Our mechanic just got back to us. Not a cheap fault. The car is ****ed. Balance shaft bearing support unit. Known fault. Legal battle begins but thanks for your input.

Same sort of noise from start. Husband informs me that if you open bonnet the noise is horrific. No loss of performance. Thinking of just scrapping it as we can’t throw good money after bad. Will NEVER buy a car with a VW engine again!

Hi Kenny, it’s a 2L diesel. Yes they’ve all be changed. JR it makes noise under all conditions but particularly when accelerating. Can’t post vid as car is in garage. Rather inconvenient as we live in the back of beyond with no public transport.

We told them as 3 mechanics had already said what it was. This garage said if they’d heard it they would have said it was the flywheel etc. Apart from”’oo said what to oo” any ideas on the noise front?

Hi there, we bought a 2nd hand 4 year old Skoda Yeti 18 months ago. About 3 weeks ago there started a banging/ticking noise from the engine. VW garage (Skoda had disappeared) said we needed a new flywheel clutch and timing belt. £2000 please! We are not wealthy people. Took it to two local garages who quoted far less. so, work completed. Same noise as before HELP. This effing car will bankrupt us. Any ideas?
