Can confirm that "Web chat to Skoda UK" works... took a few minutes.

Well, dropped it off at the dealer last night ready for them to have a look at it this morning... and by 09:30 today they'd called me: it needs a new boot latch. On order for overnight delivery, for fitting the next day. Update: Fitted and sorted by late morning... and they washed the car too! Thanks to Billy and the team in Warrington!

Well,... tried a couple of slams (as hard as I dare!) but not changed. Spoke to dealer today and dropping off with them on Monday for them to take a look.

Thanks folks. I was thinking some sort of "is the door shut?" switch fault. Will be giving dealer a ring tomorrow...

I'm having a problem with my recent new Yeti... Had the car new at start of September. Model year is 13 and it's Elegance spec. When I get into the driver's seat, in Maxidot, the car outline diagram shows the tailgate window as white, an indication that it thinks the tailgate is open. The tailgate isn't open - the tailgate is fully latched and stays shut; it's flush with the car body and is not ajar. Locking the car with the remote key, it all locks and goes to sleep - it's not prevented by any open door (I would expect it to refuse to lock if a door was genuinely open). Double-unlocking with the remote key (single to open driver door and then again to open the rest of the doors) will allow me to open the tailgate with the pressure-switch in the tailgate’s handle. Using just the "open tailgate" button on the remote key is not currently working - nothing happens, and I can't open the tailgate. (It has worked previously) When I'm in the car and start up to drive off, the Maxidot remains showing that the tailgate is open (when it's closed) and all the interior lights stay on for the entire journey... as if I'm driving along with the door open! What does anybody think may be wrong, please?
