OK, so it has stopped doing it today, so will assume that it is "normal" !! Cheers

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes it's 2.0 TDI They run on for a a god 5 mins or so, Just been out an started the car with a cold engine and the fan on the passenger side of the radiator starts straight away. Is that normal? Cheers

Hi, I have a '2025 Kodiaq purchased March this year. Car first registered last May and was a Skoda vehicle and had covered approx 5000 miles when I bought it. It's been fine all this time except yesterday when I turned the engine off one or more fans continued to run - and they sounded like they were running at top speed. It was only a 15 min journey and the weather wasn't that hot. It did the same again travelling back home. Did wonder if maybe doing a regen, so running hotter, but have been out today and stopped at a shop after a few minutes and the fans were running again - checked the coolant and oil temps on the dash and neither had time enough to even register, so surely no need for any fans to be on. Both coolant and oil levels are fine and the car has covered less than 8000 miles. Anyone else had this happen? Cheers Geoff

Hi, Yesterday I posted that I had a set of brake discs and pads for sale for a yeti. Today my post has disappeared. Am I not allowed to sell stuff on here - I've had no messages from admin or anyone else regarding my post. Cheers Geoff

Thanks for the replies guys. The garage is an independent that I've been using for the past 20+ years, so I know the owner well. He's basically said that it's not sensible cost wise to fit a brand new unit and has suggested that the cheapest option would be for me to track down a second hand unit that they will fit (he has also mentioned that he uses a gearbox / diff specialist that maybe able to refurb, but would need to open it up first to see the damage) @J.R.I've been trying to find out what the suffix numbers mean, but have drawn a blank - if you could give some pointers as to where to look that would be appreciated. As you say, I'm sure that Skoda (& Audi & VW) would want to use the same part as much as possible. Will have another chat to the garage tomorrow (see if he can get me the part number of the unit on the vehicle and if he could explain what the suffixes mean). Cheers Geoff

Hi, thanks for the replies (only just had the chance to catch up...) Re having it reconditioned - it had been whining for about a year before failing - and it when it did fail it was with a terrible grinding noise and it felt like it was seizing up when taking it off the trailer at the garage - so doubt that there's much left to recondition (but thanks for the tip). @J.R.how sure are you that the diffs have the same ratio and that it's the Haldex that makes the difference to the part No. (i.e. with a different suffix)? The Yeti is currently with a German car specialist (BMW, Merc, VW & Audi - so also Skoda) and they have told me it needs a diff from the same spec vehicle and that one from a DSG model wouldn't fit - happy to go back and discuss the option of them swapping the haldex from our car to a diff from a DSG yeti if that is a possibility. @Crasherif you could let me know what other VAG models had the same diff - or if @J.R.is correct with respect to the part No. / Haldex, that would really be appreciated. Thanks all - will keep you all updated. P.S. in my earlier mail I stated that I had "only seen second hand 010E & 010G " - what I meant to type was "010E & 010B" - have yet to find a 010G diff anywhere (though I do have a couple of quotes for second hand diffs (not confirmed if part No. 010G) from www.partsgateway.co.uk for over £1K !!) Cheers Geoff

thanks for that - looks like I need to keep on looking, so far have only seen second hand 010E & 010G for sale. Cheers Geoff

Cheers Toot - definitely the rear diff I'm afraid. There's a few on ebay - but some of the listings / part numbers seem a bit confusing, so not sure what part number I need. Car is at the garage - so may have to get on to them to have a look for me . Any help gratefully received @J.R.if you are abld to assist. Cheers Geoff

Hi All, Rear diff has just failed on our Yeti (it had been making a noise for quite some time, so not unexpected). I'm trying to find a second hand replacement, but not sure how 'universal' the rear diff is... Yeti is a 2013/13, 6 speed manual, 2.0 TDI CR(170bhp) Does anyone know if I need a diff off of the exact same model or is the diff on a DSG version or one of the other 2.0 TDI variants the same? Cheers Geoff

I've used MTEC for discs and pads on the Yeti (and on the Jag XF) without any problems - would highly recommend
