[Yeti 4x4 testing the system]

 

Hi

 

I recently had to have my Yeti 4x4 system fixed, the pump and filter was dead due to the fact they are not listed in the servicing schedule, main dealer servicing from new and no mention of the need of this servicing. 

 

but now fixed I put the car on jacks to test and I can see all 4 wheels spinning (good sign).

 

If I put my foot on 1 of the real wheels, it stops, no resistance. Is there no limiting of the slip on one side?

 

 

 

[Haldex Clutch Pump]

I've just scanned my 2010 Yeti with a view to changing the auto wiper behaviour and it flagged up a fault code on the Haldex.

 

It's not listed on the Ross Tech Wiki and a general Google (there is nothing relevant on this forum that I can find) shows that it may be just the Haldex Clutch Pump (V181) that is causing the fault code.

 

However, I can only find reference to the fault code (00448) on Gen1 Haldex units and I thought an April 2010 Yeti had Gen3 Haldex! Please correct me if I am wrong.

 

On some (Audi) threads it suggests that it might just be poor connection between the plug and the contacts (the fault is shown as intermittent) although some threads show corroded circuit boards from the internals of the Haldex controller.

 

Does anyone have any thoughts on this (full, relevant scan below) and can offer advice as it sounds like it might be rather expensive...

 

 

PS: The date on my Columbus is correct as is the date on my laptop. Why does this scan show a date in 2010?

 

hi

 

could you see the error code using a ODB2 reader?

 

cheers

[VAG 4x4 Haldex error codes and odb2 readers]

 

I recently found out my 4x4 Yeti has only been 2 wheel drive. The Haldex oil and filter had not been changed (even though main dealer serviced for the past 6 years).. that was clogged up and that had blow the pump. There was no warning lights on the dashboard.. it simple just was 2x2.. it took a gravel hill to find it out.

 

My question.. would Haldex fault codes come through to a ODB2 readers as a error code? Or would I have needed a VAG specific reader.

 

Many thanks

Martin

 

 

 

 

[4 Year old yeti and might need a new gearbox]

4x4, 2.0 TDI 170hp, 6 speed Manual, 33k

 

After a normal 33k service (without any knowing issues) the dealer said they found an oil leak in the gearbox, they suspect that there has been a major clutch failure and that it has damaged the gearbox housing. they are going to take out the starter motor and put in a camera. The dealer then showed my photos of someone else who had the same failure, if it looks the same they will look into fixing it.. under "goodwill" was mentions. I have seen other forum with the same looking damage.

 

As I am out of warranty I am going to need to ensure I show a patten of failures and that this is a manufacturing issue and so will be covered by Skoda.

 

I have done some digging around and seen a lot of people complain of DSG auto issues, a few dual mass flywheel issues.

 

If anyway has had issues around clutch or gearbox in the past if would be interesting to hear from you

 

thanks

Martin
