Hello nsayer, another Yeti........welcome to the forum! greetings, Lico

Thanks for the advice! I will keep this in mind.

One coffee and a pain de chocolat later ,provided by the dealer, the job is done. On my way back to our holiday home I noticed the huge difference. The Yeti is her old self again. Total cost for this job €70,- including VAT Dealer reception was very nice and helped imidiately. https://concessionnaires.skoda.fr/var-83/sa-smva-132 Thank you all for the suggestions. I really appreciate it! Regards, Lico

At the Skoda dealer right now. the verdict of the mechanic is that the brake fluid has to be changed! He tested it. it takes about one hour for the change and bleeding and a test ride. Let’s hope he is right.

Thank you all for the suggestions. I am going to the Skoda dealer in Frejus this afternoon to get the brakes checked. I will point out all the suggestions you made and see what the outcome of the problem is. lets hope for the best! Keep you posted!

I don’t think that the handbrake was on all the time during the ride on the peage. I didn’t feel any drag and there was no warning light on the dashboard?! Or could it? I’ve tried the trick with the handbrake and brake pedal. the pedal became really firm after I released the handbrake. However the car wouldn’t start anymore. It asked me to step on the brake pedal before starting the engine (dsg). After 3 attempts it started. Then the pedal wasn’t firm anymore. So what does this mean? Should the self adjust system be repaired, can it be repaired?

Hello All, there is something weird going on with the brakes of my Yeti. Let me tell you the story......... Last Friday I was driving from Holland to the south of France (region Frejus) on the peage (900km / 130 kmh) and we stopped at Lyon for the night. Coming of the peage I noticed that the brake pedal was not as hard as I was used to. I have to push it in a long way . Saturday we continued our trip and unfortunately the problem was still there. I understand maintenance of my car as I do a lot myself so I investigated the usual suspects. Brakepads all around look fine such as the brake discs. there is enough brake fluid in the resevoir and there are no leaks noticeable. What am I missing here? In the end I probably will have to go to a local Skoda dealer to get things sorted but I would like to know one forehand what could be the problem. P.s. I had new tyres fitted a week ago because the old ones were worn out. I don’t see a connection with the brake problem but who knows. Thanks in advance for your feedback! Regards, Lico
