g'day guys

im looking at a 2012, 1.8, 6 sp auto with 133000 on the clock

my question is, is this a good model and is there anything to look out for,

thanks Mark

Possible VERY HEAVY oil consumption from that engine that is very expensive to put right IE new engine.

Check to see if the car has had a new engine or record of an engine rebuild,   some have had.    A good model if all is well.  Servicing and maintenance done as it should be.   But you need to look at the possible issues with euro 5 1.8 TSI.s.  sadly there can be issues.  See pinned thread at top of Octavia mk3 section and search threads on here.  Has the DSG been serviced each 40,000 miles.  The Haldex every 3 years or 30,000 miles?

Welcome. 

Sorry, Just spotted you are a new member and in Australia. Missed the g'day. 

(I was on a phone when i posted and did not see this.)   

 

I assumed it was 133,000 miles and never considered it as being km. 

 

Still condition condition condition and servicing and maintenance and actual jobs done that matters.

..from what I have read about problems with the 1.8 petrol engines it's not something I would be considering.....but then again if it's already done 133k miles...and it has a suitable warranty that would cover both the engine and auto box....?

The warranty would have to be very good and get the car a new engine for a 10 year old car.  And when the warranty expires you would want to be able to get another.     A Briskoda member in the UK bought a 1.8tsi from Evan Halshaw and was fortunate enough and did all the right things and got a new engine.    There is a thread here on that.

Thanks guys, might steer clear I think 👍🏻

This is from the April 2012 Yeti specifications.

And from the dealer website.
 

And in 2010.

I believe the yeti was available from launch with the 1.8 tsi engine.

I had a 2010 1.8 tsi 160hp 4x4 elegance and a 2013 1.8 tsi 160hp 4x4 L&K

A 112TSI Yeti is a 1.8L TSI DSG (112KW = 150 BHP)  as marketed in Oz. The manuals are called 118TSI (118KW=159BHP)

👍 Yes brochure shows from launch in 2009.
It only disappeared in May 2015 when the new 2.0 TDI AdBlue engines were brought in.
