Fired up the yeti today and had a warning light on the dash indicating a low coolant levels. Checked it and the bottle was nearly empty. Wife reminded me that this happened just 2 months ago too and had RACQ top it up for her. Had some coolant in the garage so I topped it up and had a look on the floor and noticed a small pool of coolant fluid. Looks like the yeti has it's first issue but will get it checked into skoda sometime next week and will update on the progress. Seems to be a mild leak as it's taken 2 months to show from the last fill.

2012 mate. Skoda Brisbane booked for wednesday. I'll let u guys know how it goes. There must be a leak somewhere but it's gonna be like finding a needle in a hay stack I reckon.

Sorry to hear about the leak. If its been happening over a few months hopefully there'll be a telltale trail on the block.

Was just told there were no signs of external damage so they'd change it since it was covered by warranty. Will ask about the specific details when I pick up the car tomorrow :)

New radiator installed. Was told there was a crack/leak on some part in the front but was in a rush to get to work so didn't get any further details. Happy with Skoda Brisbane's service and warranty service. I think I'll have to look into extended warranty just for peace of mind :cool:

hey guys, haven't been here for a while.
Just read this post, the same happen to me about 6weeks ago.
Trivett Skoda replaced mine under warranty.
Apparently its where the plastic meets the aluminium core.
It was a pain in the arse, one morning the warning light went on and the coolant reserviour was close to empty.
