Hi all

My venerable(now at 245kms) but trusty 2012 Skoda Yeti 118TSI has developed a rattle and runs roughly in the engine at Idle when it is hot and sometimes wont fire up immediatley at...

So I have my car back and it is running fine... James Frizelle Motors in Lismore ended up being helpful with labour costs and did a free major service (new plugs oil etc) and a compression check...

Took your advice Lucas and asked SA to pay labour costs and SA customer liasion officer refused. They will only pay for parts and not even consider hire car costs. Am going to write to them now and...

The saga continues.... Skoda Australia now offering to pay for 100 percent of parts cost($600) but not labour. While this is better it amounts to about 30 percent of the actual repair cost as...

The service history is as per the book Snail Style ... alittle earlier then every 15000

Todays Update.... Spoke to Skoda Australia this morning and they are currently reconsidering goodwill...

Yes I have heard this from a few people now and there are no 118tsi yetis for sale on carsales.com (only the 112kw TSI with the slightly dodgy vw dsg Auto box.. Was thinking of getting a remap by...

Thanks for reply and good info Lucas... they are doing a plugs/oilfilter etc tuneup service as well (usually around 300) so maybe the quote is for the service and the replacement solenoid. After...

My 2012 Yeti 1.8TSI Manual has been fantastic.... Its done 130000kms and I have had no issues except for a couple of wiper blade replacements. Until last Friday that is, when the engine warning...

Thanks for setting up vw watercooled. Hopefully the info here will help me keep my Skoda yeti 1.8tsi manual ... so far the best car I have ever owned happy for another 100000ks or so!
