Superchips Bluefin Remap
Superchips used to map VW’s competition engines and of course the Yeti engine is a VW unit, so they know what they are doing. VW/Skoda produced several types of 2 litre diesel engines and the Yeti was available with 110bhp, 140bhp (as per my car) and 170bhp. The 140 and 170 engines are mechanically the same, and significantly more sophisticated than the 110bhp engine.
The Bluefin upgrade effectively turns the 140bhp engine into the 170bhp version. It provides a massive increase in mid-range punch as well as (based on many identical 200-mile journeys before and after the upgrade) a 5% improvement in fuel consumption.
The map is specific to this particular engine. The original map is uploaded to Superchips who then return an appropriately upgraded version for installation. If required later on, the unit can be plugged in and the car returned to standard in minutes, and then back to the upgrade again, ad infinitum.
Garmin Nuvi Sat-Nav
The sat-nav is a Garmin nuvi 2598LMT-D and came with free lifetime map updates (up to three per year) and live traffic inputs, allowing continuous monitoring of the fastest route to the destination.
This installation allows it to be folded out of sight when not needed. It is plugged in to a switched USB socket and the cables are only visible if you peer inside the cubby. When in use, the cubby lid is only half open and does not obstruct the driver’s vew at all.
Skoda Internal Bike-Rack
This inventive design from Skoda allows you to secure two adult bikes in the back, with the rear seats removed, simply by removing the front wheels and dropping the forks onto the rack.
I will gladly demonstrate the rack in operation as part of the vehicle hand-over.
