Just off for my MOT, thought I'd check probable part numbers in anticipation of failure/advisories, and my previous sources, 

https://skoda.catalogs-parts.com/#{client:1;page:part;lang:en;region:cz;model:yeti;modification:yet;year:2013;modetype:666;group:4;subgroup:407;pnc:407007}#22 

or

https://www.lllparts.co.uk/catalogs/skoda/CZ/YET/666/4/407/407007

 

show no damper part numbers.

 

Can someone please point me towards part numbers (with option codes) for a 2013 4x4 170 please? Tried several searches without success, but that's probably me being dim. Sorry...

 

TIA.

 

Iz.

Eh? Shock absorbers are listed off the LL link / diagrams...Just click front axle, steering again

Please can you add a screenshot or something for what you're seeing? Unless I'm being dimmer than usual and misunderstanding what part numbers are, or the description 'shock absorber', the only numbers I get are illustration numbers. I'm pretty sure that the part numbers are not '22' or '411-000 etc', since 'Hexagon collar nut' has the same range of numbers:

How did the MOT go?

I can look up part numbers for you if you supply reg plate or VIN. The 411-000 page does exist on LLL, if you go up one level and then look for matching page numbers in the lower right corner of each thumbnail, but the other two - 010 and 020 are missing, as you say.

 

 

@Breezy_Pete: Thanks for that. I am being dimmer than usual. Clearly not observant enough.

 

Passed with advisories. Looking (for an excuse) to replace shocks & springs (B4+Eibach), and rear upper & lower arms. I'd like to keep standard ride height if at all possible.

The rears are unambiguous, but my build code sheet (Vehicle-specific Information) for my VIN has fronts as G06 and L66, which I'm assuming are shock and spring respectively, giving me a 3C--BC shock and a 1K--DM spring. 1K--BL shows L66 too, but that appears to be only in combination with a G02 shock (not mine). Have I understood that correctly?

 

Thanks for your time, BTW.

 

 

Yes, I think you've understood correctly. 👍

We replaced our previous 2015 Yeti's with Bilstein shocks, Sachs springs and Febi top mounts. Can't say it felt any different from the originals, which is a good thing I suppose, but no big improvements either- I thought the ride might have improved a little.

🎉 Not as dim as I thought! Thanks for your input!

That's disappointing, that was my aim with the B4s and Eibachs, I've read good things here about that particular combo. I know you shouldn't change more than one thing at once to find a problem cause, but I'm also in need of some new tyres, and want to change anything that requires a geo check before I splash for new boots...

 

Does Eibach offer a standard ride height spring set, or are they all lowered?

Can't speak for the Eibachs - I had lowered ones about 20 years ago and the ride was terrible, so once bitten, never again. If it's ride improvement, I would have a really good read of all tyre reviews, and not 'just' what people say they have.

 

I had a Volvo hybrid which was very stiffly sprung, so was terribly crashy on local potholed roads, but fine on smoother A roads. I actually ended up buying (counter-intuitively) 18 rather than 17 wheels but fitting some very soft sidewall tyres that tyre review.com and other owners rated highly for ride comfort. I had never heard of them but we're cheap enough to take a gamble. Debica Presto made by Goodyear.

Maybe you can find one that works for the Yeti ? I've stuck to Goodyear Vector 4 Seasons and Michelin Cross Climates so far on our Yetis, as the ride is ok but not brilliant in my view.
