1.2 TSI (CBZB) valves and camshaft design
The list of Volkswagen's petrol engines stated that the 1.2 TSI (CBZx codes) is 8-valve SOHC type. However, VW's ELSA lists the CBZB engine as 16-valve (four per cylinder, which also means it must be DOHC, I suppose). This might be a typo, so if somebody has more precise information, it will be much appreciated. — Luchesar • T/C 00:36, 26 March 2010 (UTC)

Past tense?
The Yeti isn't sold (new) anymore in my country. Perhaps we should rewrite the article in past tense?  PizzaMan  ♨♨♨  19:12, 6 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Examples still exist in people's driveways, so the car should be mentioned in the present tense. However, it can be mentioned in the past tense for manufactured and sold. Each case needs to be separated into an action (past tense) and an example of a feature on a car that is likely to exist in somebody's driveway today (present tense). For example, I can point to a particular Yeti and say 'This was built in 2011 and has the 1.8 litre petrol engine.' This is what we aim to do for all vehicles on WP.

 * That sounds very logical, but the article was a mess and properly applying those principles can be tricky. For example, the section on the facelift is more about the introduction of the facelift model than about the cars currently driving around, so a past tense reads better there. Drawing a clear line can be tricky. Moreover, jumping back and forth between past tense and present tense can make for an ugly writing style. Anyway, i tried to patch up the article a bit. I guess the only true clear-cut solution would be to go out and destroy every Yeti still in service and rewrite the whole article to past tense ;-)  PizzaMan  ♨♨♨  12:33, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Please don't do that.  The Yeti is (still) a useful car competitively priced - more so, I understand from Auto Motor u.Sport than its successor, at least in mainland Europe.   Thanks, partly, to what we are encouraged to call the diesel scandal there may still be a few unregistered "new" Yetis sitting around waiting for customers.   Existing Yetis do not deserve to be destroyed to support a semantic tiff on wikipedia.


 * People have been getting agitated in the wikipedia automobiles section about the difference between the past and the present tense for many years, and the present "wiki-conventions" represent a consensus of sorts among active contributors.  There is generally something more important to become excited about it than this.   Volgens mij.   Also, of course, with the effluxion of time, tense adjustments become necessary.   But since you have gone through the entry improving it, thank you.   For what it's worth, I agree with (most of) what you have done.   Success.  Charles01 (talk) 14:06, 11 April 2018 (UTC)


 * Thanks, great improvements. If some new models are still waiting to be sold, it becomes increasingly fuzzy what tense to use. Reminds me of the part in the Hitchhiker's guide to the galaxy about what verbs to use when time traveling gets involved. Verb tense is a small detail indeed; fortunately once a model is out of production, adjusting the verbs is a one time effort. Anyway, you were just in time to convince me not to go out there and destroy all Yeti's in existence. I will most definitely try to threaten and bribe Skoda out of re-introducing it if they ever plan to, though ;-)  PizzaMan  ♨♨♨  15:35, 11 April 2018 (UTC)

Biased part
This section seems quite biased ''In May 2017 Škoda Australia advised that a software update had been released by VW for DSG transmissions to reduce wear in the dual clutch assemblies. This is achieved by automatically disengaging the clutch without warning when the clutch temperature reaches 200°C. This design change also introduces a variable delayed throttle response and shuddering in first gear as "normal operation".''
