Hello All, Newbie here!

 

on the search for a Yeti 4x4 1.8 TSI, any advice?  my preference would be a 2013 model but interested in everything.

 

If anyone knows someone looking to sell i'd much appreciate it, if not, all advice welcome!

 

Many thanks,

Welcome to the forum.

 

Best read up on the possible issues you can have with a Euro 5 1.8TSI engine.

Look at the pinned thread at the top of the Mk2 Octavia Section and maybe do a search in the Yeti section.

There are obviously engines with no issues, but then there are also vehicles that have had engines rebult or replaced.

Hi

 

There are about 15 for sale on Autotrader at the moment ranging between £5k and £13k.

Just tweak the search to fuel type = petrol and engine size = 1.8 min to 1.8 max to save scrolling through irrelevant ones.

 

Make sure you find one with a very full history as the previous poster is spot on.

 

I remember driving a launch model 1.8Tsi back in 2009 (?) and severely irritating a new SLK200 owner who couldn't keep up around the roundabouts and dual carriageways of Milton Keynes. A lot of fun and I'm sure a remap on a sound engine would be funnier.

 

 

As above, check out the problem pages re 1.8s.

 

You would be better off with a 1.4 IMHO...the later ones are 150hp and are more than quick enough...and quite good mpg to boot...
