Yeti - Skoda's first crossover. The world premiere took place within the framework of Geneva Motor Show in March 2009. The model production began on May 12, 2009. Russian sales of the car started in November 2009. The car is a symbiosis of unique design, safety, functionality and comfort.
Yeti is built on the Volkswagen A5 platform in the PQ35 version. The closest "relative" crossover can be called the Skoda Octavia Scout model, compared to which the novelty has an increased to 180 mm ground clearance. Compact sizes of crossover guarantee easy handling and maneuverability in the city. At first glance at Yeti, all attention is immediately attracted to the massive bumper and the radiator grille, surrounded by four headlights. The car profile is separated by a kind of raised roof line, expressive contours of the central and rear Stand Body. The original and very friendly appearance of Skoda Yeti hides under him technically advanced units and nodes from the Maternal Volkswagen concern.
The interior of the 5-seater Yeti is practical and rational. In the cabin is spacious, a higher landing gives passengers a sense of security and the best overview. Specially designed dashboard Underlinks the restrained interior design. The car has a sufficient amount of storage space. Seats with dense packing, lateral support and lumbar bending regulator will provide passengers for convenience and comfort in long trips. The VARIOFLEX system allows you to transform each of their three seats of the rear row. Thanks to this system, it is possible to change the internal space of the car with almost no limit, if necessary, increasing the loading space up to 1760 liters.
The engine line consists of a pair of gasoline 16-valve aggregates of the TSI series and a 2-liter TDI turbodiesel. The transversely installed "four" TSIs work with direct fuel injection in combustion chambers and turbocharging. The base front-wheel drive version is equipped with an engine 1.2 liters TSI (105 hp). Time-tested 1.8-liter TSI (152 hp) is joined with all-wheel drive transmissions 4motion. For all-wheel drive options, a two-liter turbodiesel with a capacity of 170 horses is also proposed, and in front-wheel drive, the power of this motor is 110 horsepower. As a transmission - a manual six-speed gearbox, robotic six or seven-speed DSG.
Skoda Yeti got the highest rating of "five stars" based on the results of crash tests conducted by Euro NCAP. Active safety provides bixenon headlamps with rotary modules. Electronic stabilization systems are helping to avoid: ESP, EDS, AFM, HBA DSR, ABS, MSR, EBV, ESBS and ASR. To reduce the likelihood of hitting the rear, with emergency braking, the flashing function of stop signals is activated. Passive safety provides up to nine airbags, including a seat cushion for driver and airbags for passengers on the rear seats, a special engine mount and pedals.
Skoda Yeti can rightfully be called a multi-purpose CD-class car for a family of 3-4 people, pleasant in all respects and useful in domestic trips. He will delight the potential buyer with high-quality assembly, cost-effective engines and in German solve solo materials.
In 2013, within the framework of the International Motor Show in Frankfurt, Skoda introduced an updated model Yeti 2014. The car is now offered in two versions: City for the city and outdoor for off-road. City Version Received Bumpers and Side Protective Moldings Body Color. The outdoor modification is distinguished by a more off-road decor in the form of unscreased plastic linings on the thresholds and bumpers, plus pseudo-protection in front - silver pad on the bumper. Also, this version has increased angles of geometric patency. Both versions received an updated appearance, recycled interior, wide range of engines, new alloy wheels, road clearance 180 mm and several additional configuration options.
The main changes undergoes the nasal part of the crossover. The car received new headlights, as well as rectangular fog lights instead of the former round. Now fog lights are located at the bottom of the bumper, and not next to the heads, as it was in the dorestayling version. As an option, you can order Bixenon and LED running lights. As for the lattice of the radiator, then its shape and sizes also changed slightly, and the hood with the longitudinal fins is now crowned with a new company logo. The rear of the crossover got a slightly modified trunk lid with another in-depth form under the license plate, as well as new C-shaped lights and rectangular reflectors. Looking at the design of the Restalling Skoda Yeti 2014, the essence of the company's new concept becomes clear - care from smooth lines to more stringent and accurate. Designers added four types alloy wheels A new attractive design, as well as four new body colors: White (Moon White), Green (Metal Gray) and Brown (Magnetic Brown) - All metallic.
Changes inside Skoda Yeti 2014 look not so cardinal as outside. Here, first of all, it is worth noting the appearance of a new 3-spoke steering wheel, which has 7 options for design, better finishing materials and decorative linings on the front panel.
One of the main innovations available for the restyled version is the new parking assistant to which the rear view camera can additionally be ordered. It is activated immediately when the reverse transmission is turned on and displays the image to the multimedia system screen. Also, the car can be equipped with an automatic next-generation parking assistant, which is able to independently park the car both parallel to the strip for movement and perpendicular to it. The innovative system itself determines the start point of the maneuver and the optimal trajectory, and in the event of a risk of collision or exceeding the speed of 7 km / h, initiating emergency braking. Another useful feature in the new version of the crossover is the keyless access technology, allowing without using the key to close and open the car, as well as run the engine by pressing the button.
In addition to new features, the updated Skoda Yeti offers both familiar elements for comfort. They include panoramic hatch, modern dual-zone climate control "Climatronic", heated front seats, cruise control, heating windshield And the electric drive of the driver's seat.
The system of folding the rear seats Varioflex remains unchanged, which gives salon unique abilities to transformation. So, three rear seats can be addressed individually or removed. If the middle seat is removed, the extreme seats can be shifted in the longitudinal, and in transverse directions. There is a folding back of the front passenger's chair, and folding tables in the backs of the front seats, a mass of gloves and pockets, bottles and glasses holders. Volume luggage compartment 405 liters. If you remove the rear seats completely, the amount of useful space will increase to an impressive figure of 1760 liters.
Yeti 2014 is available both in front-wheel drive and all-wheel drive version (on the rear axle moment is transmitted through the Haldex clutch of the fifth generation, previously was the Haldex fourth generation). Buyers will be able to choose one of the three gasoline and four diesel engines (only one is available in Russia), as well as the 6-speed mechanical or 6/7-speed DSG. The starting level gasoline engine has a volume of 1.2 liters and 105 hp power. Other two gasoline motors of 1.4 and 1.8 liters are able to develop power 122 and 152 hp respectively. Modifications with motors 1.2 TSI and 1.4 TSI have only a front-wheel drive configuration and completed either 6-speed mechanical box Transmissions or 7-speed "robot" DSG. Skoda Yeti 1.8 TSI has a four-wheel drive, and in the tandem with the engine, one of the 2 types of transmissions works - the same 6-speed "mechanics" or a 6-speed DSG. Line of diesel engines includes: 1.4 TDI - 140 hp and 320 N * m, 1.6 TDI - 150 hp and 250 N * m, 2.0 TDI - 110 hp and 280 N * m, 2.0 TDI - 170 hp and 350 N * m.
Skoda Yeti remains consistently high quality in terms of security. Per passive security Reply: Children's fastening system seat isofix, 9 airbags, three-point seat belts on the front row with tensioners and height adjustable head restraints. Active safety increases due to ESC (course stability system) and ABS (anti-lock brake system), which are installed as standard equipment. Motor torque control system (MSR), anti-slip system (ASR) and Electronic Differential Block (EDS). The front fog lights can be optionally equipped with an angular review feature. Optionally, the car can be equipped with electronic assistants to exit / hide a mountain, electronic control sensors in tires.
The car really turned out very peculiar. Despite the fact that Yeti is sold in Russia without a small couple of years, in the stream of cars it still looks like a white crow. His name looks non-serious for a solid car, and the expression "face muzzle" is the subject of endless disputes. The technically savvy people are also alarming more modest engine litters: the base motor with a working volume of 1.2 liters and for a small city typewriter will seem insufficient, and on the crossover and looks at all the nonsense! But for a long time, this motor remained a non-alternative option for those who wanted gasoline car with "automatic".
Oils in the fire were added to the dealers themselves: those "Yeti", which were in stock, often turned out to be stupid by unnecessary ordinary customer options. Agree, you need to have a fair determination to purchase a "PARTNER" with a motor 1.2 price under a million! For such money you can already choose an SUV more powerful and more suitable. All this did not allow the "Skod" to rise above the modest tenth place in the sales ranking.
After an all-wheel drive version of 1,8stSi appeared in August with a "robot" DSG, the sale of Yeti went uphill. Now dealers are actively expanding stocks in warehouses, attracting a variety of modifications with equipment and prices for every taste.
"Yeti" does not apply to the number of cars that sell themselves. Only after the first kilometers he is able to completely show his advantages. Choose this car can be an enthusiastic young lady, and a ridked gray uncle without complexes. Sellers, by the way, do not cease to be surprised at how adults, being driving the "Czech", begin to rejoice as children are small.
How much is?
Easy to evaluate the price advantages of "Yeti" to a close acquaintance with him. For the basic "asset-1,2" are asked 729,000 rubles - now it is much cheaper than other models "Golf" -class. And the nearest competitors ASX and Cascai are more expensive at 20 and 51 thousand, respectively. At the same time, Skoda can boast a decent basic equipment, which includes air conditioning and full electrobacts, as well as heated mirrors, seats and glasswater nozzles. A man of modest requests is enough to add alarm and MP3 magnetol to this set - and then for 749,600 it will get quite convenient front-wheel drive crossover. If you do not take into account chinese manufacturers, then "Active-1,2TSI" can be considered the most advantageous offer among crossovers.
Moreover, "Yeti" with the ACP, in the role of which the "robot" of DSG is even more profitable. The price of the box bite (60,000 rubles), but in addition you will receive an ESP. And if you compare such a "Skoda" with competitors, it turns out that "Nissan" and "Mitsubishi" with an automatic forcing to surrender to much more expensive modifications with powerful and expensive motors. Therefore, it is not surprising that 1,2DSG is the most popular version of Yeti.
But the engine, like the "Passat", and the four-wheel drive translate "Skoda" completely to another price category. "Asset-1,8tsi" is already from 929 thousand with "mechanics" and 969 thousand with DSG. In this configuration, "Yeti" turns into a full "PARTNER". It is such a "Skoda" can confidently resist the thoroughbred competitors from Europe - "Tiguan" and "Kuga". And at the same time it turns out noticeably cheaper than any of them.
The disorder comes, it is only worth looking into the price list of additional equipment. Some of the unreasonably road options. And if from unwaited navigation for 76,400 rubles. or from panoramic roof for 41,600 rubles. It is easy to refuse, I don't want to sacrifice security at all. And such a temptation is: if you appreciate the fuet of "sideways", window and knee for the driver of the airbags laid by default pillows, then the price of the car will increase by 51,700 rubles. In fairness it is worth noting that airbags can be added selectively.
Prices for other positions are also high: skin-sheathed three-spoke steering wheel costs 11,800, metallic - 15,800, parking sensors in front and rear - 25,600 rubles. But even, despite the indisputability of options, the all-wheel drive "Skoda" still remains a profitable acquisition! To be neat when choosing, even the all-wheel drive 1,8tsi will be able to put in a million. I wake up a hundred thousand on a hundred, you get a car equipped with "Volkswagen" and "Ford", but at the same time 8-12% cheaper than "Tiguana" and "Kuga".
Do not forget about the beneficial cheap options that are not very noticeable at the final price, and joy will bring tangible. The tray under the right seat, a table with cup holders in the back of the central armchair of the rear row, a double sunscreen visor, a glacial - there are similar trivia within one or two thousand rubles. And although the "Yeti" configured for itself will have to wait three to four months, the wait is worth it, believe it!
Outside and inside
Evaluating the Skoda from a practical point of view, I want to praise its creators for a very relevant body kit out of unpacked plastic around the perimeter and sensible moldings. Luck body with such protection will save much easier.
The interior of the car in counterweights of the frivolous appearance looks surprisingly adults and thoroughly thought out. According to the quality of materials, the salon fully corresponds to the class of an expensive car from Europe. As with most competitors, plastic soft and very pleasant to the touch. Regardless of whether the cabin was separated by expensive skin or a democratic cloth, it looks high. Buyer Waves to choose the interior decoration to his taste - up to the color of the plastic. If the gray palette creates longing, then you can ask to fulfill the interior in bright sand tones.
The salon pleases the scor. And this is despite a small wheelbase. Rear enough space and in the legs, and above your head, and the width of the sofa allows you to accommodate two adult passengers with an acceptable comfort, to a heap put on the central part of the teenager. The very organization of the rear row is worthy of imitation. The chairs can move forward-back in the range of 15 cm, and the back has four positions - the angle of inclination is also adjustable. At first glance, individual chairs seem pretty hard and narrow. But both the shape, and the filler, and the profile, and the adjustments give the work of specialists who know in ergonomics of landing.
The central narrow part of the sofa can be removed, and the side seats shifted on a tet of centimeters closer to each other. In such a 4-seater configuration in "Yeti" can comfortably accommodate even the people of the Bogatyr Committee.
It goes without saying, the engineers did not forget about the convenience of the front passenger. Do not save 2300 rubles, abandoning the adjustments of the chair in height: thanks to them it is easier to transfer the long road.
Wegor suitcases
It is worth opening the fifth door and your eye appears although quite modest in size, but it has a regular trunk, equipped with practical hooks and fasteners. Even if you are traveling a fisty, you can easily capture with you the three biggest suitcase - for this it is necessary to remove the shelf with just only.
Engineers have provided the ability to turn the interior into a cargo platform with a smooth meter size per half. The total useful cargo volume in this case will be 1.76 m 3. It is already comparable to best Universals. At the same time, truth will have to be unscrewed from the floor in the trunk caches from foam and remove the "spare tire". But such measures will help to make good deeds - for example, help friends with relocation. And then there will be a queue to rejoice in the possibilities of your "Yeti".
Finally, if you pay 3,500 rubles. For the folding back of the front armchair, you can carry even a ski in the cabin with a length of up to 2.5 m without a tangible loss in passenger complex. Perhaps you are unlikely to have another compact crossover with such generous transformation capabilities!
Behind the wheel
You will probably please simple, but effective solutions behind the wheel "Yeti". First you will have to get used to the more vertical than in other machines, landing. But as soon as you adapt, you will understand that she promises solid advantages. You are always, for example, the dimensions of the machine will be visible, including the edges of the hood. And, remembering that the feed ends immediately behind the rear "janitor", it will be possible not to spend money on the parking sensor.
Thanks to the careful study of the driver's chair, it is not tired even after a day in Moscow traffic jams. The seat was created taking into account the individuals of the most different setting. The height can be varied within 8 cm, and the range of longitudinal adjustment is 27 cm. And only a thumbnail is rising below 160 cm, you may be present on an excessively raised front edge of the pillow.
And although the salon "Skoda" thought out very cool, to find fault in the "Yeti" there is something. For example, quickly rotating the steering wheel, you can hook the tape recorder adjusting the tape recorder located on the spoke. Or "Volkswagenovsky" joystick adjusting the mirrors located on the vertical plane of the door panel. Managing them, it is necessary to unnaturally turn the brush of the left hand. But it was on the former "golf" and "trade winds" and is available on many "Skoda". Such a disadvantage can be safely neglected, because the joystick is necessary to manipulate the joystick.
If you prefer to sit closer to the steering wheel, lowered it down, you will find that the steering wheel overlaps the top of the speedometer. It is possible to solve the question by ordering the "Maxi-Dot" display: in it, the speed is duplicated on the screen between the analog appliances scales.
On the roads ...
The basic turbocked engine volume of only 1197 "Cubes" is lucky as many 1.6-liter units do not know. At least up to 80 km / h Yeti accelerates easily, but with increasing speed, jumping gradually subsides. If at the speed for a hundred it is necessary to overtake the squabble, then you will not need to put pressure on the floor - enough and half the pedal stroke. DSG instantly scores three steps, slipping the motor instead of the seventh transfer third, and you will feel confident pickup. Near the "Yeti" and in advance, transferring the box to the sports mode. And then the engine turnover will not be asked below 2000 rpm.
Such a conquest is 105-strong motor thanks to turbocharging. Torque in 175 NM comes from 1500 rpm. Only after a speed of 120-130 km / h you begin to feel that the possibilities of the motor are not limitless. It should be noted that with the "mechanics", thanks to the short (4.35: 1) the main pair, the engine 1,2TSI gets no less harmonious. The motor is not guaranteed not to stall even in those who are not too delicately operate with a long clutch pedal.
With a 152-strong engine of 1.8 liters of "Yeti" rides even more. Almost fifty additional "horses" allow you to get rid of the feeling of power deficit, which is present at the wheel of the basic version. But with such a "Yeti" should be kept in my head some nuances. For example, with a non-sore ride, 1,8stSI with MCP unexpectedly turns out to be demanding of revolutions than a weaker motor. The powerful power unit is much longer than the main pair, and the moment of pickup, when the turbine goes to effective revolutions, is perceived much brighter. So as a result, rhythm driving is somewhat torn, and it is possible to level it only in one way - twisted the motor from the bottom, which is not always convenient.
From the point of view of controlling the closest to the ideal of 1,8stSi with a "robot" DSG. The turboyami effect here is not so pronounced, and thanks to the sports mode, it can be reduced to no, and you always get a flat thorough traction. The car accelerates so quickly that ride on it in the framework of traffic rules is a trial! Against this background and powerful brakes turn out to be placed. To stay with 100 km / h, you will need only 38 m, which is hardly not best result Among classmates.
As for the chassis, here "Yeti" can be recognized as an almost round excellent person. Directly on a spoiled slicer asphalt car holds well. By the way, the stability will be even higher if you prefer 17-inch by regular 16-inch wheels. And although the suspension will seem harsh, in a short time you recognize it quite comfortable. And although Skoda is sometimes overlooking, but the chassis does not allow the swing on the wave and easily smoothes the large potholes.
Quietly in the cabin under any conditions, and in the mode of measured movement, and with a consideration of acceleration. The most low noise turned out to be the base engine, and the larger 1.8 will be drumming a little louder. From other sounds can be presented on the rumble of the wheel arches when the car goes on the rough asphalt.
The actual consumption of the base engine is only about 9 liters in the city and 8-8.5 liters on the highway at a speed of 120 km / h. Over the city of 1,8tsi, only a liter of voracious, and in urban traffic should count on 12 liters per hundred. It should be noted that with a long ride in the "gas to floor" mode, both engines swallow gasoline buckets - up to 15 liters.
And without them
On the off-road front-wheel drive base "Yeti" - in fact, the usual car. But the 1,8stSI-4X4 easily capable of coming the trails, inaccessible to most "non-raised" machines. During Skoda, "Skoda" should be recognized quite decent: "Haldex" coupling, distributing the moment, works with pretension; And therefore any claims to the speed of it will not arise. And the geometric permeability of the crossover is worthy: cardan Val. and graduation system Hang above the thresholds level - and this, by the way, impressive 22 cm. Plastic protection from the Earth is separated by 18 cm.
The passability of "Skoda" would be even better, whether the car did not have such a long front svel, which hurts at the storm of the bugs. In addition, it is necessary to be able to finely control the burden, with DSG awareness, again, again, is easier than by car with "mechanics". By the way, the 1.8-liter "Yeti" is equipped with a 6-speed DSG with "wet" discs, which is more reliable than the seven-step "dry". So even naughtered insertion, you are unlikely to turn the transmission.
Safety
With regard to Skoda's safety, keeps the bar high. In the EuroNCAP tests, the car won 33 points, becoming a round excellent student. For the attachment of children's chairs on the back chairs there are hinges of Isofix. As it should be, you can use the "Children's" blocking rear doors and windows.
Such a high rating in the crash tests received "Yeti" with 7 pillows and active head restraints in front. Today it is a necessary minimum that must be on modern car. In Russia, the "Yeti" in the first two versions of only two pillows, and two more added in the top configuration. However, buyers can accomplish at their own expense: in the case of the optimal level of the "asset", this can be done for 40,200 rubles. - So much is a set of pillows hidden in the sidewalls, inflatable "curtains" for the entire length of the cabin and knee air-beha under the wheel. The last chord can be the rear side pillows for 10,500 rubles.
Operation, service
In terms of the maintenance of Yeti, it is not allocated special. The interservice interval is standard for most European cars - 15,000 km run or once a year. Additional work on replacing candles, liquids, filters or a waste / collapse check dealers are not imposed, but only recommended in cases where it is really necessary. It turns out that at the most expensive even then it is necessary to postpone about 13-15 thousand rubles.
The car warranty is valid for two years without a mileage limit. At the same time, there is no shortage of dealer centers in the capitals: so, for example, in Moscow 19, in St. Petersburg 10, and the total Skoda network spread on 69 cities of Russia.
"Yeti" can not be unequivocally called women's, youth, family, or an Starikovsky car. Shouter, comfortable, with noble interior decoration and the most wide in the class of transformation capabilities of the salon, it will also immediately allocate you as a person free from stereotypes. And if thoughtfully approach the choice of options, you will receive within 1.1 million rubles, perhaps the most profitable compact crossover.
Source - Magazine driving
The Skoda Yeti car is not in vain received its name, consonant with the name of a snowy man. This is a reliable and confident SUV, showing excellent running characteristics. In addition, the designers have worked well. The result was the original, modern and recognizable design. In 2013, the restyling model Skoda Yeti was released. Modernization did not affect the overall structure of the body. But some details were changed and improved.
In the profile, the car looks no less attractive. Volumetric wheeled arches immediately attract attention. The lower part of the body is supplemented with plastic body kit. Along the side part there are clear, convex lines that complement the common style of this SUV. Two spoilers are located on the roof, in some grades, the roof is equipped with panoramic hatch.
The back of the body also looks interesting. Immediately attracts attention to the triangle, which placed a place for a license plate.
In general, the design of the exterior of the car is called up to become an expression of the place in which Skoda Yeti will hold more of its time. These are the features of the city SUV. Since this style is the lead, then the characteristic details are such as moldings, bodies and other painted in the body color.
The manufacturer made a gift to fans of the model. Now for even greater expression of the body, you can paint into two colors: one shade is offered for the roof, and another one is offered for the roof. At the same time both colors perfectly complement each other.
Overall dimensions of Skoda Yeti crossover Such: Length - 4.223 meters, width - 1.793 meters, height - 1.691 meters.
Interior Skoda Yeti.
The compact model of Skoda Yeti SUV causes a rustling interest in many lovers. The car undoubtedly universal and has excellent dynamic characteristics, which finds an expression in the interior design of the cabin. Internally, the car is striking with its scoring and some kind of air. This impression is created quite large for the compact crossover window, a roof with a panoramic view and side elements. If you compare this model with others in this class, it can be confidently called the most spacious and roomy. It was possible to achieve such a result due to the well-thought-out structure of the body and the competent use of free space.
In this model, the developers tried to take into account all the details to create maximum comfort inside the cabin. This is a comfortable fit, and comfortable chairs and steering wheel, as well as a great overview in all directions. The steering wheel is very comfortable, we can say that they drive them only with the tips of the fingers.
For the interior decoration, only high-quality materials that were chosen with special care are used. Internally space not only has a noble and luxurious style, but also well equipped.
It is worth noting a convenient location on the instrument panel of sensors, so that the driver can quickly and conveniently view the necessary data.
The car is equipped with modern electronic systems, including the entertainment system. Thanks to her in the cabin there will be the perfect sound of favorite compositions. Also new model acquired a rear view chamber.
A plastic pallet is available as additional options for the luggage compartment. The volume of the trunk itself is small and is 322 liters. But it can be easily enlarged, folding the rear armchairs. Then it will be equal to 1760 liters, which is already quite a lot.
As for safety, the car is equipped with electronic systems that help in managing the machine, and safety pillows. Also in the cabin there are special attachments for children's chairs.

Prices for Skoda Yeti
In Russia, the Skoda Yeti crossover is available in three sets: Active, Ambition, Elegance. Each configuration is offered to choose different models Motors I. additional options. The basic version of Skoda Yeti will cost 729 thousand rubles. In the configuration of Active cars costs 729-789 thousand rubles, in aMBITION configuration - 789-1089 thousand rubles, in the configuration Elegance - 912-1152 thousand rubles.
As part of the strategy of "Czczuchy Expansion", the Volkswagen concern is trying to get about the same shares of the automotive market in the budget, medium-valued and premium segments, which is why many models exist at once in two, and even in three horses
Of course, these models have a different exterior, and due to different positioning differ from each other with the choice of power units and additional equipment, although from a technical point of view, such machines are identical. This is perfectly seen on the example of compact crossovers - in the premium segment, this is the Audi Q3 model, the Volkswagen Tiguan is located in the average range, and in the budget (in European understanding), the class is Skoda Yeti.
If you put their appearance in chronological order, then the first in 2007 appeared ancestor - Volkswagen Tiguan., In 2011, a premium Audi Q3, well, and our hero - Skoda Yeti - saw the light across them between them, in 2009. By choosing young buyers as a reference point, designers gave the appearance of Yeti slightly avant-garde appearance, which did not better affect sales In countries with conservative tastes - in Russia these cars are sold almost half less than Tiguan, despite the cost of the Czech car below by about a third.
However, in the light of the current economic situation, the situation will be corrected, since the last two years the model has a Russian "origin" - at the end of 2012 on gas squares in Nizhny Novgorod The large-sized assembly of Skoda Yeti was started, and from the beginning of 2013, a full cycle of production was started.
In addition, in 2013, a restyling model was held, during which its appearance was relief from unnecessary avant-garde and led them to the new corporate appearance of models of this brand. However, on the secondary market, the updated version is found quite rarely, but many suggestion of dorestayling cars, quite affordable. In the choice of a suitable copy, the advice of Avtoexpert Elena Lisovskaya will help us, the head of the Trejd-in company "Revolt".
Motor selection
In order not to create internal competition and emphasize the positioning of the Skoda Yeti stage below than Volkswagen Tiguan, the Czech engines have a working volume less on the "glass". If the main motors of the German crossover are 1.4 and 2 l gasoline volumes, then for Cech, this is 1.2 and 1.8 liters, respectively. However, competition still arose, since the diesel 2-liter engine was one at all. Perhaps that is why the Czech car was completed only until the end of 2010, and a newly power unit on heavy fuel appeared only at the raster money.
In the secondary market, Skoda Yeti with Diesel, it is possible to meet extremely rarely, but it is necessary to immediately warn that for this motor is characterized by the encoding of the throttle and the intake manifold valve in the open position due to the wear of the plastic gear in the system of its drive. This happens when there is more than 200 thousand km run, and you can diagnose the problem by the throttle squeezed lid. The new throttle assembly will cost 8000-9,000 rubles for the original and 3000-4000 rubles for non-original, intake manifold - in 24-27 thousand rubles. Work on replacement costs 2000-3000 rubles.
However, if you are looking for Skoda Yeti in the all-wheel drive version, the choice is small: either diesel, or a 1.8-L gasoline engine, which existed in BZB and CDA modifications. Motors BZB, collected until mid-2010, have one unpleasant feature - the transition chain champ chain when running more than 70-100 thousand km. The culprit is the chain tensioner. One of the concomitant reasons for this is the situation in which the car is put on a slope with the transmission enabled, but without manual brakes. At this point, the engine does not work, the oil pressure in the system is missing and the chain tensioner is weakened, and the pusher of the TNVD contributes to the formation of the folds of the chain in the area of \u200b\u200bthe camshafts. When starting the motor, the tensioner does not have time to stretch the chain, and it skips.
The 1.8 TSI engine with the CDA index is famous for an increased oil consumption (up to 1 l for 2000-3000 km) when running over 50-80 thousand km. At the end of 2011, Remkomplekt was released, which includes upgraded pistons and rings. On cars where it is installed, the problem of an enhanced oil consumption has practically outlived itself.
Constructive feature Engine 1.8 TSI is the presence of a system of accelerated catalyst warming. During the first minute after starting, an additional fuel injection is performed on the output tact, which ensures fast warming Catalyst and more efficient fuel hurry at the heating stage. The sound of the engine at this moment becomes "diesel", but do not be scared - this is normal.
The same sound can "please" and the most common gas engine 1.2 TSI, but in this case, such a hard sound is a sign of a malfunction - stretching the timing chain and the failed tensioner. As a rule, the problem appears already when running 25 thousand km. In 2011, the node was upgraded, and, according to the manufacturer, at the moment the problem is solved.
Another problem of this engine is a sharp drop in power at the time of the start of the car movement, while the motor rests on the limiter at a mark of 1500 rpm and light bulb lights up Check Engine" It happened when running more than 20-50 thousand km, and the reason was covered in the turbocharger. Initially, dealers were replaced by a turbine, the cost of which is about 45-60 thousand rubles. Later, the manufacturer has found a simpler way to combat this attack: setting an additional spacer washer into a turbocharger and reprogramming the engine control unit. The "brains" solved another problem - slow engine warming up and, as a result, the car's salon. Only since the beginning of 2012, an additional electric heater was introduced into the ventilation system, which partly took off this question.
Other "Iron"
The mechanical gearbox can be installed in a pair with any of the engines, but problems with it occur when combined with 1.8 TSI. It is more often an unpleasant screech when driving under load or dashing, the cause of which is a worn clutch disc. It happens when running at least 80-100 thousand km, and the replacement of clutch assembly will cost about 30 thousand rubles.
Robotic DSG 6 with wet clutch is set to a pair of 1.8 TSI motor and is considered quite reliable, and all other engines are forced to be content with DSG 7 with dry clutches, the problems of which are in hearing everyone. But it will not be further reminded that the oil in such a box is recommended to change every 60 thousand km, which costs about 10 thousand rubles (6000 rubles - oil, 1000 - filter and 3000 rubles - work).
IN basic configuration Skoda Yeti front-wheel drive, and in more expensive equipment full drive system in the car drives Haldex coupling fourth generation. In it, the main thing is not to forget to change the oil every 60 thousand km. If this is neglected, may fail the electric pumping pump, the repair kit for which will cost 10 thousand rubles.
In the Skoda Yeti suspension, the only weak place is the backlash of the silent blocks of the front levers, which is accompanied by a noticeable creak. The cost of the lever assembly is about 7,000 rubles.
The front brake pads serve more than 30-40 thousand km. A set of new original will cost 2500-3000 rubles. Neoriginal cheaper - from 1000 to 1500 rubles. Rear brake pads walk more than 80 thousand km.
The most unexpected and unpleasant claim is to the quality of body gland and painting Skoda Yeti. Already after the first winter season In places of chipping, the paint is exhausted - it most often happens on the doors and in the area of \u200b\u200bthe rear wheeled arches. In the warranty period, dealers repaint such body parts, and then these procedures will then have to do for their money. So the Council from the popular movie "Yeti needs to wash more often!" It is impossible to be relevant, especially after driving on the treated reagents of the Winter Streets. However, after two or three years of operation, it is still beginning to break out the emblems on the hood and the doors of the trunk, and also darkens the chrome on the bar of the radiator grille. But even in "greenhouse" conditions, chrome elements of the interior are gradually losing their coverage.
