pky Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 Today's the day my faithful friend is going to the big scrap pile in the sky. After 220,000, the day has come. After another power steering leak amongst some other issues it had to end. Never left me stranded! Now driving a '14 Skoda Yeti 2.0 tdi 170. Quicker than the old girl by nature and handles well enough but just not the same. Just want to say thank you for everyone's help on this forum. Great resource and kept me on the road on a limited budget and improved my knowledge no end. I'll be back! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devonboy Posted March 13, 2017 Share Posted March 13, 2017 I had a Skoda Octavia, pretty damned good car, but stay well clear of a Fabia. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pky Posted March 20, 2017 Author Share Posted March 20, 2017 I've enjoyed reading something positive about the 1.6 tdci's. When I was looking for something new, after reading how much they needed nursing I discounted looking at them. Everything will last if you look after it. I can report that after a week that my grandad-wagon is quite good fun. One fun fact is on the Yeti forum I think I might be the youngest at 36 . It's begging for a remap though. For a weekend I had a borrowed tuning box on and that was fun! If you see a Yeti travelling faster than say 46 MPH then wave because it's probably me. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
