  1. thanks for suggestion will see how it goes today,(just had a quick drive seems fine ) i checked the fuel (tastes like diesel ) as i had filled up yesterday but had been on a run of about 40/50 miles with no trouble, the fault occured going up a steep hill and continued for half a mile or so on the flat, must say i did not check engine management light at the time thanks again will post with any further trouble
  2. hi only had new yeti 170bhp about two weeks when had strange seeming power loss effect almost like hand brake was on,would struggle to get up to 20 mph (i felt discs when got home but not even warm) after about 2 miles it suddenly seemed to improve but still feels wrong , hope it is ok will see in the morning
  3. Thanks all will try suggestions not sure how to check for codes though
  4. drivers seat wont adjust at all is stuck i looked underneath but no obvious probs ie plugs disconnected etc also checked fuses any suggestions welcome, also can the seat be lifted in any way for better access to wiring ?
  5. My skoda superb had intermittent battery discharge, caused by water ingress in passenger side well, water gets into door lock control module, this had been happening ove a few months on and off until a local repair guy found the prob , however on trying to reset the the radio/cd unit it decided to lock out and wont allow any buttons etc to work i had previously re set the unit without any trouble and only put in two digits when it locked. does this mean a trip to the dealers or is there a diy solution thanks john
  6. hi car is about 5 years old so when battery went flat in cold weather i replaced it , it only lasted about one week , i called out auto electrician who said it was charging ok and no leakage to earth showing he said the new battery may not be a good enough quality so i bought a better quality one , which seemed ok but failed again after about ten days, i also noticed that the locking system keeps clicking whilst driving and wondered if there is a link to the problem the car has only done 44,000 miles , i normally change the car after about three yrs and am tempted to do so as i fear it could be a hard fault to find, any help appreciated
  7. thanks for your prompt replies guys , and gal
  8. car still under warranty, we bought aprox 9 moths old,now has 21000 miles, recently took in for noise, apparently the flywheel faulty, covered by warranty , but they said the clutch was worn and showed signs of overheatingand want £200 (cost of clutch ) to do it at same time, should we have to pay this as damage to clutch could have been by previous owner
  9. bought elegance 140 bhp demonstrator , particle filter warning came on after a few days ............took in sorted ............three weeks later same again , asked to change it ............no prob. tried same model .one week later same trouble..... apparently if you only do short journeys you are likley to get this problem ..the garage we bought it from have been very good but its looking like we are going for the refund option..........sad as we really like it :(
  10. thanks for reply lummox , we have changed it for a similar model , should be ok
  11. purchased demo model ( 6 mnths old ) after 3 days it went into basic mode , instructed us to take it to workshop, they cleared the fault said bring it back in three weeks or so for test re % build up in particle filter , on the fri evening just b4 going away for bank holiday the fault reoccured, we took it in sat and were lent a similar vehicle , we are hoping to change it for another as we have lost confidence in it . just wondered if anyone else had same trouble or if anyone knows what is the cause ,
