lol it actually drops to below freezing at night! and 26 degrees day time. its later on in year it hits the 40c. I remember first time I was there every car had big dents in the roof like it had been hit with a bat... Hail! Hail like tennis balls... No use being a car enthusiast there... I will have an old pickup instead. Friday is take off.... Be in touch to all. thanks for support people

thanks so much fellas.... I appreciate those comments! I will definitely update

Not sure how many of you will see this. Huge thanks to everyone who helped me build my pride and Joy. Marriage breakup sent me on a wee journey of self discovery and as a result the car was sold during the week and I am heading back to Africa for a bit. One of those times where you just have to get away you know. There are some members on here I will genuinely miss and members who are now friends.. Huge thanks to Colin for his time in the past. Best wishes to everyone.. Saturday morning this is where I will be in camp. And the best thing is..... there is not on Astra vxr here

To let you all know there is no progress with our Yeti. Dealer 1 is processing a full refund. This is just so unreal. Just speechless. Anyway folks, It's Finally over.

Update, Car was due to be fixed this week after we returned from hols to no car again, and after no phone calls for 3 days it was getting nervy. We expected car at latest today but it turns out the car has just sat for 3 weeks in the car park. This afternoon work got started and it is a 2 day 15 hour job to swap a turbo... I actually called the manager back and for the first time lost it on the phone. But he assures next week now and says the service has been shocking for us. Hope all are well!

Check gumtree up in highlands. Two gearboxes being broke off car. Short and long range. They may post or u could get courier Failing that punch it in 1st choice spares and sit back and wait an hour.

Sounds like dog bone to me . Your gearbox mount the probable culprit

Just to clarify, the Turbo is being replaced as the next step in the process of elimination... A phone call last night revealed hopefully work would be carried out next week but dealer 1 is nervous dealer 2 will come good on this.. Earlier events revealed dealer 1 was thinking of cutting losses with this car but as all work done so far and being done is warranty against the fix. Now Skoda UK aka VW are paying out no questions asked against the fix so really there is due credit there. However the incompetence of dealer 1 and 2 is the problem. So we will see what happens end of next week. Also we are dealing with a new person from dealer 1 where we bought car, and he is totally different to deal with... He is very nervous of me as he said dealer 2 told him of me and apparent knowledge of VW engines and that he had none about cars.. So a new turbo on the way?? Egr still lurks in my mind but fingers crossed... Will update next week when we hopefully get it back... One question...... Apart from sticky VNT system does anyone know how the fix knackers a turbo??? Im struggling to work it out... No smoke, No whine, no oil consumption, so perhaps stick vnt? But surely oil is needed in conjunction with an over worked EGR to cause this? Hope everyone is okay and living the dream

Okay, After near 3 weeks it's not fixed... It's lying in Skoda and they "think" changing the turbo is next step... So 6 visits with the 6th probably working out at 4-5 weeks in Dealer no 2. Its the the whole turbo system they want to change against the fix. I have expressed that renewing will still leave the software of the fix on the car so a mucho extended warranty is needed if we are to keep car. And then on way from holiday we hit a dinosaur on the A9....... Teeth and everything were flying.. I managed to pry it from the grille of car but it returned to life so I managed to wrestle the beast to the ground........ ( story not so boring about car now?)

Well if car is not fixed this time which after 4 months and so many visits and repairs already we dont have much faith it will be then it is refund.... We are going to have a fight I believe if it comes to it but with support from so many people I believe it would come good... Will defo update later

I wish I could!! Its still in dealer an we are no wiser as its hard to get them on phone. its 2-3 weeks in dealer this time so far.. on week 2 it hadnt been started yet. calling them tomorrow for update.................. and it is beyond explaining now, Will update tomorrow....

Agree with the above.... talk now of exchanging the car if its too expensive to fix. Car is back in again having work carried out. I have taken a step back from this now because it was actually causing problems in the family home... It involves two dealers which i will keep under wraps for now. But as I said the car situation and stress has caused problems all round. Last week was hellish. I got to a point where I shut down from the whole lot.. Will update again when i know more but as yet it is all still ongoing apart from dealer saying if it is too expensive then a replacement may be sourced . No refund spoken of though. Tbc

Letter was drafted out but withheld because of dealer has no record of us or fault with the car. And as we were refused paperwork we dont really have a leg to stand on. We are giving them car again monday as we both are just spent. we cant get refund or exchange as dealer manager said " you need to give us opportunity to fix it first, at the moment I have no record of a fault with the car" !!!! So next week will be final chance ( like we have a choice) After that to return car we have a long legal battle ( they made that clear ) and no car to use as they requure it back immediately.plus no funds to purchase another as funds are tied in yeti. Either way its not an option. However. It will be time to go very much public and reveal everything with every name we have dealt with. And get the full weight of everything possible including brisky and as many members as possible onboard. To conclude, letter drafted but absolutely no proof of visits to be repaired or 10 weeks of fault.. what can we do?? They are clever. Update next week.

They are telling us there are no records now.. Today car triggered limp again in a dangerous situation. main manager said no fault with car, let's call him andy. But today sales manager said andy had been discussing the fault with him yesterday.... So much lies it's unreal... Main manager said he would sort it's next fix date today , however today he is on a day off. Sales manager has booked it in for next Monday at Skoda. Dealership refused anything in writing . We wanted assurance if it did not get repaired again etc etc but dealer said nothing in writing is going to happen.. car in Monday, our family hol that week to. No assurance of decent courtesy car etc.. quick update over .....

Update. No return call meant i went down dealers yesterday afternoon... Seems rejection not an option as A, no proof of fault with car B, no record of our car going in to be fixed ....... Well, what can i say.....
