I sure have and here are the pictures! What I'm trying to get a cross is that after I have everything cleaned out the Emissions Control System Warning Light comes back on 24 hours later. The exhaust continues to smell terrible, the intermittent smoke out of the exhaust returns and within 4 to 6 months I need everything cleaned again...It can't be normal that the soot and carbon is building up that quickly.

I very much appreciate the reply Schtum but cleaning everything up doesn't really address the problem at all... yes, I can and do get the soot and carbon cleaned out periodically, but the rate at which it is building up is way beyond what is normal. My garage will do the clean but 24 hours later the warning light is back on and the smelly and smoky exhaust continues I think that something is wrong with the EMS and the car is burning way too much fuel too quickly and creating much more soot etc than a correctly regulated engine would.

Okay the error codes are 5286 P0121100 (throttle sensor) To be clear my mechanic has (as recommended) cleaned the system more than once but the error code never goes away (24 hours maybe but no more)

did you mean to say the exhaust smells of carburant rather than petrol? Yes, JR I did. You do not know what the fault is without reading the fault codes, that is the first step, any competant garagiste should have a multi-marque fault code reader, even a basic generic OBDII reader will give all emissions relate codes. Okay, I understand now...okay I will return to my garage and get the codes...that said my garage has definitely seen the codes already and have not been able to fix the problem.

It will only fix any problems the fix is causing if you get the fix removed/rolled back as if you get it remapped it will be the map off your car that is changed, still containing the fix. There are places that can roll back the map to what was there and although a lot cheaper than remapping there are not many places that do it and certainly no Skoda dealerships. Thanks Urrell...yes I think finding a place that will roll back my map in France is going to be tough. Are you saying though that there's no way to correct these faults without a roll back? That seems depressing

Hey Ken, You have an EMS fault; you need to get the codes read, but at the Skoda stealer's price VCDS or OBD11 make economic ways of doing this! I agree I definitely have an EMS fault, how are these fixed and by who? Can you explain a bit more what you mean by "you need to get the codes read, but at the Skoda stealer's price VCDS or OBD11 make economic ways of doing this!" You may have a fueling or oil fault. What does the exhaust smell of? Petrol I would say This looks like a fueling or possibly EMS fault. And this like an oil or over-fueling fault, or possibly an oiled up catalyst and/or lambda probe. Supplemental. Do you have heavy oil consumption? No I don't have heavy oil consumption

Hi all, Thank you for your time, I'll try and keep this short. My car: Skoda Yeti 2.0l 2010 Diesel French car (I live in France) For quite some time now, I have had the following problems with my car 1. The Emissions Control System Warning Light always on 2. Very strong smell from exhaust 3 Fast petrol consumption 4. Intermittent black/grey smoke coming out the exhaust I suspect this is linked to the VW software emissions fix I had some years back but it's too late for me to force Skoda to do anything about it. It could possibly just be an age thing. My local garage tells me that this is a computer/re-tuning issue but they don't/won't touch that side of things. My local Skoda/VW garage has no interest in this kind of work and deter customers by charging €175 just to look at the car. There is a re-tuning/remapping garage an hour away from me, but I know nothing about these services and whether they can fix this problem. Can anyone here identify the cause of these problems and offer any advice on the best way to fix them? Thanks in advance

Thank you for all the great replies! I just took a closer look at the notes from my most recent MOT and although he car passed there was a note about wear to the silent block and the need for a wheel balance...so that could well be it...the car is booked in to have this check out.

Yes, oil is good...actually the coolant looks a little low but it's there. tell me more about these rubbers? Do you mean here?

Hi all, I've got a pretty old Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI ...2010, 150,000 miles Runs pretty well although the emissions fix is an ongoing problem. I've recently noticed, especially on the motorway, that the engine noise is louder than it used to be, not especially different, just louder...is this par for the course with a car of its age and mileage? I'm taking the care in for a service soon and was wondering if there was anything extra I should ask them to check? Jamie
