Hi All

 

So when I bought my yeti from the dealer it did not even come with a manual, service book and not even a sticker on the rear floor!!. I am trying to work out the kerb weight so I can work out the 85% for towing. 

 

I have downloaded a owner manual from the Skoda website for my 2010 20 tdi 110 2wd model but don't see anything claiming kerb weight. I only see something in the tech specs as Unloaden weight ready for work which says 1420 kg. I thought the kerb weight was 1377 with the googling I had been doing.

 

Can anyone advise 

 

Thanks

Is this on the vin plate?

Is there anything at the bottom of B Pillar Drivers Side?

 

Where is the VIN Sticker from the Spare Tyre Well.

Has the Yeti had extensive body repairs.

(Has the car had the VW Fix, and Sticker in the Spare Tyre Well?)

in my late pre fl adventure the book says 1700kg 8% slope and 1500 12% slope however petrol 1.8  max permiss gross wgt  2085,  kerb wgt with75kg driver 1660  hope this helps, but must admit the paper manual is a bit cr**py!

Hi 

 

The dealer says no body work has been done (although we all know what dealers are like). I do have the plate as in the picture on the drivers door pillar but from what I remember these don't contain the kerb weight. It's def not going near the dealer for the fix.

From the Skoda website for the 2.0 110ps .

Hi Llanigraham

 

I thought the top figure was max weight of the vehicle. My figure 1 shows 1965

Wow - that's a lot a beer carting capacity!

 

This might help, you still need the cars / manufacturers figure as will get checked if ever at the road side.

No, it is the "gross vehicle weight" otherwise known as the kerb weight

Internet is just so dangerous.

 

Gross Vehicle Weight or Revenue weight, max load allowable,  very different from 'Kerb Weigh / Unladen Weight'.

That's both ends of the spectrum in one!

"Gross vehicle weight" is the maximum allowable vehicle weight and "kerb weight" is the vehicle weight empty with perhaps a tank of fuel.

As you would say - NO WRONG!

 

Gross is everything. Use the weight on the V5c.
