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 stability systems that help drivers cope with certain critical situations. These systems, along with seat belts and airbags, are among the most important elements of the active safety system.
Myths about security systems Due to poor awareness of the principles of operation of auxiliary systems, there are many rumors among amateurs. Among the most frequently heard myths are the following incorrect statements:
ABS system increases braking distance;
With the help of 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

In 2009, the Czech automaker Skoda presented a brand new compact crossover called Yeti. The car turned out to be successful, as evidenced by the model's sales statistics. In just 4 years, over 290 thousand copies of the car were sold. The unprecedented success is associated with the adaptation of the crossover to the corporate style.

The design of the model appealed to many European car enthusiasts: the Yeti is characterized by a strict and laconic exterior combined with structurally successful power plants. We will tell you exactly what the service life of the Skoda Yeti engine is in this article.

Crossover powertrain options

Sales of the crossover 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 harsh climates. 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 configurations became available - the all-wheel drive 1.8 TSI.

Crossover assemblies have the following advantages:

• independent McPherson 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 with both mechanics and a “robot,” but a diesel engine can only be combined with a DSG. The variety of transmissions also contributed to an increase in sales of the model and protected the Czechs from failure, which happened, for example, with the Ford Kuga, sold in Russia only with a manual transmission.

The reliability of Czech cars has been talked about for several years now. Over the past few years, Skoda has significantly modernized its powertrain production technology. The base engine of the Skoda Yeti is a 1.2-liter naturally aspirated TSI engine. Crossover owners have different opinions about this engine. We can say that drivers are divided into two large camps: supporters and opponents of the small-displacement unit. Although this modification will not allow you to fully experience the whole drive of driving, there is one thing you can’t blame it for – reliability and a long service life. With proper maintenance, a 1.2-liter engine will cover at least 280 thousand kilometers.

The remaining 1.6 and 1.8 liter versions 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 replace engine oil, spark plugs and filters within the prescribed period. During 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 maintain the integrity of the parts of the cylinder-piston group. Consequently, the 1.6 and 1.8 liter engine can last at least 300 thousand kilometers.

Owner reviews

The diesel modification of the Skoda Yeti performs well on domestic diesel fuel. The engine is distinguished not only by moderate fuel consumption, but also by a fairly solid service life - 320 thousand kilometers or more. To increase the service life of the motor, professionals recommend using RVS-Master. The repair and restoration 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 in more detail about the service life of the Skoda Yeti 1.2, 1.6, 1.8 liter engine.

Engine 1.2

1. Yuri, Nizhny Novgorod. In 2014, I purchased a Skoda Yeti with a low-power turbocharged 1.2-liter engine. Of course, you won’t be able to accelerate very much in such a car, but it is moderately power-hungry and quite reliable. 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 the auto repair shop more than once to conduct a thorough diagnosis of the car. The turbine was also in perfect condition, its service life 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 don’t take care of the car, it will break down after 50 thousand. In general, don’t hesitate and buy a Yeti with a 1.2 engine if the efficiency and reliability of the engine are important to you.
2. Anatoly, Moscow. I've been driving a Skoda Yeti since 2013. The mileage has already exceeded 120 thousand km. During this time, I only replaced the washer on the turbine under warranty. There were no more breakdowns. Regarding increased oil consumption. It is indeed observed in crossover assemblies until 2014, after which the manufacturer solved this problem. How I dealt with the increased consumption - I switched from my original oil to Elf 5W30 and the car’s “appetite” returned to normal. I replace it every 9,000 km, change the filters immediately, and change the pump once. Now about the timing chain. It lasts for 150 thousand, as many experts say, and I trust them, because my car has already passed more than a hundred thousand. They often write on the Internet that the chain does not reach this mark, but this is absolutely not true.
3. Nikolay, Voronezh. I have owned a Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI since 2015. The car is very convenient, adapted for use in our country. There were almost never any problems with it, the service from the dealer was at the highest level. The timing chain is resource-intensive, I have already covered 70 thousand km on the car, the engine is still like new. I would like to give some advice to crossover owners: do not leave the car without a handbrake, because if the car moves at any time, the chain may slip, which is fraught with unnecessary hassle. Regarding oil consumption: the manufacturer himself stated that for every 1 pump, a car normally consumes 1 liter of oil, and over time the figure can actually increase.

Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI does not like short trips. A turbocharged engine requires complete warming up; if this does not happen, problems with the engine and minor breakdowns begin. To increase its service life, it is important to timely replace spark plugs, as well as use repair and restoration compounds.

Engine 1.6

1. Alexey, Tyumen. I have a Skoda Yeti 1.6 MPI with 105 horsepower, plus a manual transmission. This is a completely new motor that has practically nothing in common with the previous CFNA series. It is part of the TSI engine family, but it lacks a turbine and a direct fuel injection system. I have already driven the car for 120,000 km, and have done nothing except regulated work. Service from the dealer is inexpensive and of fairly high quality. I tried not to clog up the engine with cheap fuel and oil; I only fill up at Lukoil with AI-95 and use the original oil. It’s unlikely that I’ll be able to get to half a million, but why do I need it? By that time, the car will already be obsolete, but 300-350 thousand km for such a crossover is a very real resource.
2. Maxim, Volgograd. I became a car dealer in 2015, when I purchased a Yeti 1.6 MPI on the secondary market, the car itself was produced in 2012. I received a crossover in excellent condition, the previous owner took care of the car and underwent maintenance on time. Now the mileage is already 200 thousand kilometers. The chain was changed once, and, as far as I know, it is much more reliable than in the 1.2-liter version. Whatever one may say, the MPI power unit is less prone to breakdowns due to the lack of a turbocharging system. The distributed fuel injection system allows you to refuel the car with almost any gasoline. No, it is still advisable to purchase fuel from a reliable supplier. But the likelihood of failure of such an engine due to refueling with low-quality fuel is much less.
3. Kirill, Moscow. Very reliable car, I enjoy every trip. There were no problems with the car in 4 years of operation. The engine has completed 100k miles, 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. I also didn't have any problems with the transmission, the box works great. Regarding the suspension, we had to change the wheel bearing, as well as rubber seals. But, as you understand, these are trifles.

The Skoda Yeti 1.6 MPI is characterized by high power and long service life. This engine modification does not have a turbine, which has a positive effect on the duration of stable operation of the power unit. Crossover owners speak positively about the 1.6-liter engine, calling it average and the most acceptable option for use in Russia.

Engine 1.8

Skoda Yeti 1.8 is one of the most preferred options for Russian car enthusiasts. A crossover with this power unit is unpretentious, stable, and has a long service life. With proper maintenance, it will take 280-300 thousand kilometers before the first major overhaul.

The restyled version of the Skoda Yeti crossover, which appeared in Russia at the beginning of 2014, is built on the same platform as the Skoda Octavia A5 and. The PQ35 “trolley” used for all these cars provides a fully independent suspension: front MacPherson strut and rear multi-link. In terms of overall dimensions, the Suzuki Vitara is close to the Skoda Yeti.

The range of engines offered for the Czech model has undergone changes during the car's presence on the Russian market. At the time of sales start in 2014, the crossover had the following engines in its arsenal:

• 1.2 TSI 105 hp, 175 Nm. Turbocharged engine with a compact cylinder head, one camshaft, 2 valves per cylinder, 1.6 bar boost and direct injection with a pressure of 150 bar.
• 1.4 TSI 122 hp, 200 Nm. Gasoline four-cylinder “turbo-four” with direct injection into the combustion chambers, a small turbine with a boost pressure of 1.8 bar and inlet phase shifters.
• 1.8 TSI 152 hp, 250 Nm. The most powerful available gasoline unit is installed on the all-wheel drive modification of the Skoda Yeti.
• 2.0 TDI 140 hp, 320 Nm. The only diesel engine with a capacity of 1968 cc. with battery injection and variable geometry turbine. It has several boost options, in this case a 140-horsepower version of the engine is used. The diesel engine only operates in all-wheel drive configuration.

In 2015, the Skoda Yeti's engine range was adjusted. The 1.2 TSI turbo unit gave way to a 1.6-liter naturally aspirated engine, which has undergone modernization. Updated engine with 110 hp output. and a peak torque of 155 Nm since the end of 2015, it has been assembled at the plant in Kaluga. In addition to the Skoda Yeti, a number of other models also received such an engine. Other changes in the line of power units include the replacement of the 122-horsepower 1.4 TSI with a 125-horsepower version with improved technical characteristics and the exclusion of the 2.0 TDI turbodiesel.

Thus, the current list of Yeti modifications for 2016-2017 looks like this:

• 1.6 MPI 110 hp, 155 Nm + 5-speed manual transmission;
• 1.6 MPI 110 hp, 155 Nm + 6-speed automatic transmission;
• 1.4 TSI 125 hp, 200 Nm + 6 manual transmission;
• 1.4 TSI 125 hp, 200 Nm + 7DSG;
• 1.8 TSI 152 hp, 250 nm + 6DSG + all-wheel drive.

The Skoda Yeti all-wheel drive system is based on the 5th generation Haldex clutch. With its help, up to 90% of the torque can be sent to the rear axle, but by default almost all of the thrust is sent forward. Ground clearance of 180 mm, coupled with an all-wheel drive transmission, allows you to make off-road forays.

The 125-horsepower 1.4 TSI has the best efficiency among Skoda Yeti engines. Regardless of the gearbox, it consumes an average of about 5.8 liters of gasoline per 100 km. The fuel consumption of the all-wheel drive version with a top-end 152-horsepower engine is about 8 liters.

What are they saying about the nature of the crossover with Czech genes?

The accumulated reviews of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 manual regarding dynamic qualities claim that the combination has a completely compromise temperament. An engine with a superbly tuned turbine, direct injection and a six-speed manual transmission with environmental inclinations simultaneously contribute to the achievement of excellent elasticity and acceptable fuel consumption. This means that we can assert 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;
• "hundred" shot after 8.4 seconds;
• 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 readily pulls from the very bottom, but doesn’t let you down even at the top. On the highway it consumes about 7.2-7.3 l/100 km when driving at a speed of about 120 km/h, in the city with traffic jams “11.2 liters per hundred. You can confidently overtake – the power reserve is colossal. For country trips, the dynamics are enough for the eyes: from 120 it’s easy to accelerate not only to 170 km/h, but also to 200 km/h.”

All-wheel drive, tied to a fourth-generation electronically controlled Haldex clutch, coupled with 180 mm ground clearance is a strong argument in favor of off-road capabilities. According to reviews from owners of Skoda Yeti 1.8 with manual th on board, the equipment capacity is quite sufficient to overcome various obstacles encountered on shallow off-road terrain. In addition, the electronics masterfully cope with diagonal hanging.

Unfortunately, the suspension also imposes European values. The car enthusiast gave the following description of the temperament of this part of the vehicle:

“Up to 70 km/h, you get the feeling that the shock absorbers are not fulfilling their obligations at all. Joints and small irregularities are clearly felt. Following a large hole at low speeds, there is always a hard impact.”

Other settings match the balance shifted towards drive:

• sharp steering wheel;
• small rolls;
• excellent straight line stability, eliminating the need for steering even in ruts.

What do reviews tell you about the reliability of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with manual transmission and all-wheel drive?

Compared to the 1.2-liter units, the older unit looks not only more solid, but also more reliable - this is precisely the consideration that guides the majority of consumers who have chosen the 1.8 TSI engine. However, the power plant still has negative aspects.

Modifications with a seven-speed “preselective” gearbox were equipped with a slightly derated CDAA 1.8 TSI power plant (152 hp), where the situation with oil appetite occasionally became problematic. The neighboring model, the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with a manual transmission, was criticized by almost all reviews for its high oil consumption. Here's what the owner of a 2010 Yeti writes:

“I regularly add 200-250 ml of synthetics per 1,000 km, and my driving style is far from aggressive - I rarely turn above 5,000 rpm, and traffic jams are rare in our city.”

Many owners were diagnosed with exceeding the factory oil consumption limit (0.5 l/1,000 km), after which the dealer replaced four pistons. Sometimes exceeding the standard lubricant consumption rate is due to incorrect operation of the oil separator. In November 2011, 1.8-liter units with the problem of high oil consumption had already been resolved. Their serial number is older than CDA_221245.

Sometimes the following problems are observed:

• metallic chirping, indicating the need to replace the timing chain and mandatory inspection of the tensioner;
• uneven acceleration, which can be eliminated by replacing the spark plugs;
• a metallic knock, often indicating a malfunction of the high-pressure fuel pump.

In general, both owners and experienced motorists emphasize that the oil needs to be changed more often - after about 8-9 thousand km, and it is advisable to exclude trips with short cycles, since full warm-up of the engine takes quite a long time.

The reliability of the mechanics in general is rated by the owners of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 as far from “excellent”. Only at the level of comfort, many are not satisfied with the long-throw gearshift lever. But in fact, almost everyone is faced with phenomena that are unnatural for a working unit on almost new copies (with a mileage of less than 10,000 km):

• squeals and grinding noises from the clutch, especially when moving downhill;
• extraneous sound when disengaging the clutch;
• Difficulty engaging 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 any trouble during operation. A Yeti owner noted:

“I dealt with Haldex center couplings of previous generations. It was the coupling that always lasted a very long time, but the hydraulic pumps had to be repaired often, or even replaced altogether. In the fourth generation, the pumps are much more reliable if you compare the mileage figures.”

How are things going with comfort?

The most important criterion for any driver is ease of entry. And, judging by the opinions of the owners, the requirement was fulfilled “excellently” - after all, in general, the geometry of the workplace was migrated from the VW Tiguan. Almost all reviews of the Skoda Yeti 1.8 with pre-installed mechanics note the stiffness of the seats.

Sound insulation is a key advantage of this car. Otherwise, the owners emphasize the following features:

• ergonomics has one significant drawback: in most cases, the convenient position of the steering wheel rim overlaps the sectors of the tachometer and speedometer;
• the panel is capable of creaking both when driving over uneven surfaces at low speeds and in the cold;
• audiophiles will clearly not like the sound quality;
• climate control functions at the proper level.

In terms of electrical equipment with high frequency, the question is raised about the adequacy of the readings of the device indicating the fuel level in the tank. At the same time, it is practically impossible to diagnose the cause.

Summary

Numerous reviews of the European crossover Skoda Yeti 1.8 with manual transmission 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, which requires replacement at 20-25 thousand km, even with careful operation;
• abnormal sounds observed when operating the clutch, often indicating the need to replace the dual-mass flywheel.

The balance of dynamic and economic qualities here is quite good - the actual average consumption is about 9 l/100 km, acceleration to “hundreds”: 8.4 s. Regarding other qualities of the car, reviews give the following subjective assessments:

• rigid suspension;
• sharp steering wheel;
• excellent sound insulation;
• good maneuverability;
• comfortable fit.

Many people encounter an ergonomic miscalculation when a conveniently adjusted steering wheel overlaps the instrument cluster. Some people are not satisfied with the sound of the standard audio system.
