Hi Folks,
I'm the owner of a yeti 1.8tsi on a 60 plate, had it 3 years, bought from a non-Skoda dealer in Stockport.
It had a 12 month warranty and in the first year of ownership I probably drove 700 miles due to circumstances.
The 2nd year I was driving more and noticed that it needed oil every couple of hundred miles.
All advice I got was that this was normal in this engine.
This month it gave me a Engine Fault! Workshop! Warning as I was driving on the M6 around 3K rpm.
Engine became quite rough in it's running.
I plugged my Carista OBD dongle and cleared all the faults.
The re-occuring fault said Cyl 2 Misfire.
Checked the usual suspects of coil packs and spark plugs but the fault persisted.
Took it to a local independent VW garage. They said no compression on No.2 cylinder which was a timing issue they said.
They couldn't fix it and refereed me to a garage 7 miles away.
Instead I took it to a VW Specialist about 4 miles away.
They say no compression on 1 & 2 cylinders and they want £260 to strip the head off and check.
They also they'll get to it when they have a chance.
Sorry for the long winded post, but I'm thinking just replace the engine, with hopefully a reconditioned unit.
Where would I find a reputable 1.8TSI engine supplier?
