Leaving the Yeti fold - bits and pieces to go

[domhnall]

I've not yet put together a listing for the classified section as I'm not sure when the Yeti replacement arrives but I thought I'd post in here first to see if anyone's interested in the bits and bobs that will be left when the yeti does go.

 

I've got 4 Vredestein WIntrac Extreme winter tyres on steel wheels - great winter tyres all with around 7mm tread left, they've done about 8000 miles by my rough reckoning. If I can find someone localish to take these that would be best as shipping will just be a hassle. I'll even deliver locally (within reason)

 

I've got a set of rubber floor mats, a set of mud flaps which I never got round to fitting and finally I've got the spare wheel strap which rockhopper had made to allow you to store the spare wheel vertically.

 

Not sure if any of these will be of interest to anyone but if you are then let me know and we can discuss money 

 

cheers

Hi. Are the mudflaps a set of 4 and are they pre facelift?

[domhnall]

I think so and yes pre FL. I  never fitted them, they're in the garage, I will have a look later on, got to go and help someone with some VCDS coding tonight

[domhnall]

 steel grey with a briskoda sticker on the back?

 

I know of around four or five within a mile of my house - see them all the time   There's at least two other grey ones, a blue one, a black one, a white one and a green greenline  (not that I've been counting)

or mine. I know of around four or five within a mile of my house - see them all the time 

 

They must have been in hiding for three days only the one spotted .

Just be careful you dont end up selling off something that you might need again later......

 

When I traded my Skoda Superb Mk1 saloon in back in 2010, I removed the Skoda protective solid rubber bootmat that I had bought to protect the old girl.. - one of those might come in useful one day scenarios but would no doubt get thrown out when SWMBO orders a clearout...

 

Yeti came... and 60K later went...

 

Bought a brand new Skoda Superb Estate last year and was about to order a protective mat (evidently not so solid these days..) from the dealer.. ah theres that old one in the garage... i'll pop that in until I get one from the dealer..

 

Fits perfectly...

 

They may change the body shape every 10 minutes but that floorpan doesnt change much..

 

Still got all the Yeti 'extras' in the garage for when they bring back the 1.4....

I'm changing back to an octavia. The octy 2 shares the floorpan with the yeti but the new one is mqb.

Can you give me a few details re spare wheel strap, using a cargo strap mat the moment which is a bit of a faf.

Hah.... We still have a similar heavy duty rubber mat in the garage, kept it after selling our MkII, even after a house move.

It's one of those with lots of cutting grooves to fit to size, fortunately never bothered, so with luck will fit just nicely.

sorry Frenchtone has nabbed the cargo strap - if you look on Rockhopper's thread in the yeti projects section you'll see it in use as well as details of where he got it made. 

[domhnall]

jim100jam are you wanting these tyres? If not then I'll let jonbenj know

 

cheers

no worries, thanks for letting me know

[Tomo1971]

Assuming that the tyres/wheels will fit on mine (140 TDI 4x4 elegance) then I would be interested in the them

 

I am in Fife but can collect end of the week.

 

Ta :-)

sorry folks @jonbenj is coming to see the tyres tomorrow night so unless he has a change of heart then the're sold.  For future ref though the wheels on yetis, mk2 or 3 octavias and mk 6 or 7 golfs are all interchangeable. The higher profile of this tyre though (60) while it fills the yeti wheel arch nicely, is not suitable for the octavia. Octavia tyres will fit yetis but if you look at the threads from back in 2011/12 when Johann had them on his car they just look silly

[domhnall]

Tyres now sold to @jonbenj who is also a dab hand at sorting vw golf headlights (thanks again John!)
