Hi, I have arrived here after purchasing a Skoda Yeti. We have wanted one for a year or two now, and have just purchased a 2011 Green Line. Unfortunately we have been let down by both the dealer and the car, so I am looking for a bit of support and will post issues directly into the Yeti section Thanks for reading.

Hi all, I have an intremitant but persistant problem with the tail gate on my Skoda which at times makes me regret buying the thing! At times the door sensor system thinks the tail gate is open. This can manifest itself as an activation of the alarm system when you leave the car locked, or multiple alarms and activiation of the interior lights when driving. This can happen every second you are driving or not at all for a fortnight. This has occured since we purchased the car secondhand from a Skoda main dealer 2.5 months ago. The salesman is of course not interested, and the service department haven't fixed it. I can't see any switches or sensors and it would look like the sensor or switch is located in the lock assembly. Anyone any thoughts or experiance of this issue, or do I have a one off?? Yours an disatisfied Skoda owner!!
