Hi All
Just wanted to give you a quick heads up on my nearly 4000ks in my 1.2dsg yeti after getting the windows tinted and floor mats made (as i am too much of a tight arse to give the dealer anymore cash and get them off them
see post below to see nightmare-ish buying story)
i got the polish/wax sorted within the first week (autoglym super resin polish and hd wax). i tried getting my phone book to sync with the radio and it wouldn't have it, until about 2 weeks later while driving home from work it just automatically picked it up. So the drive to work now is such a breeze compared to my old ride. i am getting in between 6.4l and 7.4l per 100k so i am happy with that, i did a day trip away and was averaging 5.4l on that journey..even better
so it's been to the local vw garage to get its 1000k check - albeit 1500ks late - and was told that it needed a shim in the turbo (something to do with over revving, not all models but some and mine must have been one of the ones that needed doing) so had to go back the following week to get that done
'ive seen 2 other yetis on the road and waved both times only to be blanked
on both occasions, maybe because the 2 drivers seemed to be over 60 and didn't realise they were members of this select group of people (who my wife calls Geeks) but i was expecting a little wave at least ....lol
i am still parking at the far side of the shopping center away from all obstacles and generally treating the car like a new born. the only thing i have done wrong several times is when driving keeping my hand on the gear stick (old manual habits) and sometimes while going round bends etc, knocking the gearstick to the left hence engaging the manual mode of the gears and not realizing till the engine is revving and i'm not moving any quicker and people are looking at me/the car. maybe if i turned my talking audio books down i might hear the engine better ....lol (wow reading this back to myself i am getting old! talking books, WTF? in my defence its better than the drivel they call music nowadays ...look i am doing it again - getting old
anyway loving the car
