Can you confirm this info is accurate and the source as our local (knowledgeable) dealer says that's horse poo

Supply issues have been down to supply and demand not issues with the motor. The unit is the same as fitted to the Tiguan and Cayanne so I think we'd have heard if their were longer term issues with the motors?

I too think it's to do with a shortage of glass from a supplier rather than anything to with a 'fault' in anything.

Thats exactly what I was told by John Bower Head of After Sales UK, they just cant get the volume of glass they need.

Since the sunroof has now disappeared from the configurator again (and posters on the Superb II forum can't get it either) there seems to be no possibility of ordering a sunroof any more. Whether this is because of glass supply problems, motor problems, or marketing decisions to preserve them for VW/Audi cars with their higher profit margins is immaterial to would-be purchasers.

I have also been told by Skoda Europe HQ that they will not be offering a DAB tuner for 2 to 3 years - while VWs and Audis have them now!

Skoda seem to be being pushed down-market to me to prevent them competing so well against VW/Audi. Makes you wonder why they are also pushing for larger dealerships and larger sales targets if they aren't allowed to provide the goodies customers want!

Chris,
We have had details in the past that the sunroof problem is a SUPPLY problem, and nothing else. It isn't just affecting VAG, but other makes as well.

DAB, so what!! See the thread about this. It might work in some (small) areas, but here in Mid Wales we have been told it is highly unlikely ever to work properly if at all.

Seeing as no-one else has commented on your photo of, what you have interpreted as, a Yeti dropping, I will offer a comment myself if I may be allowed. If you transfer your photo in to one of the specialist close up (hyper-macro) facilities on the web, used by zoological specialists, you will see that whilst this specimen is not dissimilar to the faeces of the Yeti, it is, in fact, more akin to the motions of a Chupacabras. This creature is, like the Yeti, quite rare - frequenting the less well populated vicinities of Central and South America, having been reportedly seen in Puerto Rico, Venezuela, Peru, Guatamala, Columbia... and Basingstoke.

You may observe that the texture of the example in your picture, Allams, is relatively open and fibrous...this is always a giveaway...the Yeti feculent disharge is, in the case of normal bowel movement, denser and more compact in composition and freshly deposited stools are almost invariably visited by Euoniticellus intermedius... a member of Aphodiinae family - Scarabaeidae....(but then you already knew that).

Clearly, Allams, you are a keen spotter of artefacts associated with Yeticrapologicalism and I trust this information will be of assistance when you are in the field and encounter similar examples in the future.

Well now, I usually levy a professional fee (plus VAT) for giving a considered opinion, and it is based upon time taken to assess the, er, matter, er, in hand.

Therein lies, or rather, does NOT lie, the, er, rub. And as you wend your way off-road, on foot, and chance upon this "offering" you can employ the following technique, as used by the Briskoda expert in these things. I long ago stopped biting my nails....(think about it).....

First stage is to reckon it looks like it. Then, that being the case the next step is to assess consistency by scooping a dollop up and rubbing it between finger and thumb.

This'll mean it has the "look and feel" that we need. At this point it is simple to form an opinion about the aroma, which should have a value logged by the extent that the nose wrinkles involuntarily. Up to now we're sure it looks, feels and smells appropriate.

Next step is to, er, assess the flavour, and this is easily accomplished by merely licking clean the finger and thumb used for the texture test.

As you straighten up to continue on your way, you can reflect that 1) it LOOKED like it, and 2) it FELT like it, even that 3) it SMELT like it, and finally 4) that it tasted like it.

Your inescapable conclusion is that it MUST BE it, and that it was a bloody good job you didn't STEP in it.

G'nite, and thanks for reading this latest bedtime story from "What The Vet Did".

Hi all,

I have been reading this forum since i want to buy a YETI, after some time i decided to register to ask a few questions.

I have driven the 1.2 tsi (3 people inside) and the power output was acceptable, my fear is that when i will load it with addtional objects/persons i wont be able to get the same out of it, so im thinking of going for the 1.4. what is your opinion?

I would also like owners to post/link some photos of the following colours - storm blue, aqua blue,mato brown, black magic,tangerine orange since im undecided and the catalogues images ive seen didnt really help out - i have seen links on first post

Best Regards from Malta,

Thomas

Hi there dawnbringer. Welcome to the forum! There are lots of answers here to be found but perhaps best to do a search on here or start new topics if you want the best answers. The MDI is mentioned in point 6 of the first point of this thread (so we don't get it in the UK and can't really comment - and too few people from other countries on here alas) and there are many, many MPG threads. Click on Search top right without filling anything in the white box. Then put your search word in and tick the Yeti forum only. Then you will get Yeti specific answers.

Hi i have had 5 adults and stuff in the boot it did not make that much difference to the way it responded with just the driver.
the sun roof has never been a problem not got one. i personally don't like them the climate control keeps the temp just right.
my av mpg is running at 42mpg thats from new with a tight engine getting anything from mid 40 to low 50 most runs are only 5-10 miles (bit less if i play with that turbo its fun) i have now done 9000miles
hope this helps with your choice
