  1. UPDATE On further investigation, it is now concluded that the High pressure fuel pump failed becos of no fuel in the fuel line . Engine cranks for a longer time but does not start becos the ECU does not provide the relevant signal to the fuel pump. This condition happens after a long journey when a restart is applied to the engine from OFF position, When the engine is cranked , ECU must switch on the fuel suction delivery pump located inside the tank. CAUTION The engine should not be cranked until you see the ignition coil and engine management indicators on the cluster panel, If you do not see this indication on the cluster panel, it means the ECU has not supplied signal to the fuel suction delivery unit inside the tank. Wait until the indicators pop up on the cluster panel.
  2. Finally we have found the problem. Ironically it was not the Skoda dealer who found the problem but a local mechanic who does only SKODA / SEAT/ VW/ AUDI works. My injectors and fuel HPFP had to be replaced with a refurbished one. The glow plug indication has gone and the car has come to full power. Total cost USD 1230 ! ! The reason for this has been concluded that I used additive in the fuel tank where dirt gets mixed with fuel and water and throws out particles through the HPFP pump and injectors. I actually used XADO diesel fuel treatment and sometimes X1R diesel treatment . And the mechanic caught me spot on with his query !!
  3. i would not recommend playing with ESP as its related to a safety issue.
  4. Actually to understand the problem more in detail, I told the Authorized service center to isolate the problem if it is before the HPFP pump or after HPFP pump. For this we can do a simple test to check the fuel pressure ( approx. 3 bar) through the car diagnostic tool in ignition OFF condition and fuel pump switched ON and also to check the fuel flow rate after the HPFP pump at the high pressure output ( 660ml in 30 secs) . This is VAG standard procedure. These authorized centers still haven't done that simple test and simply deduced the fact that the pressure relief valve sensor at the common rail is at fault and waited for a month to get the spare part !Then they say the problem still remains ! So now I am thinking of collecting all the possible causes for such a glow plug MIL indication .
  5. Actually through VCDS, we are getting only the P008x code related to low fuel pressure. I dont know what the skoda authorized center has done. Its been with them for more than 1 month ! What all possible componwnts can we check for such a problem.
  6. yes , something like a limp mode. definitely not fuel starvation. Also the ride is extremely smooth except there is no boost power.
  7. it is with the authorized service center. They changed the fuel pressure regulator sensor but the case remains. The car starts well but after 3 to 4 km , it loses power and the glow plug lights up. However we can go all the way to our destination without any problems ! what else can we check ? the service techs in my town are not too familiar with the situation .
  8. i have a yellow MIL glow plug indication. The yeti loses its power after riding 2 km and goes with way less power. changed the fuel filter , pressure regulator relief valve on the common rail and still the indication. the ride when it loses power is extremely smooth so i cannot suspect EGR issues either. The CP4 HPFP seems to be good. No yellowish content on the pressure regulator sensor filter either. Model Yeti 2011 2.0 l , 140HP , 103KW , 4x4 AWD TDI engine
  9. Have you rectified your Oil burning problem or are you still looking out for a solution ?
  10. Mine is a SWING radio . I have used the standard AUX input for connecting the Bluetooth kit Zaap V4.0 . It works well with no distortion and HiFi stereo .
  11. That;s becos the 2.0L engine has a turbo charger and this gets activated at around 1600 RPM

    Belt change

    I have never heard of any mechanical component being replaced unless it has a wear and tear. Why would you replace something that is perfectly fine 'n running !!

    Belt change

    I don't inspect my belt at all as long as you don't hear any unusual noise. In theory these belts will last for the life of the car . But practically it may not come true becos the component pulley that run through them fail and consequently damage the belt. Ofcourse Skoda dealers will tell you to change becos it becomes there routine maintenance charge !! 60000 KM may be a number to inspect or replace but this by no way is accurate either.
  14. But the question still remains..i need the original hex dump written on the cluster panel eprom...

    Belt change

    You do not change the timing belt if you do not see any wear on the belt. However if you have changed the water pump or any other pulley mechanism running thro' the belt , then it is recommended to change the timing belt to avoid another labour charge for doing the same. Also ensure somebody experienced with Skoda repairs does the job . Not all mechanics can deal with a Skoda repair
