yeti99

I have a brand new headlight for the Skoda yeti. It is the mark 1 version of the yeti. Passenger side. I bought it for my headlight where one bracket had broken, but it has been welded secure so I no longer need it. It has been sat in my office since autumn 2024. Price includes postage in the UK I am in York if anyone was coming here for a day out. £140

The code on the computer was wiped tonight. So no light is on at the moment. The code was saying throttle body. So it was cleaned and I think it just needed the code erasing. Fingers crossed all ok.

What did we clean out at the front of the engine? It’s next to the air intake tube. I think it is the throttle body. where is the egr ? Can this get blocked up as well?

I have a yellow / orange light on which is the exhaust system I think. It always comes on and we run the car for much of the year like this. But when the MOT comes around we need to sort out the issue. Normally it is the throttle body which has a lot of tar build up. So I had it cleaned this week and everything has been fine for a few days, but the light came on today. I am taking the car to see the mechanic tomorrow evening and he will do a diagnostic on it plus will cancel the old data on the computer. Im worried though that it will be a bigger problem. Does anyone know if this is a computer code issue which needs clearing or something else entirely. I can't believe it is the throttle body getting gunked up again as I saw for myself how clean it became. The car is 2L diesel 2 wheel drive, 2013 adventure with 127k miles.

It’s a rear wheel bearing. We checked all wheels and this one was making a noise as you turned it. getting it changed in 10 days

Thanks all for the info. Hoping to sort next week

Ok I will point it out when the mechanic comes to have a look. He’s a mobile one

I don’t understand what you are posting. Are you saying the back brakes are an issue? do these have stone shields? What are stone shields? Sorry I am not good with mechanics.

The back brakes pads and discs were also done on the service. engine is 2L diesel. service was oil and the filters. Don’t think it was tested above 40mph

2WD the noise comes from an area I cannot pinpoint. All around I think. i do think it is rotational connected. I would need to get a garage to lift it up and see if the noise persists.

My yeti has done 125k. it’s been making a whining/ humming sound when you go over 40mph. Recently been to Austria in it and it was making the noise on that trip. We don’t have any faults with it and it was serviced before we went to Austria. the noise was there before the trip as well. I’ve just become more aware of it now so it is bugging me. any ideas what the issue might be? I’m thinking something with the transmission. i don’t think it could be a tyre issue. These were new last autumn I think.

Wow, that's good. What the hell are Skoda doing charging £1800 ? Some fools must be paying it.

2L diesel 2013

I spoke to Skoda Leeds today about getting a price for my timing belt. It is £1800 currently to do it. Good news is that the mileage at which you change the timing belt has been raised to 140k miles. Previously it was at 70k miles and then every 50k or 5 years. This is what I've read on here and elsewhere. So I was all set to get mine done locally, but thought I would check what the cost would be at the main dealer. Told the price plus also told the new info. Our car has done 120k, so we have two more years to go. However, if I had mine done at 70k miles, does that mean I now don't need to do it for another 140k from the 70k mark ? Anyone else heard about this recent change in timing belt alterations ?
