In general, the Skoda company is more than one hundred and fifty years old, and its automobile division Škoda Auto is 120 years old. That part of its history that concerns the production of locomotives, machine tools and equipment for nuclear power plants(there was such a thing), we are not interested in this article. Therefore, we will only remind you about Škoda Auto. It all started with bicycles in 1895 (this year is considered the starting point for Škoda Auto), and their first car, then under the Laurin & Klement Co. brand, was released in 1905 and was quite successful.

To the delight of many businessmen of that time, the First World War, and Skoda owners successfully took advantage of this event, although to the detriment passenger cars. In the mid-thirties, Skoda began producing tanks, but their last tank was destroyed in 1941 near Moscow. But during the Second World War, the company’s specialists had to work for the Third Reich to the fullest: they produced trucks, tractors and even SUVs. For which they paid: the plant was heavily damaged as a result of bombing.

After the war, Skoda turned out to be the only automaker in Czechoslovakia, but due to its isolation from the West, the company did not need to compete with American and Western European firms. The cars sold well in Eastern Europe, but by the end of the eighties it became obvious that without cooperation with stronger partners the company would have a hard time.

It took a whole decade (from 1990 to 2000) for Skoda’s final transition under the wing of Volkswagen. But the results turned out to be brilliant, one only has to remember Octavia, Fabia and Superb at the beginning of our century. An attempt to build something “roadless” was made before the Yeti, the first-born was Skoda Octavia Scout. However, Skoda development director Eckhard Scholz once said: “We didn’t really do anything revolutionary. To create the Skoda Yeti, they used the Octavia Scout platform, the conceptual shortcomings of which were eliminated. We mainly reduced the overhangs and increased the inertial angles.” Apparently, he perceived some of Scout’s nuances as shortcomings. But the main desire of the developers was to make an SUV as cheap as possible, undermining the Tiguan. Therefore, despite the same platform as this Volkswagen, most of the components were borrowed not from it, but from the more affordable Golf, Octavia and even Fabia. Let's see what comes of it.

Inspection at a car service center

To assess the condition of the vehicle and determine its strengths and weaknesses We arrived at the service as professionals G-Energy Racing Service. And, of course, they put the car on a lift. Our Yeti was released in 2013, and purchased in 2014, and its mileage is only 30 thousand kilometers. During such a period of time, nothing terrible happened to the chassis, except that the front ones needed to be replaced brake pads and stabilizer links. Considering that Ilya, the owner of the car, likes to “step on the gas” and drive along forest roads that are not suitable for racing, the wear of the stabilizer is quite justified.

Front and rear suspension are familiar: McPherson with wishbones and a torsion stabilizer bar at the front and a multi-link at the rear. The transmission is of much greater interest. In our case, the car has all-wheel drive and a six-speed transmission. robotic box DSG with double clutch. The clutch here is “wet”, in an oil bath, and compared to the “dry” one in 7-speed DSG versions, it is considered reliable.

Well, let's take a look at the engine. On the hood of our Yeti is a 152-horsepower 1.8 TSI petrol engine. If anyone has forgotten what TSI is, let us remind you: this is a twin-turbocharged engine with a direct injection fuel. The main difference is that it avoids the appearance of an unpleasant “turbo lag” - a phenomenon caused by the inability of the turbine to operate at low revs ICE.

The master considers the need to replace the pump at a mileage close to one hundred thousand to be a typical feature of our engine. We don't have any problems with it yet. In general, the engine is called good, but the 1.4 TSI present in the line is not remembered by car service specialists in the best words. The servicemen recalled more than just isolated cases of pistons failing, or rather, their burnout and rings falling apart. Motors with a failed piston were also found on Tiguans and Jettas. Apparently, 1.4-liter engines do not like the increased load of a turbine.

Car owner's opinion

The main criteria when choosing a car were, according to the owner, “something taller and with all-wheel drive.” At the same time, it was necessary to keep within a maximum of one million three hundred thousand. For this price you could buy an Audi Q3, last year’s and “empty” Volkswagen Tiguan or Amarok. The latter was dropped due to impracticality. The first two remained, but Ilya got to the next maintenance of his Fabia in time. At the car dealership he was offered a Yeti. Cupid flew off somewhere for a smoke break, and love did not work out at first sight. The car seemed small and frivolous. However, the manager showed persistence and, with the fanaticism of a Jesuit monk, showed the car in fully equipped standing in the far box. Snow-white, on 17-inch alloy wheels, interior - a combination of leather and Alcantara in the color of café au lait, a roof with a panoramic view, adaptive optics, bi-xenon... It was then that Cupid shot an arrow into the heart of the future owner. Note that Ilya has experience in owning a Ford Fiesta, Volkswagen Golf and Skoda Fabia Combi.

1 / 2

2 / 2

To my question whether there was a desire to buy a Skoda after a successful experience with Fabia, the owner answered negatively and even rudely and tactlessly called the latter a “bucket”. The assessment, of course, is subjective, but it is all the more interesting that one “bucket” of Skoda (no, he shouldn’t have done that anyway!) did not become a reason to abandon the Yeti.

Pros of the car

First of all, Ilya notes the car’s good maneuverability, especially after previous front wheel drive cars. But the point is not even in the 4x4 formula, but in the high ground clearance of 180 mm. Together with a small turning radius, this makes it possible to confidently maneuver not only in the city, but also in more difficult conditions. road conditions. It is most likely too early to judge the reliability - the mileage is only 30 thousand - but so far there have been no problems with the Yeti, and the owner also notes this. Other advantages are justified rich in equipment our car. In cold weather, it’s nice to sit on a heated seat, especially one trimmed with Alcantara and leather, and not some kind of flock. Yeti is understandable and predictable to drive. Many copies have already been broken and drool has been splattered on monitors in disputes about whether they are really needed. In order not to be damned, I will try to avoid this topic here, but I will note some features of the behavior of the Yeti all-wheel drive crossover on the road, since the owner spoke about them. Four-wheel drive here it does not live its own life, suddenly connecting on the highway and arbitrarily changing the distribution of torque on the axle. Generation IV Haldex coupling connects at speeds below 40 km/h rear drive and helps only when necessary. On the highway, Yeti rides front wheel drive and reacts to control like a regular “underdrive”.

In general, the operation of electronics that assist the driver evokes only positive emotions in the owner. First of all, we are talking about the “off-road” mode, which includes start-up and descent assistance systems, ABS adaptation ( anti-lock braking system brakes), ASR (traction control) and EDS ( electronic locking differential) to off-road mode. Those who like to “go sideways” can turn off these systems, and then the Yeti becomes a well-controlled and quite “evil” car. However, even on the highway you can put the arrow to the number 200. Since the car was bought for the needs of the family, its convenience in everyday use was assessed first of all. There is enough space here, but luggage compartment I won’t even talk about it, all the odes to him were sung much earlier than me, it’s impossible to compose a new one. The owner noted the good organization of space, allowing transportation of both large cargo, and a lot of small things that do not jingle throughout the cabin, but are neatly located in many convenient compartments. The owner also dispelled my concerns about the difficulty of caring for the bright interior, saying that it is difficult to get dirty, but if this does happen, it is not difficult to wash it: the material is practical and does not stain.

Disadvantages of the car

There are two main disadvantages: seats and the high cost of service from an official dealer. Yes, the owner of the car is of a thin build, so the lateral support does not really support him. Most likely, he is right here: Not every driver will find the Yeti comfortable. There is more than enough space here. The author of these lines relaxed in his chair in comfort and felt quite well. The owner, judging by what he saw, does not have access to such convenience.

The cost of service at the dealer seems really high. However, according to the owner, the next maintenance for the Octavia could cost more than 60 thousand. The Yeti owner refused the dealer’s services, and it’s not only about the price, but also about the quality of service. The system was also not encouraging automatic parking. Maybe this thing will be useful for inexperienced drivers, but Ilya used it only once, and then only to show its work to his wife. While the car was determining how best to stand, the place was almost taken by a daring BMW, so the owner chose to act himself. In addition, the system is too cautious and does not agree to park the car where it can be driven with its own hands and feet, citing lack of space. Ilya would gladly change this system to Windshield with heating, which appeared only on the restyled Yeti in 2013.

What they write on the forums

We will not repeat all the advantages that the owner spoke about. Others write the same thing in reviews. It is much more interesting to get acquainted with the shortcomings. Oddly enough, many people blame the Yeti for its cramped interior. This is surprising, but most likely due to the fact that the Yeti is really small for an average crossover. Still this compact crossover, and you shouldn’t expect Tiguan space from it. What really deserves attention are the complaints about the engines, especially the 1.2 and 1.4 liters. “Dying” turbines that are still under warranty are not uncommon for them, and the topic of “dead” pistons of a 1.4-liter engine is one of the most extensive on the forum dedicated to one of the single-platform engines. The short-travel suspension is also criticized, but the heater’s operation causes the most criticism.

The first crossover from Skoda cannot be denied its 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 Š koda Yeti Compared to other crossovers, there are ample opportunities to transform the interior.

The seats of the second row move and are removed individually, so for the first time after purchase you can enjoy this designer like a child. But so that your joy is not overshadowed by breakdowns, you need to arm yourself with knowledge.

ALL-WHEEL DRIVE ONLY
The most modest engine option, the petrol 1.2 TSI, which was installed on front-wheel drive versions, is also the most problematic. In principle, it is not worth contacting him.

Pressing the Off-road button changes the traction control settings and throttle response. But the Yeti's bumper is still a bit low

A more powerful petrol 1.8 TSI with direct injection system is installed on all-wheel drive version car. This is a cast iron block engine tested in the Octavia II and Superb II. It is reliable, maintainable and unpretentious. Some complaints about this unit are related to increased consumption oils for 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 an accelerated catalyst heating system. Within 0.5-1 minutes after start-up, additional fuel injection is performed on the exhaust stroke, which ensures fast warm-up catalyst and more efficient afterburning of fuel already at the warm-up stage. The sound of the engine at this moment is harsh and even “intermittent,” but this is normal.

Small but comfortable.
The trunk space is practically free of protrusions that interfere with stowage.

Modest, but worthy. High-quality interior trim is a signature feature of VW cars. Well, wood-look inserts are only for higher trim levels

Minus one. The middle seat can be removed, and the remaining two can be moved wider or closer together. Families with similar children will appreciate it

TRUST THE OLD
As for the 2 liter turbo diesel engines with direct injection system common rail in all-wheel drive configuration, the performance statistics are small. Two of them, with a capacity of 110 hp. With. and 140 l. pp., new and installed for the first time on the Škoda Yeti.

The most powerful, reliable and unpretentious of the line of diesel engines - the 2.0-liter 170-horsepower unit has successfully worked on Octavia cars II and Superb II. It should be noted that when operating in city traffic jams, an error signal periodically appears. Automatic regeneration system particulate filter works in Moscow conditions, according to statistics, every 500 km. The process is manifested by the short-term appearance of a cloud white smoke from the exhaust pipe. But if the conditions cannot be met, automatic regeneration does not occur, and on-board computer indicates an error, which requires the owner to visit a service station for forced regeneration.

BETTER SIX
Yeti is equipped with two automatic transmission options - 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. Mechanical box with a dry single-disc clutch it 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 a service station is the appearance of ringing sounds during clutch operation, emitted by the damping springs of the disc, when moving under load or tension. For example, when crossing a high curb. This did not affect the quality of the unit’s operation, 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 DSG automatic transmission is a box with two single-disc clutches that operates without interruption of torque. This unit is sensitive to driving style. Complaints of jerking when starting off and shocks when switching are the most common reason calls to the service station. Uncomfortable switching can be corrected either by replacing the transmission 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 Haldex coupling fourth generation. Electrohydraulic driven disc clutch integrated into the drive final drive rear axle. All-wheel drive is electronically connected and works quite adequately. Torque output is automatically adjusted, minimizing slippage of one axle relative to the other.

Independent Yeti suspension differs in reliability. The only weak point is the frequent play of the silent blocks of the front levers, accompanied by a noticeable squeak already in the early mileage figures. The cost of the assembled lever is about 7,000 rubles.

THE GENIUS OF COMPACT
As already mentioned, the Yeti is something of a masterpiece in terms of interior design. You can criticize it for its small trunk - it is short, and its floor is high due to the spare wheel located under it, but the longitudinal adjustment rear seats allows you to play with quite a volume 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 package. But in general, despite its funny appearance, this 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 constantly travel by car. 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. I chose four-wheel drive for periodic trips into nature. For less than 50,000 miles, I came only for scheduled maintenance, and if I changed something under warranty, then at the same time. The service is attentive, parts arrive quickly. So far I have never waited more than two days for a car. It warms up normally, is nimble, and is the only way to climb curbs and snow mounds. On New Year We traveled from Kaluga to Chelyabinsk to visit our relatives. The car gave me only positive emotions - it didn’t let me down, it started and drove very cheerfully. As for fuel, I don’t experiment - only 95th or even 98th, if far from my native places. Fuel consumption in winter is on average 10-11 liters, so the costs are low. I'm happy with the machine. My wife sometimes drives, and she also likes everything, especially the electronic parking and the quality of the light.

The editors would like to thank Škoda Auto Russia for their assistance in preparing the material

First compact SUV The Škoda, elegantly named Yeti, debuted at the 2009 Geneva Motor Show. A concept version of the car was also presented in Switzerland, but 4 years earlier. The prototype was developed by a team led by Thomas Ingenlath and a production team led by Jens Manske.

In 2012 updated version The Škoda Yeti was presented at an exhibition in Paris. Major changes to the car appeared only a year later, when the rear door and front belt were replaced. New ones were also noted LED headlights, redesigned grille, etc. Several interior elements have also been redesigned, including the navigation panel and steering wheel. There are also several interesting gadgets in the car, the most practical of which is the rear view camera. Of course, nothing is free.

Since the last reconstruction, the machine has been consistently created at six factories located in the following cities: Kvasiny, Solomonovo, Oskemen (Kazakhstan), Nizhny Novgorod(Russia), Aurangabad (India) and Shanghai (China).

Škoda Yeti - engines

• R4 1.2 TSI (105 hp)
• R4 1.4 TSI (122 hp)
• R4 1.8 TSI (152–160 hp)

• R4 1.6 TDI CR (105 hp)
• R4 2.0 TDI CR (110, 140-170 hp)

If you are familiar with Volkswagen cars AG, then you have heard a lot of negative opinions about gasoline TSI engines. Some pay attention to their malfunctions, while others praise them for their incredible flexibility and very efficient combustion of fuel. Who is right? Both sides, of course, because the TSI engines, with the exception of the base 1.2-liter unit, are quite up to the task of the Yeti, but they face many serious faults.

In the 1.4 TSI engine, cases of piston rupture, damage to water pump couplings, and failure of the injection system were observed. All TSI engines used a defective timing chain tensioner, which loses elasticity over time. As a result, this can lead to a chain jump and valve impact on the pistons - repairing the drive unit after such a failure is very, very expensive. Fortunately, in some copies the problem was resolved under warranty. In addition, in TSI engines, due to direct fuel injection, deposits can form on the valves.

Undoubtedly, best choice there will be a 2.0 TDI CR diesel, a fairly durable unit (not to be confused with emergency engine with 2.0 TDI PD injectors). It does not actively burn the mixture, and in versions with a power of 140-170 hp. it also provides good acceleration. However, be aware that more worn, used Yetis may have hardware defects typical of diesels (injector failures or a double-weight flywheel). Users also complain about the diesel particulate filter becoming clogged quickly - a problem that only occurs in cars that are mainly used in the city. There is also a 1.6 TDI CR engine, which is too weak for this car, and even with low mileage the injectors deteriorate. That's how the only drawback this engine.

Škoda Yeti - technical specifications

Depending on the version chosen, the drive can be transmitted either to the wheels of the front axle or via a Haldex clutch for all wheels - the drive is transmitted to the wheels of the front axle, and the rear axle is installed only in case of slipping. If you were counting on a 4x4, the Škoda Yeti is not the car for you. Customers can choose from three gearboxes: a 5- or 6-speed manual and a 6-speed DSG automatic. The front suspension of the Škoda Yeti used MacPherson struts and independent levers rear controls. In Euro NCAP crash tests, the Czech SUV received a very good 5-star rating.

Škoda Yeti - typical disadvantages

What to look for when buying a Škoda Yeti? First of all, it is better to avoid versions equipped with a DSG automatic transmission. Of course, the gearbox changes gears instantly and in this regard is one of the best of this type of design. Unfortunately, when the mechatronics, bearings and dual mass flywheel begin to fail, huge costs come into play. When might such problems occur? If the car you want to buy has 200-300 thousand kilometers behind it, then it’s better not to take risks. Also remember that most cars have reset meters. It is better to have the car checked at a service station.

Many problems in operation are caused by the electronics and electrics of the Czech SUV. Yeti users complain about:

• non-functioning air conditioner panel;
• perishable speakers;
• non-heated power windows;
• electronic engine control failures;
• capricious electric folding mirrors;
• faulty ABS system controller.

Aren't there too many inconsistencies? You decide.

What else can you complain about? First of all, on:

• gearbox (fortunately, the problem affects a limited number of cars);
• weakening of the front seat backs;
• poor quality of window and door seals;
• vulnerable fuel lines (failure occurs in one car out of 150).

Durability is also not a concern. paint car, in versions without additional protective stickers on the rear door, sand and pebbles will cause fragments to appear very quickly.

Skoda Yeti - in our opinion

From year to year, prices for used Škoda Yeti are becoming more and more attractive, but, unfortunately, not all examples are worthy of attention. To reduce the risk of serious problems, you must first select the correct engine version. The market is full of cars imported from Western Europe in appallingly bad condition.

What is worth praising about Yeti? First of all, big choice engines of car versions, interesting body style, good off-road options, spacious salon, ergonomics and affordable prices on Consumables. Flaws? Emergency gasoline units, conservative interior and annoying, albeit not major, but still unpleasant breakdowns.

The world's first 6-speed automatic transmission 09G (Aisin TF-60/61SN) - since 2003 it has been used in almost all front-wheel drive models VAG with engines from 1.4 to 2.0 liters. Developed Japanese company Aisin on the instructions of VAG, which took upon itself the design and settings of electrics, ECUs and aggregation with the engines of its cars. 09G is designed for torque up to 280 N/m. First real competitor manual transmission and DSG, settings and shift speed allow you to drive aggressively and close to the limiting moments.

One of typical problems 09G is a torque converter. It operates with a wide "slip mode". The locking pressure is supplied not by a conventional solenoid valve, but by a PWM solenoid. This mode increases efficiency, but at the same time accelerates the wear of the torque converter friction lining several times.

In the summer, to combat rapid lining wear, sensors on some vehicles notify the TCM ECU when a critical temperature of 130° has been reached and the “slip mode” may be canceled.

If you maintain cleanliness and oil temperature in this automatic transmission up to 100 g, then it will run forever. As usual, change the oil every 60 thousand km (even more often when driving aggressively). The 09th series is sensitive to the correct level ATF oils, which is checked at t=40°±5° at the level of the overflow tube in the pan, the filter does not change with an oil change, because To do this you need to disassemble the automatic transmission.

How does 09G fail?

• The torque converter clutch engages with slipping starting from 3rd speed, without waiting for the speed of rotation of the engine shaft and transmission to equalize. At the same time, it actively wears out and contaminates the oil with hard and sticky powder. This aggressive suspension enters the channels of the valve body and solenoids, clogs the spools, and prevents the springs and solenoids from working. In addition, it wears out all sliding surfaces. It is expressed in shocks, delays in turning on and off the packages, and there is a difference between working in cold and hot oil.
• The plungers and valves jam and do not provide enough oil pressure to one of the packages, leaks and oil flows form in worn areas, and the pressure in the clutch packages critically decreases. Which is already expressed in the wear of the clutch clutches and the box feels like it “doesn’t pull.” Repair of the valve body consists of cleaning and replacing critically worn valves and batteries for repair.

When is DSG 7 repair required?

The DSG 7 gearbox has a distinctive feature: it uses dry clutches and, as a result, it has a small volume of oil (1.7 liters, poured in doses), which is only required to lubricate the mechanical part (it is not used to cool the clutch). Efficiency increases and, accordingly, fuel consumption decreases. The cost of repairing a DSG 7 for the consumer is relatively low, since it is rare that both the mechatronics and the clutch break down at once.

Latest DSG generation 7 are more reliable, but still the weak points are the same - the clutch and mechatronics. It is with them that box repair is most often associated.

What does a DSG 7 repair consist of?

Replacing the DSG 7 clutch

Old clutch - jammed, no gap at all

Old clutch - even both bearings are overheated

The clutch itself is a fairly reliable mechanism, but over time they still wear out. In this case, the DSG 7 Skoda Yeti clutch is replaced. The box has 6 speeds, which is known to be a wet gearbox this procedure is carried out much less frequently (about once every 150-200 thousand km under conditions of moderate use, although cars with mileages of about 300 thousand km arrived quite often) than in a dry-type gearbox, where replacing the clutch with a DSG 7 may be necessary already, starting from 25-30 thousand km.

You should also know that the clutch responsible for odd gears wears out faster, because it is responsible for the operation of 1st and reverse gears ( increased load). Constantly driving in traffic jams also negatively affects the clutch life.

Initially, manufacturers of 6 and 7 speed DSGs provided the possibility of replacing clutches in the gearbox and, accordingly, produce repair kits. After this procedure, clutch adaptation is required. We provide a 1-year guarantee for this work (replacement+adjustment+adaptation+installation).

Repair and replacement of mechatronics DSG 7

In the vast majority of cases, problems with a dual-clutch transmission begin with the mechatronics (it actually controls the switching process). On DSG 6, on average, everything happens later than on DSG 7.

Problems with it may arise due to the fur. wear of the solenoids (jerks appear). In this case usually complete replacement mechatronics are not required, and only the solenoids are changed.

The second problem area is the electronic unit mechatronics control, problems usually arise with it due to overheating (when starting on cold system goes into emergency mode). If the unit cannot be restored, then it is replaced and then reprogrammed for the desired machine. We reprogram DQ200 DQ250 mechatronics for a specific vehicle.

Typical symptoms of malfunctions

Basically, a harbinger of problems is the appearance of jerks and jolts when starting to move and when switching to low gears(switch down). With more worst case scenario- the gearbox does not turn on and, accordingly, the car does not drive. In most cases, the box goes into emergency mode, which does not go away when the errors are reset (not always). You shouldn’t leave it to chance, as the rule always works - the sooner, the cheaper it is to repair the mechatronics DSG 7 Skoda Yeti 1.2 1.4 1.6 0AM 0CW, etc.

What to do if mechatronics repair is not possible?

This happens quite often (usually after accidents). It needs to be replaced with a used one, repaired or new, and then reprogrammed for the car you need. We have used, repair mechatronics for DSG 7 in stock. On the spot we will reprogram it for the desired vehicle within 20 minutes. The cost of work is indicated in the table (see above).

Mechanical part DSG 7

There are also problems with it.

Wear of bearings produces noise when moving, which increases with the number of revolutions and speed. It can be solved by opening and then replacing the set of bearings.

The shift fork is destroyed - even gears disappear and reverse. It goes into emergency mode.

Destruction of the needle bearing on the input shaft, oil seal leakage input shaft. For those who change the clutch, it is strongly recommended to replace these 2 parts.

How does DSG6 work?

The DSG 6 (DQ250) gearbox uses wet clutches. The 1st clutch is responsible for engaging odd gears and reverse speed, the second is responsible for even transfers. This design allows you to connect next transmission while the previous one is still working, and switch under load without interrupting the transmission of torque to the wheels. The weight of this 6 step box~ 93 kg, which is noticeably more than that of the DSG-7.

The control of clutch operation and gear shifting is carried out by a special unit in the gearbox - mechatronics, which, in its work, uses readings specialized sensors and others electronic systems car.

In general, the DSG6 is a fairly reliable transmission, much less problematic than its 7-speed brother, but at the same time, it also needs to be repaired. Problems can be due to bearing wear, clutch wear, as well as the dual-mass flywheel and, of course, mechatronics. Any of these problems can be solved quite inexpensively - both partial and major renovation DSG 6 Skoda Yeti 1.4 1.8 2.0. It is also possible to replace it with a contract DSG6 (DQ250) with reprogramming of the mechatronics for the desired vehicle.

But still, the most problematic components in this checkpoint are:

Usually, problems with these end up being sent to the DQDL service for box repair.

What is it made up of? DSG repair 6?

Repair/replacement of mechatronics DSG-6

Problems with mechatronics can arise due to the mech. wear of the solenoids (jerks appear). In this case, usually a complete replacement of the mechatronics is not required, but only the solenoids are changed.

Mechatronik 02E DQ250

The second problem area is the mechatronics electronic control unit; problems with it usually arise due to overheating (when started on a cold system, the system goes into emergency mode). If the unit cannot be restored, then it is replaced and then reprogrammed for the desired machine. We reprogram DSG6 DQ250 02E mechatronics for a specific vehicle.

Replacing the DSG-6 clutch

If the clutch of the DSG6 gearbox wears out significantly, the ECU begins to extend the clutch engagement rod as much as possible, thereby forcing the oil pump to constantly work. As a result, it begins to overheat (usually the contact insulation melts), and a short circuit may occur in the DSG ECU itself (due to increased temperature).

The clutch that is most subject to wear is the one responsible for the odd gears, since with its help the car starts moving (and as is known at this moment the maximum load). The condition of the clutch (its liveliness) can be determined through diagnostics.

Skoda Yeti is a compact crossover from a Czech company. It is distinguished by its pleasant appearance, moderate cost and quite acceptable reliability, quite comparable to the reliability of German cars.

In order to choose a supported Skoda Yeti correctly, and not regret your choice in the future, you need to follow following rules and recommendations.
As mentioned above, the Skoda Yeti is a fairly reliable car that brings a minimum of problems to its owner, but vulnerabilities he still has it.

Weaknesses of the Skoda Yeti

• 1.2 l engine;
• DSG7 gearbox;
• clutch;
• silent blocks;
• valve train chain.

Now more details...

Painting of body parts.

The problem has been recognized by the Czech car manufacturer and is warranty case. Due to poor-quality primer, the paintwork on the front fenders, hood and roof was warped and blistered within a year of use.

Naturally, the car’s elements were painted (or even changed!) under warranty, but a particularly picky buyer may refuse to purchase a painted car. That is why, if the meter paint coating shows thickening on the wings and hood, which indicates painting; you must ask the owner for a service book, in which data on painting under warranty will be entered.

If such information is not included in the service book, then the car has been in an accident and has been repainted. It is better to refuse to buy it.

The Skoda Yeti can be equipped with a range of petrol or diesel engines. If you plan to drive exclusively around the city, you should choose a gasoline engine. If the crossover will be used in light off-road, then a reliable diesel engine is the best option.
But it is better to refrain from purchasing a Skoda Yeti with a low-power 1.2-liter turbocharged engine. This engine is not enough for the weight of the car, it is unreliable and very demanding on fuel quality. Moreover, the turbine of these engines is a complete headache.
The most preferred option is a 1.8 liter petrol engine. This is a time-tested engine developed by the Volkswagen concern. It has a cast iron block and is very unpretentious to the quality of gasoline. The power unit perfectly “digests” 92-grade gasoline, and its resource exceeds 500,000 kilometers.

Transmission.

If you are not a blue-eyed blonde, then a seven-speed automatic transmission It's better not to even look. DSG7 is not the most reliable and durable unit, and repairing such a gearbox will cost a lot of money.
It is best to opt for a six-speed gearbox, which has been installed on cars for several years now, and its reliability is beyond praise. This unit will withstand a mileage of 100-120 thousand kilometers without any repairs.

Chronic disease Skoda Yeti. If ringing sounds appear when you turn on the gears (they are produced by damping springs), then it’s time to change the clutch. Replacing the clutch will cost about a thousand dollars.

Backlash of silent blocks.

If the car has traveled a significant distance (within 80,000 kilometers), or has often been used for off-road driving, then the silent blocks have probably worn out. Of course, these are consumable parts, but they often wear out, and this is worth taking into account when buying a car. In order to quickly identify a malfunction, you need to drive along dirt road or try to drive onto the curb. If an unpleasant creaking or grinding noise occurs during active operation of the shock absorbers, then it is necessary to change the silent blocks. The cost of repairs is 500-600 dollars.

This sore spot Skoda Yeti with a 1.2 liter engine. Due to stretching of the timing chain. As a result, the sound of a running diesel engine can be heard from under the hood. The chain is weak and its resource is around 50 thousand km.

The main disadvantages of the Skoda Yeti

1. poor vibration and noise insulation;
2. weak heater (in winter it takes a long time to warm up);
3. for a crossover a small trunk;
4. rigid suspension;
5. soft windshield;
6. small rear view mirrors;
7. crickets in the round edges of the instrument panel and rubber door seals;
8. Over time, play in the driver's seat appears.

Conclusion.
Based on all of the above, when choosing a Skoda Yeti, you need to decide which engine and which gearbox will be future car, in order to avoid further unpleasant and wasteful moments.

Thus, the ideal Skoda Yeti is secondary market– this is a car with a 1.8 liter petrol engine, six-speed gearbox gears and with minimal off-road mileage. But even when choosing such a car, it is necessary to carefully inspect it. Ideally, take it to a car service center and carry out a full diagnosis.

P.S: Write about frequent breakdowns and the shortcomings of this car model in the comments below, identified by you during operation.

   The used car market in Russia is still large; it has its own laws and regulations. What do you need to know when purchasing a specific used car? What components and assemblies need to be diagnosed first? Characteristic diseases, cost of operation, features of insurance, warranty and post-warranty service, as well as do-it-yourself repair of specific car models.

   I have owned a Skoda Yeti for 3 years, the engine is 1.2, by the way, it also has a cast iron block, mileage is 130,000 km, the car is very energetic, power in the city for the eyes, I only fill up with fuel AU 92, consumption in the city is 8 liters, it doesn’t eat oil at all, I’ve had people here praising the 1.8 tsi since 2010, 152 hp in a word, it's crap after a mileage of 70,000, it began to consume 500 g of oil per 1000 km, after 100,000 miles, oil consumption increased to 1 liter per 1000 km

   It seems that the article was written to order or by a less than competent person. I have owned Yeti for eight years now, mileage 180,000 km, 1.2 engine. This engine is much superior to the 1.6 in terms of dynamics and does not consume oil at all. It was absolutely funny to read that the car is poorly heated in winter. If you have already decided to become a writer, then ask the experts how long it takes to heat the interior of the special stove that is installed on all cars with a 1.2 engine. The car hasn’t left the garage yet, but it’s already hot inside. By the way, the chain has never been tightened and not extraneous sounds Can not hear. The body has only chips from stones and not an ounce of rust.
   Conclusion - the article was written for the sake of the article. I would love to take exactly the same one now, but unfortunately they don’t sell it anymore.

   You are most likely lucky with the configurations, because much of what is described is inherent in this bucket.

   I categorically disagree with any expert’s conclusion on the 1.2 liter eti. I've had it since 2012. I drove actively for the first 2-3 years, now less than 110,000 have passed, I changed something in the chassis, only spark plugs in the engine, diagnostics showed normal condition This is despite the fact that from the first day I poured only 92-grade gasoline into it and it showed the passport consumption data, I changed the spark plugs at 50-60 thousand, I have no serious complaints. From memory I put the emblem on the back door - it flew away, the quality of the car's paintwork leaves much to be desired..., under the hood in some places the plastic breaks, either from frost or from vibration - the fastening of the hood strut, the control valve. Control loop in driver's door repaired. On our roads, I think, regardless of the configuration and brand, I changed many rubber bands, this happens on many cars. Sometimes I walked along the highway with the climate control on in the heat with a fuel consumption of 5.5-6 liters. I'm very pleased with the car. Much depends on what kind of “fool” is driving.

   I have owned Yeti 1.2 since September 2011. As of April 2019, the mileage is 223 thousand km. Overall I'm happy with the car. According to the resource: the timing chain was changed at the 204th thousand, the clutch under warranty at the 149th thousand, the mechatronics died at the 154th thousand. Gasoline - only 95. Oil changed according to the manufacturer's recommendation after 15 thousand. Candles last up to 65 thousand. Something like that.
