Dieselgate
Probably! But I did enter the agreement with my eyes open and would not have ventured a case against VW Group on my own... I will provide the legal explanation after I have received and laundered my ill-gotten windfall.

Dieselgate
I have heard from my lawyers with a pay out figure due within 8 weeks. One is not permitted to say how much is being paid; but the BBC tells us that VW group are paying out £193 million to 90,000 claimants. Deduct costs (at no more than 30%) and the calculation is done! To say I'm amazed is an understatement...

Glow plug warning light flashing
None of them as far as I can tell; but a flashing glow plug warning light might well do. Did on my 2011 170 diesel (however it is uprated and had done 90k miles).

Yes. It is probably necessary to clean your DPF. Can be done with a special product ~ cheap. Or cleaned out by a dealer ~ possibly expensive! Good luck whatever...

A flashing glow plug warning light is a sign of an engine management fault. Any dealer/VCDS user should be able to help. Good luck.

AC vents different temperture
If I press the recirc button when when recirc on on it changes recirc to automatic air distribution and then if I press it again it turns off. I thought all Yetis with Climatronic automatic air conditioning did this?

Resetting Service Interval Light. Yeti 1.2TSI
Both my Yetis are changed via the MFD between the dashboard dials. When stationary, select MFD, Settings, Service, Reset. Will take a few days and/or a bit of driving to revert to "fixed" time and distance. Good luck.

Boot lock freezing up??
There is a method of opening the rear door from inside the car should it prove necessary. Details will be in the manual. (I say that as I have had to try it out!)
