Hi all. I was looking to purchase some seat covers for our Skoda Yeti. The car is fitted with the cloth seats and think it'd be easier maintained with decent covers. Can anyone recommend any for me? Thanks, Jim

Thanks. I used those guys a few years ago for a service and said then I wouldn't go back

I give up and will say no more

I wouldn't call a broken gear box mount a minor issue. Also, it's covered under warranty so they have to fix it. I'll probably delete this thread in a few days after everyone has had a chance to read.

They might not have heard it, but as I said above, I'm aware that engine and gearbox mounts are subject to check in some other dealer's checks on used cars. It'll be interesting to see if it's the case with Skoda. If it's not, I'll be be happy that they're fixing it, if it is and wasn't picked up, then I think we'll be handing the car back, fixed or not.

That's interesting about the multi point check. I'll be asking the dealer for a copy from car on Monday. I have a friend who works for a well known new and used car dealer here in NO. He noted that engine and gearbox mountings are part of the standard check that they must carry out on all used cars that come in and has even found some with issues that are resolved. J

Re calling Roadside Assist.... this seems to be the standard response to any query you ask any Skoda Service Dept.

Hi all. Just to update, the service department called to note it is a gear box mount that's broke and not the engine mount, if that makes much difference. Thanks J

Fair enough Ken, but with only 2900 miles on the car, was this a faulty component? It does seem to be a big issue in the early life of a car? Also, the fact that there was a knocking noise from the front left, this would indicate something was loose that shouldn't have been? So would this not have been easier to spot/pick up in a service/inspection? Thanks Jim

Ken, I have spoken to two independent mechanics this afternoon who have both stated this would and should have been picked up at the service/inspection and resolved then. Thanks, Jimi182

I don't think it's just 'one of those things' Ken. This car was serviced and should have had a multi point check, which should have picked it up. We only noticed the noise when going slowly over speed bumps, we went over a few at a slightly higher speed and the noise didn't occur. Imagine we hadn't of went over any bumps and never noticed the knocking...

As noted in my other post, Mrs 182 and me collected our April 2016 1.2 TSI DSG Yeti on Tuesday. The car had 2900 miles on it was in great condition. We agreed a price and it was due a first service, this carried out on Monday and we collected the car on Tuesday. We did about 100 miles on Tuesday and it felt good, but noticed a knocking sound coming from the front left when going slowly over some speed bumps. We noticed it again on Wednesday and yesterday booked the car in to be checked over by the dealer. I left it off this morning and got a call not long ago to tell me they discovered that an engine mount was broken, the part is on order, a courtesy car is being arranged and our car should be ready next week. Mrs and me are a bit disappointed, but I'm looking your thoughts on the whole thing. It has dented our confidence in the car and their service. It seems to me this issue has been going on a long time, and what's really bothering me is why wasn't this picked up in the service and the multi point check that was supposed to be carried out as it was a Skoda Approved Used car. Thanks, Jim

What kind of model is it?

Hi all. Could anyone recommend someone local (Belfast) to work some VCDS magic on my newly acquired Yeti? Thanks
