For those of you that own a 4x4 Yeti, have you ever wondered how much or how little your car is actually running in 4 wheel drive while you're casually driving around? Well wonder no more as I plugged in our Autel in once again and recorded our drive as Alana and myself went about our normal weekend business. I plucked out a few of the clips and talked through what I personally thought was going on at different points in the video.

Tyres fitted very relevant.

It would be good to be repeating in same conditions but something like the ECO Bias OEM tyres you get and then Upgraded tyres as some might fit, All Season / All Weather / Wet weather tyres, or on All Terrains on Road.

In the video above, we had Falken Wildpeak AT3Wa all terrain tyres fitted which are 215/65/16. I'd more than happily carry out back-to-back tests, I would just need a testing ground to keep the route equal, a tyre machine to change the tyres and for a tyre supplier to lend me all different tyres to test 😁. The videos main purpose is just to give people the idea of what there car is doing at different road scenarios. 😀 But I do agree that running different tyres with different conditions could make for a fascinating video to see how hard or little the Haldex does work. 😀

My Testing ground overs the years was my local roads, different seasons / weather, and also my offroad outings, a tyro can be very different according to the weather / ground conditions.

Different tyres but on rims, change wheels / tyres for different outings or seasons.

Some tyres were and are Jacks of All trades, kind of like what you are running in the video.

Hi @Chua 👋. I love hearing from other owners that have modified their Yeti. Hopefully a few more Yeti or just fellow VAG owners in general will come out of the woodwork with their off-road or overlanding cars so we can all share ideas with things that work or things that just really don't work 😄. Your car looks great and I'm always going to be jealous of your near white sandy beaches you have over there 😎. Although I hear that the corrugated roads are not too enjoyable 🙈😁. Have you got any pictures of the side awning and shower awning setup? Alana's idea is to slowly turn our Yeti into something overland spec over time 😀.

So far driving around WA. I’ve not come across many corrugated bitumen roads. Some dirt roads yes but rarely tarmac.

I’ll take more pictures of the setup over the weekend when I get back home.
