease payments.

I am thinking the 150 as well.

Not too much difference in power or torque but about 10% better fuel consumption for the 150.

 

150 is 150ps at 3500 rpm and 340 nm at 3000 rpm with a combined fuel consumption of 55.4 mpg
170 is 170ps at 4400 rpm and 350 nm  between 1750 and 2500 with a combined fuel consumption of 49.6 mpg

They had an unregistered one as showroom stock it Truscotts in Helson 2 weeks ago if you are set on a 170 L&K (if they still have it and you don't mind buying from a dealer in Cornwall).

There is something that doesn't look right about these figures, there isn't a typo is there ?

 

The 150 - torque does not come in till 3000 -  That cannot be diesel -  with the power 500 rpm later

The 170 - torque comes in at around 1750, with the power coming in at around 4400 - This is more diesel like as the red line start not far after .

 

The 55 mpg - if it is still petrol is the usual over optimistic manufacturers figures, the 170 figures are more achievable.

They are both diesel, the 150 is the new EU6 engine.

150ps figures are from May brochure and the 170ps figures are from the January brochure.

Indeed, it may say max torque at 3000 rpm in the Yeti brochure but that doesn't smell right.

The Audi Q3 brochure says this about the EU6 150 TDI: 340Nm/1750-2800

The Octavia says: 340Nm/1,750-3,000

The Yeti configurator has the torque the same as the Octavia.

340 nm / 1750-3000 rpm.

I'd hazard a guess that the 150 will be a nicer engine despite the power drop (and economy gains) from the 170.

 

I've got a 170 Seat Exeo ST and it's very peaky for a diesel, needs to be revved for power with little of the low down grunt you'd expect from a diesel. The old 140 was a smoother engine all round with better torque for pulling away because it had a smaller turbo which spooled up faster. The official RPM specs look wrong on the 150 but either way I'd presume it's still using a smaller turbo and produces almost the same max torque as the 170...
