Problems with the Skoda Yeti 1.2 engine. Choosing the right used Skoda Yeti is easy

01.09.2016

The Skoda Yeti appeared on our market not so long ago, but the interest of car enthusiasts, sales volumes and positive reviews from owners do not allow us to ignore this car, moreover, the number of offers on the secondary market is quite large, plus prices for used Skoda Yeti have become much more affordable. Name " Yeti» translated from English – Big Foot. But now let’s try to figure out what qualities this aged animal has and how justified the costs of purchasing it will be.

Advantages and disadvantages of Skoda Yeti with mileage.

The Skoda Yeti is built on a platform that is common to many models of the concern, and is assembled for our market in the Czech Republic, Kazakhstan, Ukraine and Russia. Thanks to its unusual appearance, which is complemented by high-mounted fog lights, the Yeti stood out from its competitors. The car was presented in 2009, and in 2013 it was restyled, during which the car lost its expressive features. During operation, a weak point of Skoda Yeti bodies was identified - these are the sills and the lower parts of the doors; over time, the paint chips off on them, and pockets of corrosion appear. Otherwise, there are no complaints about the corrosion resistance of the body. If the previous owner slammed the trunk door, you cannot avoid replacing the lock limit switch, which can only be replaced as an assembly with the lock.

Skoda Yeti engines.

The Skoda Yeti has a fairly wide range of gasoline and diesel power units:

• Gasoline engines: 1.2 (105 hp), 1.4 (125 hp), 1.6 (110 hp), 1.8 (152 and 160 hp)
• Diesel: 1.6 (105 hp), 2 (110, 140 and 170 hp)

Yeti with a 1.2 engine has several unpleasant features, namely loud operation after starting, unstable idle speed and stalling engine. If you hear a diesel rumble on a gasoline engine, this is the first sign that the timing chain has already stretched and urgently needs to be replaced; in most cases, this malfunction occurs on cars with a mileage of 50,000 km or more. Another headache for owners of cars with a TSI 1.2 engine is a drop in speed at the beginning of movement, often accompanied by a sound signal and the inclusion of an error indicator on the console ( check). The reason for this engine behavior is a faulty turbocharger ( repairs will cost 500 – 600 USD), on cars manufactured after 2011, this problem has been eliminated. Owners also complain that the engine warms up for a long time in winter; as a result, warm air does not enter the cabin for a very long time. In the 1.6 MPI engine, the ignition coil is considered the weak point.

The 1.8 engine is much more reliable and is endowed with excellent dynamics, accelerating from 0 to 100 in 8.4 seconds. The only trouble that can arise with this engine is the failure of the timing chain tensioner; also, such an engine has increased oil consumption; from replacement to replacement, the consumption is 1 - 1.5 liters of oil. The 1.4 TSI engine appeared relatively recently, so there are practically no statistics on it.

In the two-liter diesel engine, problems were noted with the sealing rings of the fuel injectors; because of this, diesel fuel gets into the oil system; otherwise, diesel engines have proven to be quite reliable and digest our diesel fuel quite well. In addition, turbodiesel engines have good torque and low fuel consumption; in urban mode, the average is 6 liters per hundred.

Transmission Skoda Yeti.

The Skoda Yeti is equipped with one of three gearboxes - six-speed manual, tiptronic and DSG robotic transmission. The mechanics are installed in conjunction with any of the engines, but the most problems with it arise in combination with the 1.8 TSI engine; most often, owners are bothered by an unpleasant squeak; when trying to move forward or backward on cars with a mileage of more than 50,000 km, this problem will have to be eliminated replace the clutch. In a transmission paired with a two-liter diesel engine, the two-mass flywheel fails after a mileage of 150,000 km. Also, owners of cars with a 1.2 engine are faced with the problem of difficulty shifting gears. A seven-speed DSG with a dry clutch, as a rule, operates with an unpleasant grinding noise, jerking and vibration in second gear, and with a mileage of 30-40 thousand km, expensive repairs may be required. With a six-speed DSG with wet clutch, clutch and mechatronics failures are much less common.

Skoda Yeti suspension.

The Skoda Yeti's suspension is quite durable, even on our roads it rarely bothers its owners. The Achilles heel of the chassis, as on most modern cars, turned out to be the stabilizer struts and, depending on operating conditions, serve an average of 20 - 40 thousand kilometers; in cold weather, the rubber suspension elements can creak a little. All-wheel drive is implemented using a clutch " Haldex 4th generation", there are no complaints about this system, since it has been tested on many previous generations of the concern " VAG"and has proven itself only on the positive side. Despite the fact that today cars with mileage of 100-150 thousand are sold on the secondary market, there is not much to say about the suspension; owners only change consumables.

• The rear silent blocks of the levers and stabilizer bushings last 80-100 thousand km.
• The service life of ball joints is 200,000 km.
• Steering rods and ends are maintained for 150-200 thousand km.
• The front brake pads last 30-40 thousand km, the rear ones about 80,000 km.
• There are enough brake discs for two or three sets of pads.
• In the rear suspension, after a mileage of 90,000 km, the camber arms become unusable.
• Rear shock absorber bumpers last an average of 100,000 km.
• The struts and bushings of the rear stabilizer serve 90 - 110 thousand km.
• Rear suspension silent blocks have a service life of more than 200,000 km.

Salon.

The interior of the Skoda Yeti is made of high-quality materials and does not bother you with extraneous noise; on some models, the creaking of door seals can be annoying ( can be treated by lubrication with silicone grease), and rattling inside the instrument panel. Also, over time, play appears in the driver's seat. Electrical equipment, as a rule, works without problems, and no characteristic problems were identified during operation.

Result:

The Skoda Yeti will really appeal to active, practical and family car enthusiasts who like to go out into the countryside on weekends for a picnic or fishing, as its functionality and versatility are among the best in its class. As for a crossover, the Yeti has good off-road qualities, but they should not be overestimated, since the car is not intended for off-road conquest.

The advantages include:

• Good build quality.
• Affordable market value.
• Reliable suspension.
• Acceptable cross-country ability.
• Durability of many components and assemblies.

Flaws:

• Seven-speed DSG transmission.
• 1.2 liter TSI engine.

If you are or were the owner of this car brand, please share your experience, indicating the strengths and weaknesses of the car. Perhaps your review will help others choose the right one .

Skoda Yeti is the first such creation of the Skoda company. It was introduced in 2009, and its sales began in the same year. The Skoda Yeti is built on the same platform as the Volkswagen Tiguan, from which it borrowed engines.

Engines

The cute Yeti with a 1.2 TSI engine turned out to be far from sweet for its owners. “Diesel running” after start-up, unstable operation, loss of traction, stalling engine - such was the rebellious nature of the little heart of the “snow man”.

The diesel rumble from a gasoline engine after starting a cold engine was caused by the “fading” of the tensioner and stretching of the timing chain. As a rule, the problem appeared after 20 - 50 thousand kilometers. Dealers replaced the chain along with the tensioner. The cost of working with spare parts is 12,000 rubles. According to the manufacturer, the problem has now been resolved, and the problematic units have been modernized.

Another headache for owners of a Skoda Yeti with a 1.2 TSI engine is a drop in power when the car starts moving, accompanied by an audible malfunction signal, the “Check Engine” light and the EPC display. In this case, the revolutions do not increase above 1500. After restarting the engine, everything suddenly stopped, and the engine worked again as if nothing had happened. The misfortune struck when the mileage was more than 20 - 50 thousand km, and the reason lay in the turbocharger. Initially, official car services replaced the turbine, the cost of which was about 45-60 thousand rubles. Later, the manufacturer found a way to deal with the malfunction by more accessible means - by installing an additional spacer washer in the turbocharger and reprogramming the engine ECU. On new cars produced since the end of 2011, and on Yetis with modified turbines, the problem no longer occurs.

Often, the Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI, with a mileage of more than 20,000 km, begins to mope - the engine idles unstably, stalls and does not warm up well in winter. Services eliminate the problem by changing the ECU firmware. Slow heating has unpleasant consequences in winter - the interior takes a very long time to warm up or remains cold. Since November 2011, crossovers began to be equipped with an additional RTS heater, which provides faster heating of the interior.

It is also worth mentioning rattling, knocking from under the bottom and vibrations that appear at idle. They are caused by fuel pipes and the operation of the fuel filter. Dealers seal the fuel pipe shaft and replace the “noisy” filter.

But that's not all. With high mileage, piston burnout and liner rotation began to occur occasionally. The problem is aggravated by the fact that the engine design does not provide for the removal of the crankshaft - the block drives it. The motor assembly is replaced with a new one or a contract one.

The 1.8 TSI engine is also not without its drawbacks. For example, problems appeared with the timing chain tensioner, and the chain was stretched. The chain and tensioner were periodically improved, but the problem recurred, although less frequently. The cost of replacing a timing belt kit with spare parts within the walls of a dealership will cost 40-50 thousand rubles, and in a third-party service it will cost 25,000 rubles.

VAG's 1.8 is reputed to be an oil glutton, for which oil consumption of 1-1.5 liters per 15,000 km is the norm. Volkswagen carried out several modifications to the piston group to reduce oil consumption. The first two attempts were unsuccessful. At the end of 2011, another modernization was carried out - this time effective.

Troubles with the timing chain drive are also common in the 1.4 TSI (122 hp), but on a smaller scale. In addition, the phase regulator also has to be changed. Some drove 150-200 thousand km without any problems, while others closer to 100,000 km encountered chain jumping and valves meeting pistons.

Transmission

A manual transmission can be paired with any of the engines. But the most problems with it arise when combined with the 1.8 TSI. More often it is an unpleasant squeal when trying to move forward or backward. After replacing the clutch disc and basket, the problem disappears. According to dealers, the manufacturer supplies modernized units with defects eliminated. Problems with difficult gear shifting occur less frequently. Sometimes Yeti owners with a 1.2 TSI engine complain about this.

The DSG 7 preselective gearbox with a dry clutch can upset you after 30 - 40 thousand km with the appearance of shocks or even impacts with a grinding noise when switching. Vibrations may occur when driving in 2nd gear. It was possible to get rid of the unpleasant behavior of the box after replacing the clutch (40-50 thousand rubles per set) and reflashing the control unit. The manufacturer stated that it is installing a reinforced clutch disc.

And here’s what VAG says about extraneous noise in the DSG gearbox and not always correct operation: “This gearbox contains a large number of closely spaced parts. Under some conditions, vibrations of unloaded gears and gearbox parts may occur. Structurally, the amount of oil in this gearbox is relatively small, which contributes to a more intense transmission of sounds from the box to the outside. The noise that appears only affects acoustic comfort, but does not in any way affect the performance of the box and its service life, and therefore is not regarded as a defect in the unit.” Weak argument. It is unlikely that it will help convince Skoda Yeti owners that “grinding” is normal.

After 100-200 thousand km, problems began to occur with mechatronics (80,000 rubles) and the DSG7 valve body.Fortunately, with DSG 6 (with wet clutches), installed in conjunction with the 1.8 TSI, such problems do not arise.

Chassis

The suspension has not yet thrown up any surprises and is persistently struggling with the Russian asphalt surface. Except that the stabilizer struts often begin to knock after 20,000 km. And with the arrival of frost, no, no, and the suspension will creak a couple of times with its rubber bands.

However, the rear wheel bearings may begin to hum after 60-100 thousand km. One of the associated reasons is a jammed parking brake cable (800 rubles). As a result, the wheel overheats, which affects the properties of the plastic bearing cage. The cost of the original hub is over 7,000 rubles, the analogue is over 2,000 rubles.

Front brake pads last more than 30 - 40 thousand km. A set of new original ones will cost 2.5 – 3 thousand rubles. Non-original ones are cheaper - 1-1.6 thousand rubles. The rear brake pads last more than 80 thousand km.

Body and interior

The body hardware and the quality of the paintwork do not stand out from the total mass of cars from any other automakers. After 2-3 years of operation, the emblems on the hood and tailgate begin to peel off. Soon the chrome on the front trim darkens. On several three-year-old examples, paint blisters were noticed in the area of ​​the rear arches and rear doors.

The standard jack has poor stability. Many owners were convinced of this after “moving” the car off the jack. The rear plastic roof rail cap is often lost or stolen. A new one will cost 800 – 1800 rubles.

The interior of the Skoda Yeti hardly bothers you with squeaks. Only occasionally does the front panel begin to creak, or the instrument wells rattle. For many people, their door seals begin to creak. Treating rubber bands with silicone compounds often helps get rid of extraneous sounds. Over time, play in the back of the driver's seat appears. At the same time, the back may also creak.

The floor covering of the front passenger and driver is slightly dented, which spoils the overall impression of the car. Due to the “freezing of the anti-freeze”, the washer fluid supply line to the rear window often leaks. At the same time, a characteristic odor appears in the cabin, and washer fluid appears in the feet of the front passenger.

Massive “winter whistles” from VAG interior heaters have not yet been noted, but the problem appears from time to time. But abnormal cooling of the interior when the temperature regulator is positioned in the “hot sector” is a common occurrence on cars with a stripped-down version of the air conditioner. It is easy to bring the system out of its stupor. It is enough to turn the regulator a little and the supply of warm air is restored. The problem can be solved by flashing the unit, or, in extreme cases, by replacing it.

The electrics are almost flawless. Fuel gauge glitches are common. For example, the needle drops to zero. The readings are restored after turning the ignition off and on again. The reason is software errors. Incorrect fuel level readings may occur due to problems with the fuel sensor itself.

The standard 2-din Bolero radio sometimes turns off one of the speakers at low volumes. If you add a little more sound, the speaker turns on again. There is also a disappearance of the image on the radio display, which appears again after turning the ignition off and on again. The reason for this phenomenon is a failure of the display hardware. The car radio will have to be replaced.

Conclusion

On the positive side, we can note the rather strong suspension and reliability of the 1.8 TSI engines. The further “behavior” of the 1.2 TSI engines and DSG 7 gearbox will have to be observed.

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 have 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 reach 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.

An extensive range of engines ranging from 1.2 to 2.0 liters is available for the Skoda Yeti crossover. Among them are atmospheric and turbocharged units, the strengths and weaknesses of which are well known to mechanics. All engines have sufficient power for measured driving around the city and light off-road. But the level of reliability, service life, cost of maintenance and operation differ.

The Skoda Yeti 1.2 TSI engine produces 105 hp. With. Consumes 7.6–7.8 liters of gasoline per 100 km in the city (depending on the type of box installed). The design feature is that the engine is compressor and at the same time turbocharged. This is done in order to avoid the notorious turbo lag. With proper maintenance and careful operation, the 1.2 TSI engine can last 300 thousand km. But timely replacement of oil, filters, spark plugs, and timing chain is important here.

If you neglect maintenance or do not keep track of oil leaks, the turbine will be the first to fail, the repair of which will cost a pretty penny (due to its short service life, the design of the turbine was revised, the ECU was also modernized and the support washers were replaced).

The larger 1.4 and 1.8 TSI versions of the Skoda Yeti also require proper maintenance, which will delay repairs. With significant mileage, the 1.8 TSI engine begins to “eat” oil - from 2 liters per 10 thousand km. The manufacturer is aware of this problem, so it has repeatedly upgraded the piston group.

Note: it is advisable to avoid short trips in the winter or pre-warm the engine. Monitor the condition of the timing chain tensioner. This is the weak link in the Skoda Yeti with a 1.2 TSI engine.

To extend the life of the turbine, Skoda Yeti engines of the TSI series are treated. RVS-Master particles, together with oil, enter the turbocharger, where they form a cermet layer on worn surfaces. This restores friction pairs. Thanks to the in-place repair of a Skoda Yeti with a turbocharged engine, it is possible to:

• Reduce fuel and oil consumption.
• Normalize compression.
• Simplify start-up in winter.
• Reduce the amount of noise and vibration.

The diesel modification of the Skoda Yeti deserves special attention, its power varies from 110 to 179 horsepower. It pleases with moderate consumption - about 7 liters per 100 km in the combined cycle. The TDI engine has a good service life and can easily travel 300–400 thousand km without any intervention. But it is sensitive to low-quality fuel. To extend the life of the internal combustion engine and the fuel system, it makes sense to use not only a fuel combustion catalyst. This will increase the cetane index of diesel fuel by 3–5 units, minimizing engine wear when refueling with low-grade diesel fuel.

Should you be afraid of the Skoda Yeti DSG gearbox?

The mechanical transmission on the Yeti is reliable; often the clutch disc is the first to fail, but the remaining components are more durable. But the DSG Skoda Yeti is much more interesting. Two robotic transmissions are available for 7 and 6 gears. A 7-gear box with dry clutches is considered less resourceful. It often makes noise and jerks, and major repairs can cost up to $2,000.

​

Therefore, you need to strictly adhere to the maintenance regulations, and use it as a preventive measure. This compensates for wear and minimizes acoustic discomfort.
