This may be my first and last post on the forum. I have had a 1.2TSI SE for a year with no problems. Have just returned from a two week holiday in France and was going to be writing a glowing report about what a wonderful car it was but then remembered that my EPC light come on transiently in La Rochelle. Back to Edinburgh with no further problems and good consumption (~42mpg)over the 2,500 miles. However two days ago the EPC light came on again, remained on and car entered the dreaded "limp home mode" just outside the main dealership in Edinburgh!. Dumped car and keys and next day heard that a new turbo required. I've done 16K miles over the last year so this seems to be a similar mileage to other "turbo" victims. Turbos said to be on back order so dealership contacted Skoda UK and a new Vauxhall Insignia (hired car)supplied this afternoon. The service from the dealer (Chathams)has been excellent so far. Yeti expected back at end of week but can the new turbo now be trusted? Does anyone know more about the electronic turbo problem and if new replacement parts have been been modified to improve longevity?
