Which engine is better for the Yeti. An overview of the pros and cons of Yeti. How much does Yeti cost?
I feel sorry for the managers who will sell the Skoda Yeti. It is better for them to drink warm milk and prepare their vocal cords for long conversations with customers, because not everyone will immediately come to terms with the following strange fact: the base engine for the Yeti compact SUV has a volume of 1.2 liters. Can you imagine? Even for a buyer of a new Polo, the “1.2” label can be disheartening… In addition, in this version, Yeti will only be front-wheel drive, but with the ability to install a DSG gearbox.
As an alternative, a solid 152-horsepower 1.8-liter engine and an all-wheel drive transmission are offered, but the trouble is that such cars are equipped only with a manual gearbox. Since it seems to be customary to take an SUV with an “automatic”, many will face a dilemma: sacrifice all-wheel drive and power for the sake of a DSG box or drive with a “handle”, but in a parade.
I will try to help sales managers and tell you what a 1.2-liter engine is, and at the same time the Yeti itself.
fine motor skills
I switch to Yeti 1.2 after testing a more powerful version, and this is bad: when “downshifting”, the contrast is felt especially strongly. Nothing, let's be patient.
But you know what? The very first entry on the gas pedal caused a fit of excitement in the Yeti, and the tachometer needle naturally described the circle, as if there was no correlation between its movement and the actual speed. Well, it doesn’t blow the roof off acceleration, but the Yeti 1.2 TSI accelerates at the level of cars with “1.6” nameplates - I say with full responsibility.
He drinks speed in small but frequent sips, and after a while the number of cubes in his cylinders ceases to interest you. For comparison, in acceleration to 100 km / h, the Yeti 1.2 TSI loses only half a second to the two-liter Nissan Qashqai.
Low volume is manifested only at speeds of 130-140 km / h. When some fast Czech catches up behind, naturally, in a Skoda, you strive to overtake the truck on the right as quickly as possible and stand in front of it. And here the Yeti 1.2 TSI takes its breath away, with every km / h it is becoming more and more difficult for it to rip up the air flow.
But at speeds up to 100-120 km / h, he is surprisingly frisky. The point, of course, is the turbocharging, which is on both engines for Yeti and thanks to which it was possible to squeeze quite convincing 105 hp from a volume of 1.2 liters. from. plus a torque of 175 Nm in the range of 1500-3000 rpm. I remember that Octavia 1.4 TSI also surprised me with agility at the level of two-liter competitors.
Due to uniform traction in the middle speed range, both engines outperform naturally aspirated engines of comparable power. Although you should not overestimate the grassroots capabilities of turbo engines: on a hilly track, many managed to drown out the Yeti, including me (three times). But this only applies to tight driving.
In general, everything is in order with the power and even more torque at the Skoda turbo, and the problem is more of a mental nature: small volumes are associated with low power and lack of character. BMW, for example, would have acted easier: it would have called the model not 325, but 330, and it would have been right - in the end, we are interested in the output of the engine, and not the dimension of its cylinders. For myself, I decided this: if you take a car for the city, a 1.2 TSI engine is enough, but in anticipation of frequent trips along the highway at a speed of 100+ km / h, it is better to save up for Yeti 1.8 TSI.
By the way, the main motive for switching to turbo engines for the Volkswagen Group is the strict limits on CO 2 emissions in Europe. The small displacement motor produces less “waste” at low loads, and in the mode the pedal to the floor compensates for the lack of volume with increased intake pressure. Brilliant and ... not so simple: turbo engines are complex and high-tech.
About off-road...
An off-road track in the Czech Republic cannot be called extreme, and in general, the obstacles resembled the Shershnev ravines, where all kinds of “experiences” are held. Before the races, the Czech organizers took aim for a long time, cut off the uncomfortable "foreheads" of the hills, uprooted the stones and rolled the ground. If you do not know this, off-road looks convincing, but in reality everything is calculated to the millimeter. And yet not asphalt.
The Yeti has a clearance of 180 mm, but the overhangs are smaller than those of the related Tiguan (with the same base, the Yeti is noticeably shorter). But the Tiguan has a Track&Field version with Turega-style slanted bumpers, and the Yeti looks plump as a rodent that has eaten. Accordingly, the geometric cross-country ability is slightly better than the passenger one, but it also allows you to drive onto the curbs and fearlessly “walk” through the yard pits. Or storm pre-packed obstacles.
The Škodov instructor demonstrates class by driving into gravel studs with two pedals (gas + brake) and flying into steep hills with suspension clanging. Cool.
When you're driving, the track seems much more difficult. Yeti climbs the hills without any problems, but requires precision when working with gas: if you go slowly, you will dig in and stall, if you go fast, you will break through the suspension or “lose” the car at the top. Descending is easier because the speed is controlled by a special slope assistance system. Yeti desperately rests on wheels and crunches off-road ABS, its bumper passes a few centimeters from the ground, everyone breathes a sigh of relief. In life, none of us will stick to such deviations, but then we know that everything is calculated.
In general, the monodrive Yeti is more of a passenger wagon than an SUV. For the city, its capabilities are enough, for a primer near the dacha - too, but don't expect miracles.
The all-wheel-drive Yeti is more interesting, because the rear wheels are connected by a fourth-generation Haldex clutch, which works with preload and provides a quick transfer of torque to the rear wheels. It was possible to evaluate it both on dirt hills and on wet mountain roads: the all-wheel drive intervenes on time, unobtrusively and works efficiently.
But the lack of geometric cross-country ability still kills off-asphalt ambitions, and all-wheel drive here serves the same purpose as on the Subaru Impreza or Audi Allroad Quattro - it increases confidence on slippery, viscous or snowy surfaces. Many don't need more.
wrong side
Having changed four Skodas in two days, I suddenly discovered a funny thing - sometimes you stop understanding what kind of car you are in. superb? Octavia? Yeti? Steering wheels, interiors, seats - everything is very similar.
The Yeti only has a more commanding seat, and the Superba-style interior is taken as a compliment. Ergonomics is the trump card of all Skoda models, and Yeti is no exception. I especially like the seat profiles and the wide range of adjustments. You pull the steering wheel closer, you adjust the seat, and a bit of intimacy appears in the relationship with the car.
The suspension is soft, and Czech roads seem smoother on the Yeti than on other machines, which is especially noticeable on the cobblestones. The itch from the road that shakes the Octavia manifests itself in the Yeti in the form of weak acoustic vibrations. Noise isolation is also decent, although lop-eared mirrors begin to whistle at high speeds. But up to 100 km / h - grace.
Yeti has a typically “Skodovsky” lightweight steering wheel that does not overload the muscles, but also gives the necessary amount of feedback. Although "downy" pedals can cause protest in people with heavy shoes.
In general, from the driver's seat, Yeti is perceived as one hundred percent Skoda. And even more so in the back: the greenhouse glazing is reminiscent of Roomster, and there are more places than in comparable competitors (I can vouch for Qashqai). The landing is vertical, the line of windows is low, the floor is flat, there is plenty of room for the knees. Not bad.
The trunk of 500 liters is less than that of the same Octavia, by 10%, but significantly more than that of sedans like the Ford Focus or Mitsubishi Lancer, which are a third of a meter longer than the Yeti. Note that with a length of 4.2 meters, it is formally located on the borders of the B- and C-classes, that is, it is a compact city car. Given that the passenger capacity of the Yeti is better than that of the golf class, it is unrivaled in terms of the ratio of external to internal dimensions.
You can also fold the back of the rear seats, and then tilt the resulting structure forward, increasing the trunk volume to 1.5 cubic meters. True, the seats hide part of the loading length, but they can be completely dismantled, and then the trunk will become completely chic - 1760 liters!
How much does Yeti cost?
Recently, Russians have become quite addicted to SUVs, and in a matter of months the market share of various SUVs has increased one and a half times! Of the four cars sold in Russia, one is an SUV. The reasons are very prosaic: the most popular segment - golfers - has risen in price considerably during the crisis, and average prices have reached 600-800 thousand rubles - horror. The price of SUVs did not swell so much, and sometimes fell to seductive values: Suzuki Grand Vitara, KIA Sportage, Mitsubishi Outlander XL in 2009 could be bought at a very nice price.
The base Yeti 1.2 TSI is quite in line with the trend. For 699 thousand rubles, it has ABS, air conditioning, heated seats and mirrors, two airbags and other options from the mandatory list. In general, a good offer, if you are not scared away by the “1.2” nameplate and a monodrive. Although the radio, foglights, rear power windows are paid separately.
A DSG machine will cost 60 thousand rubles, and a fully stuffed Yeti with climate control, six airbags, an audio system, alloy wheels, ESP (etc., etc.) will cost 879 thousand rubles.
As for the Yeti 1.8 TSI, it comes only with all-wheel drive and only with mechanics, and the price starts from 899 thousand rubles (ESP in the database). A lot, of course, but a related Tiguan with a 150-horsepower 1.4 TSI engine costs at least 997 thousand, so of the two I choose Yeti.
If you had to choose a single epithet to describe the Yeti, the word "solid" would come to mind. And the client looms commensurate - a practical city dweller. How many of these will be typed in Russia? I think a lot. Whether they buy it or not is another question, but definitely a Czech crossover with a strange name intrigued everyone.
What is being said about the nature of the crossover with Czech genes?
The reviews accumulated about the Skoda Yeti 1.8 mechanics, in terms of dynamic qualities, assure that the bunch has a completely compromise temperament. An engine with a superbly tuned turbine, direct injection and a six-speed "mechanics" with environmental inclinations at the same time contribute to the achievement of both excellent elasticity and acceptable fuel consumption. So, we can argue about the transparency of technical characteristics:
- a torque shelf of 250 Nm, picking up already at 1,500 rpm and available up to 4,500 rpm;
- maximum power of 160 hp, achieved within 4,500-6,200 rpm;
- shot "hundreds" after 8.4 s.;
- average fuel consumption: 8.0 l/100 km.
The owner of Yeti described the nature of the bundle as follows:
"The car is very nimble, the engine willingly pulls from the very bottom, but it doesn't fail at the top either. On the highway it eats somewhere around 7.2-7.3 l / 100 km when driving at a speed of about 120 km / h, in a city with traffic jams - 11.2 liters per hundred. You can safely overtake - the power reserve is colossal. For country trips, the dynamics are enough for the eyes: from 120 it is easy to accelerate not only to 170 km / h, but also to 200 km / h.
Four-wheel drive, tied to the fourth-generation Haldex electronically controlled clutch, coupled with 180 mm ground clearance, is a weighty argument in favor of off-road capabilities. According to the reviews of the owners of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with a mechanic th on board, the equipment capacity is quite enough to overcome various obstacles encountered on shallow off-road. In addition, the electronics masterfully cope with diagonal hanging.
Unfortunately, the suspension also imposes European values. The motorist gave the following description of the temperament of this part of the vehicle:
"Up to 70 km / h, it seems that the shock absorbers do not fulfill their obligations at all. Joints and small irregularities are clearly felt. Following a large pit at low speeds, there is always a hard blow."
To match the balance shifted towards the drive and other settings:
- sharp steering wheel;
- small rolls;
- excellent stability on a straight line, eliminating the need for steering even in a rut.
What will the reviews tell about the reliability of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with mechanics and all-wheel drive?
Against the background of 1.2-liter units, the older unit looks not only more solid, but also more reliable - this is the consideration that guides the majority of consumers who have opted for the 1.8 TSI engine. However, there are still negative sides to the power plant.
Modifications with a seven-speed "preselective" were completed with a slightly derated power plant CDAA 1.8 TSI (152 hp), where the situation with oil appetite was occasionally translated into a problematic category. The neighboring model, the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with mechanics, was scolded by almost all reviews for high oil consumption. Here is what the owner of Yeti 2010 writes:
"I regularly add 200-250 ml of synthetics per 1,000 km, while the driving style is far from aggressive - I rarely turn above 5,000 rpm, and traffic jams in our city are rare."
Many owners have been diagnosed with exceeding the factory oil consumption limit (0.5 l / 1,000 km), after which the dealer replaced four pistons. Sometimes the excess of the normative indicator of lubricant consumption is due to the incorrect operation of the oil separator. In November 2011, 1.8-liter units with the already resolved problem of high oil consumption entered the series. Their serial number is older than CDA_221245.
Sometimes there are such problems:
- metal chirping, indicating the need to replace the timing chain and a mandatory inspection of the tensioner;
- uneven acceleration, eliminated by replacing the spark plugs;
- a metallic knock, more often indicating a malfunction of the high pressure fuel pump.
In general, both owners and experienced motorists focus on the fact that the oil needs to be changed more often - after about 8-9 thousand km.
The reliability of the mechanics as a whole is evaluated by the owners of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 far from being "excellent". Only at the comfort level, many are not satisfied with the long-stroke gearshift lever. But in fact, almost everyone is faced with phenomena that are unnatural for a workable unit on almost new copies (with a mileage of less than 10,000 km):
- squeals and rattles from the side of the clutch, especially when driving in tightness downhill;
- extraneous sound when disengaging the clutch;
- difficult inclusion of first and reverse gears, especially in the cold season.
Such malfunctions, as a rule, were eliminated after:
- clutch replacement;
- changing the dual mass flywheel;
- backstage adjustments.
According to reviews, the all-wheel drive system does not cause trouble during operation. Yeti owner noted:
"I dealt with Haldex interaxle couplings of previous generations. It was the coupling that always ran for a very long time, but the hydraulic pumps had to be repaired often, if not completely replaced. In the fourth generation, the pumps are much more reliable if we compare the mileage numbers."
How are things with comfort?
The most important criterion for any driver is the comfort of landing. And, judging by the opinions of the owners, the requirement was fulfilled "excellently" - after all, in general, the geometry of the workplace migrated from the VW Tiguan. Almost all reviews of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with pre-installed mechanics note the rigidity of the seats.
Noise isolation is a key advantage of this car. Otherwise, the owners emphasize the following features:
- ergonomics has one significant disadvantage: in most cases, the comfortable position of the steering wheel rim overlaps the sectors of the tachometer and speedometer;
- the panel is able to creak both when driving through irregularities at low speed, and in the cold;
- audiophiles will obviously not like the sound quality;
- climate control is working properly.
In terms of electrical equipment with a high frequency, the question is raised about the adequacy of the readings of the device indicating the level of fuel in the tank. In this case, it is almost impossible to diagnose the cause.
Summary
Numerous reviews of the European crossover Skoda Yeti 1.8 with mechanics suggest a quite decent, by modern standards, level of reliability. In the technical part, the following phenomena are widespread:
- high oil consumption (up to 0.5 l / 1,000 km) - the problem was solved towards the end of 2011;
- defective factory clutch, requiring replacement already at 20-25 thousand km, even with careful operation;
- observed extraneous sounds when operating with the clutch, often indicating the need to change the dual-mass flywheel.
The balance of dynamic and economic qualities here is quite good - the real average consumption is about 9 l / 100 km, acceleration to "hundreds": 8.4 s. In relation to other qualities of the car, reviews give such subjective assessments:
- rigid suspension;
- sharp steering wheel;
- excellent sound insulation;
- good cross;
- comfortable fit.
Many are faced with an ergonomic miscalculation when a conveniently adjusted steering wheel overlaps the instrument cluster. Some are not satisfied with the sound of the standard audio system.
In 2009, the Czech automaker Skoda presented a brand new compact crossover called the Yeti. The car turned out to be successful, as evidenced by the sales statistics of the model. In just 4 years, over 290 thousand copies of the car were sold. Unprecedented success is associated with fitting the crossover to the corporate style.
The design of the model appealed to many motorists in Europe: Yeti is characterized by the severity and conciseness of the exterior, combined with structurally successful power plants. It is about what the resource of the Skoda Yeti engine is that we will tell in this article.
Crossover powertrain options
Crossover sales in Russia began in November 2009. In general, car enthusiasts and independent critics warmly received the new car from the Czech manufacturer. Skoda took into account the nuances of operating a car in Russia, especially in distant lands with a harsh climate. Yeti appeared before the domestic buyer in several modifications at once. Sales began with a front-wheel drive version with a 1.2-liter TSI and 1.6 MPI engine, after which other crossover layouts became available - all-wheel drive 1.8 TSI.
Crossover assemblies have the following advantages:
- McPherson independent front suspension;
- independent multi-link rear suspension;
- front ventilated disc brakes;
- rear disc brakes.
As a transmission, not only a manual gearbox is available, but also a DSG “robot”. Moreover, gasoline power units can work both with mechanics and with a "robot", but the diesel engine is aggregated only by DSG. The variety of transmissions also contributed to the increase in sales of the model and protected the Czechs from the failure that happened, for example, with the Ford Kuga, sold in Russia only with a manual gearbox.
The reliability of Czech cars has been talked about for years. Over the past few years, Skoda has significantly upgraded the technology for the production of power units. The base engine of the Skoda Yeti is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated TSI engine. Among the owners of the crossover, there are different opinions about this engine. We can say that the drivers were divided into two large camps: supporters and opponents of a small-capacity installation. Although this modification will not allow you to fully experience the whole drive from driving, but what can you not blame it for - reliability and a large resource. With proper maintenance, a 1.2-liter engine will travel at least 280 thousand kilometers.
The remaining versions of 1.6 and 1.8 liters are not inferior to the younger one in terms of resource. It is important for owners of a crossover with a turbocharged engine to monitor the condition of the turbine and carry out its timely maintenance. Proper care of the power plant will significantly extend the life of the main unit of the car. It is important to change the engine oil, spark plugs and filters at the scheduled time. In the frosty season, as well as in regions where critically low temperatures prevail, it is recommended to warm up the power unit. Due to this, it will be possible to preserve the integrity of the parts of the cylinder-piston group. Therefore, a 1.6 and 1.8 liter engine can last at least 300 thousand kilometers.
Owner reviews
The diesel modification of the Skoda Yeti feels good on domestic diesel fuel. The engine is distinguished not only by moderate fuel consumption, but also by a fairly solid resource - 320 or more thousand kilometers. To increase the life of the motor, professionals recommend using the RVS-Master. The repair and recovery composition paired with the FuelEXx combustion catalyst will protect the power unit from the negative effects of low-quality fuel. Owner reviews will tell you more about the resource of the Skoda Yeti engine for 1.2, 1.6, 1.8 liters.
Engine 1.2
- Yuri, Nizhny Novgorod. In 2014, he bought a Skoda Yeti with a 1.2-liter turbocharged low-power engine. Of course, it will not be possible to particularly accelerate on such a machine, but it is moderately voracious and reliable enough. I sold it four years later, at that time the mileage was about 80 thousand kilometers. There were no problems with the engine, before the sale I went to a car repair shop more than once in order to conduct a thorough diagnosis of the car. The turbine was also in perfect condition, its resource before the first repair was 120-150 thousand kilometers. Although, there is an opinion that the 1.2-liter engine is short-lived. I completely disagree with this, for 80 thousand there were no problems. Of course, if you do not follow the car, then it will break down after 50 thousand. In general, do not hesitate and buy a Yeti with a 1.2 engine if the efficiency and reliability of the engine are important to you.
- Anatoly, Moscow. I have been driving a Skoda Yeti since 2013. Mileage has already exceeded 120 thousand km. During this time, I only changed the washer on the turbine under warranty. There were no more breakdowns. As for the increased oil consumption. It is indeed observed in crossover assemblies until 2014, after the manufacturer solved this problem. How I struggled with increased consumption - I switched from native oil to Elf 5W30 and the “appetite” of the car returned to normal. I replace it every 9,000 km, I immediately change the filters, I changed the pump once. Now about the timing chain. Serves for 150 thousand, as many experts say, and I trust them, because my car has already passed more than a hundred thousand. The network often writes that the chain does not live up to this mark, but this is absolutely not the case.
- Nikolay, Voronezh. I have been the owner of Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI since 2015. The car is very comfortable, adapted for operation in our country. I have never had any problems with it, the service from the dealer is top notch. The timing chain is resource-intensive, I have already covered 70 thousand km by car, the engine is still like new. I want to give a few tips to the owners of the crossover: do not leave the car without a handbrake, because in the event of any shift of the car, the chain may slip, which is fraught with unnecessary trouble. Regarding oil consumption: the manufacturer himself said that for every 1 thousand, a car normally consumes 1 liter of oil, and over time, the figure can really increase.
Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI does not like short trips. A turbocharged engine is demanding for full warm-up, if this does not happen, problems with the engine and minor breakdowns begin. To increase its service life, it is important to replace spark plugs in a timely manner, as well as use repair and restoration compounds.
Engine 1.6
- Alexey, Tyumen. I have a Skoda Yeti 1.6 MPI with 105 horsepower plus a manual. This is a completely new motor that has practically nothing to do with the previous CFNA series. It is part of the TSI family of engines, but it lacks a turbine and direct fuel injection system. By car, I have already skated 120,000 km, except for regulated work, I did nothing. Service at the dealer is inexpensive and of sufficient quality. I tried not to clog the engine with cheap fuel and oil, I refuel only AI-95 at Lukoil, I pour native oil. Up to half a million is unlikely to get through, but why do I need it? By that time, the car will already be morally obsolete, but 300-350 thousand km for such a crossover is a very real resource.
- Maxim, Volgograd. He became a shkodovod in 2015, when he bought a Yeti 1.6 MPI in the secondary market, the car itself was produced in 2012. I got a crossover in excellent condition, the previous owner followed the car and passed MOT on time. Now the mileage is already 200 thousand kilometers. The chain has been changed once and as far as I know it is much more reliable than the 1.2 liter version. Like it or not, but the MPI power unit is less prone to breakdowns due to the lack of a turbocharging system. The system of distributed fuel injection allows you to fill the car with almost any gasoline. No, it is desirable, nevertheless, to purchase fuel from a reliable supplier. But the probability of failure of such an engine due to refueling with low-quality fuel is much less.
- Kirill, Moscow. Very reliable car, I enjoy every trip. There were no problems with the car for 4 years of operation. The engine has passed 100 thousand, which surprises me, the chain is still in excellent condition. The 1.6 MPI engine is the same 1.4 TSI, but without a turbine, and also without an oil temperature pressure sensor. In general, this engine can be called the standard of resource intensity and maintainability. Also I didn't have any problems with the transmission, the box works great. At the expense of the suspension - I had to change the wheel bearing, as well as rubber seals. But, as you know, these are trifles.
Skoda Yeti 1.6 MPI is characterized by high power and long service life. In this modification of the engine there is no turbine, which has a positive effect on the duration of the stable operation of the power unit. The owners of the crossover speak positively about the 1.6-liter engine, calling it the average and most acceptable option for operation in Russia.
Engine 1.8
Skoda Yeti 1.8 is one of the most preferred options for Russian motorists. A crossover with this power unit is unpretentious, stable, and has a long resource. With proper maintenance, 280-300 thousand kilometers will pass before the first overhaul.

Braking and stabilization systems (rus.) Device and principle of operation. Self-study program
Over the past thirty years, car manufacturers and brake system suppliers have been developing braking and stabilization systems that help drivers cope with some critical situations. These systems, along with seat belts and airbags, are among the most important elements of an active safety system.
Myths about safety systems Due to the lack of awareness of the principles of operation of auxiliary systems in the amateur community, there are many rumors. Some of the most common myths include the following misstatements:
the ABS system increases the braking distance;
with fast, intermittent braking, the ABS system can be replaced;
the ESC system intervenes in vehicle control prematurely and inaccurately;
the ESC system is able to eliminate any critical situation for the driver while driving

New in Volkswagen electrical equipment with KN 45/2008 (rus.) Technical training. As of calendar week 45, 2008 (45/2008), a new onboard supply control unit (BSG) is introduced, which now includes the functions of the convenience systems control unit (KSG). This also includes a separate tire pressure monitoring software module (RDK), previously included in the comfort systems control unit (KSG). Consequently, now the comfort systems control unit is completely absent from the PQ35 platform - starting from the VW Golf 6 and in all car models based on this platform.

The first crossover from Skoda cannot be denied originality, even though it shares a platform with the VW Tiguan. Let's see how original it is in terms of "childhood diseases" ... The main advantage of the Škoda Yeti compared to other crossovers is the wide possibilities for transforming the interior.
The second row seats move and are removed separately, so the first time after the purchase, you can be childishly happy with this designer. But so that joy is not overshadowed by breakdowns, one must arm oneself with knowledge.
ONLY 4WD
The most modest version of the engine, the 1.2 TSI gasoline, which was installed on front-wheel drive modifications, is also the most problematic. Basically, don't get in touch with him.
Pressing the Off-road button changes the settings of the traction control system and the reaction to pressing the gas pedal. But the Yeti's bumper is still low
A more powerful 1.8 TSI petrol with a direct injection system is installed on the all-wheel drive version of the car. This is a cast iron block engine tested on the Octavia II and Superb II. It is reliable, maintainable and unpretentious. A number of complaints about this unit are associated with increased oil consumption in the cylinder-piston group. To solve the problem, the concern changed the design of the piston.
A design feature of the 1.8 TSI is the presence of a system for accelerated heating of the catalyst. Within 0.5-1 minute after the start, an additional fuel injection is performed at the exhaust stroke, which provides a quick warm-up of the catalyst and more efficient afterburning of the fuel already at the warm-up stage. The sound of the engine at this moment is harsh and even "interruptions", but this is normal.
Small but comfortable.
The trunk space is practically devoid of protrusions that interfere with stacking
Modest but dignified. High-quality interior trim is a hallmark of VW cars. Well, inserts under the tree - this is only for the highest trim levels
Minus one. The middle seat can be removed, and the remaining two can be moved wider or closer. Families with toddlers will appreciate
TRUST THE OLD
As for the 2-litre common rail direct-injection turbo-diesel engines in all-wheel drive, performance statistics are low. Two of them, with a capacity of 110 liters. from. and 140 l. s., new and installed for the first time on the Škoda Yeti.
The most powerful, reliable and unpretentious of the diesel engine range, the 2.0-liter 170-horsepower unit has successfully worked on Octavia II and Superb II cars. It should be noted that during operation in urban traffic jams, an error signal periodically occurs. The system of automatic regeneration of the particulate filter works in Moscow conditions, according to statistics, every 500 km. The process is manifested by the short-term appearance of a cloud of white smoke from the exhaust pipe. But if the conditions cannot be met, automatic regeneration does not occur, and the on-board computer indicates an error, which requires the owner to visit a service station for forced regeneration.
BETTER SIX
On Yeti, they put two options for “automatic machines” - DSG7 and hydromechanical automatic transmission6, as well as manual transmission6.
All-wheel drive versions are equipped with manual transmission6 and - only for Russia - automatic transmission6. A mechanical box with a dry single-plate clutch is reliable and lasts at least 80,000-100,000 km. Replacing the clutch will cost about 29,000 rubles. The main reason for contacting the service station is the appearance of ringing sounds during clutch operation, emitted by the damping springs of the disc, when driving under load or tension. For example, when forcing a high curb. This did not affect the quality of the node, but in case of complaints, the disk was replaced under warranty.
You can't fool physics. The aerodynamics of the "heel" leads to the fact that both the rear and side windows get dirty pretty quickly
The modern seven-speed "automatic" DSG is a box with two single-plate clutches that works without interruption of torque. This unit is sensitive to the peculiarities of driving style. Complaints about jerking when starting off and shocks when switching are the most common reason for contacting a service station. Uncomfortable switching is corrected or by replacing the box ECU at a cost of about 73,000 rubles. (including work), or replacing the clutch itself, costing about 44,000 rubles. (also including work).
All-wheel drive, of course, is implemented by the fourth generation Haldex clutch. An electro-hydraulic disc clutch is integrated into the rear axle final drive. All-wheel drive is electronically connected and works quite adequately. Torque power is automatically regulated, minimizing the slippage of one axle relative to the other.
Yeti independent suspension is reliable. The only weak point is the frequent backlash of the silent blocks of the front levers, accompanied by a noticeable squeak already in the early mileage figures. The cost of the lever assembly is about 7000 rubles.
THE GENIUS OF COMPACT
As already mentioned, in terms of interior, Yeti is a kind of masterpiece. You can blame him for a small trunk - it is both short and has a high floor due to the spare wheel located under it, but the longitudinal adjustment of the rear seats allows you to play with the volume in a very wide range. In addition, the car is still very compact.
As you can see, in the case of the Škoda Yeti, the main thing is to choose the right equipment. But in general, despite the funny appearance, this is a modern crossover with a lot of nice options, a variety of electronic assistants and decent driving performance.
Owner's opinion: Sergey, Skoda Yeti 1.8 TSI 4×4 DSG
My wife and I travel by car all the time. Almost all the time in the city. I use the car for work, I transport small loads - I have my own business. With the seats folded down, everything is fine. Four-wheel drive chose for occasional trips to nature. For incomplete 50,000 runs, I came only for scheduled maintenance, and if I changed something under warranty, then at the same time with them. Service is attentive, parts arrive quickly. So far, I have never waited more than two days for a car. It warms up normally, nimble, climbs curbs and snow mounds the only way. On New Year's Eve we went from Kaluga to Chelyabinsk to visit relatives. Only positive emotions from the car - it did not let me down, it started up and drove very cheerfully. As for fuel, I do not experiment - only the 95th or even the 98th, if far from my native places. Fuel consumption in winter is on average 10-11 liters, so the costs are low. Happy with the machine. The wife sometimes gets behind the wheel, and she also likes everything, especially the electronic valet and the quality of the light.
