Thanks bro. Yeah took it in the local shop and they just advised a CV boot replacement, and like you said about 1hr labour to do. So about £80-100 or there abouts.. Is now in the shop getting done. Thanks for your advice. Hung

I was just abit concerned as its been like this for a month or 2 now. I assume you mean knocking noise when the wheel turns? For which I have not notice any such noise. Yeah likewise i've also seen the CV joint with boot kit for around £30 as well, in which case my thinking is that it may be best to just change cv joint and boot at the same time? I believe worst case the half axel is about £100 which i doubt i'll need. I assume that the labour involved would be effectively the same for cv boot replacement vs cv joint+boot replacement? Is that correct? How much can I expect labour to be for a local garage to do this? i.e. would 1hr cover it so possibly £100 in total including labour+cv joint+boot replacement

Hi, Just posting on advice for a Skoda Yeti 4x4 DSG Auto - Noticed some thick black grease on the front passenger alloy, initially cleaned it off and never thought much of it (thought we'd picked something up on the roads). After a month or so, noticed the same and eventually i traced it back to a leak on what appears to be the outer cv boot. Not noticed any symptoms as such, but concerned on how long its been leaking now. Any general advice and what the recommended fix is for this; and expected costs via a local independent? i.e. replacing the cv joint and cv boot, or the half cv axel etc.

Apologies, I missed this link when I posted earlier. But have seen this now....H7s basically. Thanks!

Yeah exactly, I couldn't figure it out from the diagram....there is no obvious location for the 2nd part 9. If the two part 9's are the same location i.e. get a standard H7 or a long life version of H7. Then perhaps there is only a single bi-xenon (D1S) that does both low and high. Like you say, will find out when i check out in the dark again. I assume you've don't have the same Yeti but Octavia version with Bi-Xenons? Thanks bro.

Yup will do that soon and report back! Yeah I was thinking the same, why can't they transfer the existing bulbs out? As I know for a fact that the bi-xenon bulb is working (i.e. dipped lights). Sorry for me being stupid, but doesn't a full unit replacement unit (part - 5L2941018C) come fully equipped with all the required bulbs? Obviously there are multiple bulbs in the unit (side light bulb, fog light, turn signal bulb, bi-xenon and halogen for the full beam). They've not been any quotes for these other bulbs but on the bi-xenon which already works? Looking at the diagram - Skoda Halogen Twin Headlights With<Br>Gas Discharge Bulb 5L2941018C - LLLParts I count x6 bulbs in total part 5 - Gas discharge lamp D1S-12V35W => This is the bi-xenon light used for both dip lights and high beam lights part 6 - blue, glass bulb 12V/W5W => Assume this is side light bulbs? part 7 - bulb carrier with bulb P13W => Assume these are the daytime running lights (situated on the round fog lamp section)? part 8 - bulb carrier with bulb for turn signal bulb P13W => turn signal light part 9 - halogen bulb Halogen fog lamp H7-12V-55W => fog lamp light part 9 - Halogen bulb long life H7-12V-55W => Is this the other light we are referring to that's used for high beam light only?

I'll have another look to see if i can get some view on the dipped and high beam on the driver side. Just to know what's going inside this driver side unit. I total understand where you coming from, and really appreciate your input. As mentioned in my post, i'm not a diy type of person, don't have a multi-meter nor the knowledge or confidence to poke around on the wiring; never mind the though of taking things apart etc. I could only see myself taking this to another non-dealer garage at best to get another opinion or quote on the fix? I know dealers will always take the approach of replacing the entire units/parts without wasting time to consider a possible repair to the underlying part/unit. The problem is, even if i do take this to another garage (non-dealer) would the result not likely be the same in terms of a requested replacement unit? As I'm not sure if another garage will even consider taking the approach of repairing or investigating a broken wire (if that what it showed).....

That's exactly what I did btw. It was during daylight so perhaps it wasn't the easiest way to tell, might need to do this when its darker? At the time all i could see when crouching down was a beam of light....couldnt say for sure dipped or high beam. However, when in the car and flipping between full beam and dipped....i could tell that the left was working and right was not.

So as mentioned in my initial post - for driver side - side lights work fine, the dipped lights work fine, but when you operate the full beam i'm only getting the dipped lights on. Does that answer you question? I think you've stated that the unit contains x2 bulbs - Halogen for full beam; and Bi-Xeons for both full beam and dip lights - correct? Based on my observations, I am under the impression that the Bi-Xenons (D1S ?) are working fine as i'm getting the light through when dipped lights are on. However, i can't be sure if there is an issue with the Halogen bulb (don't know if its possible to tell visually?) At first i didnt even know there was x2 bulbs. Or possibly the Halogen bulb is operating fine but its the mechanism within the unit thats not opening things (shutter?). Curious if the Bi-xenons are D1S. what is the equivalent bulb type codes for the Halogens in that unit?

To summaries....the unit has x2 types of bulbs (Halogen and Bi-Xenon i.e. D1S) ? The fact that my dipped lights work fine on both sides, mean that both Bi-Xenon's bulbs are OK? As my driver side full beam is not working, does that mean it could potentially just be the Halogen bulb on the driver side unit? I assume that dealer would have done a diagnostic check to confirm that its the unit and not the halogen bulb surely? But as Urrel mentions, not sure why they would have quoted a Bi-Xenon bulb (N10566102)?? Does anyone know if the unit is serviceable anyways? I assume if its totally sealed? As other independent would probably take the same approach if the unit is entirely sealed i.e. non serviceable.

I don't think the issue is around labour, as its only about 1hr work. I'm on the mind that some places just take the replace the entire unit approach, even when there might be a common fix by replacing only the specific part (if possible). Hence just wanted to explore this on the forum. When you mention pattern parts, assume you're talking about oem alternatives? Again, would be nice if someone had had experience on this issue and has done this exactly. Would welcome some feedback on costs etc. and what was involved. If I check out A for Audi....do i take the approach of telling them another dealership identified a fault on our full beam light (and they proposed full headlamp unit replacement). And simply ask them what it would cost them to fix? They might want me to bring the car in for further review (which i'll end up getting charged for a looking into it?)

Hi, We have an old 2012 Skoda Yeti 4x4 Elegance 2Tdi. Just had its 90k service, and unfortunately the garage (dealership) has picked up an issue with our driver side full beam. We have the xenon headlights, and it appears that the driver side full beam does not work. However, what came more of a shock was that they've advised on their report is a complete headlamp unit replacement with a cost of £915.97!! Looking at the breakdown is appears to be more the cost of the parts than anything else: 1.2hrs labour to replace with parts: 5L2941018C part - £442.61+vat (think this is the headlamp unit) N10566102 part - £206.70+vat (i assume this is the bulb?) As it stands, the side lights work, the dip beam looks fine. Only issue is when the full beams are on, it appears only to be the left that goes on. Not something we've noticed as very rarely use it. And there is no errors shown on the dash to suggest that a fault exists. Fortunately we have some time to and not got our MOT till October. Does this genuinely indicate a complete unit failure? and not an isolated bulb issue for instance (please excuse me, as i'm not exactly technical on these areas) Just on here to see if anyone has had this issue and can provide any advice on their resolution? Obviously the route provided is based on dealership - replacing full oem parts on everything as it seems. Just wondered if there could be a cheaper alternative to purse via an independent for instance? Or is it the case that its not going to make a difference and hence the only real viable option is to replace those oem parts at full cost to really resolve the matter? The parts i've been told are not even in stock, and have to be a factory order of some kind.... Btw, I'm not a motoring diyer so unlikely will take the approach of fixing this myself (taking things apart etc). Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks!

Hi, I'm not sure if we have the same issue. As I was told the control module that we had replaced was located within the glovebox and not the rear seats. You are right in that the service was rather poor from Skoda. Still have the car, and so far all is fine. There are some app issues I've had since then, but is pending with Skoda rather than the dealership. We also noted that the tyre pressure label is incorrect on the car, and had that confirmed with Skoda direct, awaiting to get the label replaced but no response.

Hi, Had our IV60 for 4 weeks now, and i recall initially (1st week) the departure planner feature on the app worked when accessing it. The 2nd week when i access the departure planner (via app iOS) i always get an instant popup message error? Anyone have the same problems or had a resolution?

I guess a reasonable outcome, could have been better but these days i think that's considered decent.

Major update.... After about 8-9 weeks, we are now back to where we should have been since Aug 18th on delivery. It has taken all this time, and 3-4 revised ETAs to get a control module! Part replaced, and all is fully operational now. Now ready to take delivery take 2..... Negotiated compensation of additional 12month warranty and 2 services.... Hoping to progress a smooth delivery after all the time....crazy....

Update... The ETA given to us for last week on the part did not happen. The part was placed back on backorder? The dealership has contacted say they've reached out to Technical again and await a response. They have also asked that I get a case reference for a complaint via Skoda and their MD will look to direct this to exec office of Skoda for assistance? Anyways, Skoda's channel for complaints is pants... On the Skoda website, there's simply no email address for complaints. There is however a generic web form (https://www.skoda.co.uk/discover/contact-us-form) giving you the option to raise a complaint. Thought i'd put something down in writing and submitted my complaint on Sunday 11/09. So far 4 working days have past, and I've still not had any response. Have tried Skoda's chat service and not much success, highlighting that my enquiry complaint is awaiting to be assigned/processed. So no case reference just yet. Doesn't look like i'm going very far with all this.

Yes, you can see why we're kinda holding out....However, one key point is that the car has been registered already (and we have the V5 form) despite not completing delivery i.e. no payment. So the car already has an assigned owner, so surely this will impact the price they can sell this at if we walk away? But perhaps the lost in that is still smaller than the difference from the gov grant and discount that they have already agreed?

Yes expect Skoda UK to assist in this situation...but not seeing anything yet. Been dealing with Sale Manager, and have escalated to Dealer Principle. I've been advised that the Managing Director has been involved. However, in the end there hasn't been any good news so far..?

Definitely have not paid, and to be honest will not until i know this is fixed. And no they did not offer transport or anything to look after us....Dealer is just advising us that they are trying their best but is stalled due to the situation from Skoda. I have written back to Skoda on this, complaining about these timescales. But suspect they'll not care, as they haven't bothered since. I would have thought Skoda would had intervened and assisted with the part situation. I can bet that part is not in backorder for the factory that is building cars.... The issue with walking away now is the lost of the gov grant, the negotiated discount and the time taken to get the car. The dealer has actually told us if we want to reject and walk away we can do that....I was rather surprised seeing that they have already registered the car.

Hi, We're now just over 3 weeks since our scheduled delivery/handover. Unfortunately, things have still not been resolved. The suggested part from Skoda still has not arrived and everything is stalled. We've been told that the suggested part is in backorder, but no ETA. The dealership has claimed to have escalated matter to the highest possible level? But in the end there is no progress. I would have though the dealership would have a direct channel with Skoda UK to deal with these unique matters, but now sense this channel doesnt exist and as I dont see theres much that is getting done to resolve this in a timely manner. In effect the dealership is unable to progress matters as Skoda have in my mind stalled the situation. We're now not really sure what else to do? Can anyone who may have experienced similar issues offer any advice or a useful contact that could unblock or progress this? Time-wise it's becoming silly, next week being 4 weeks... Cheers.

I've been told that the car will be getting a new control module replaced (and not the central console screen). Supposedly it controls a number of features on the car, working in network with other core modules. No more detail than what this does actually, as they don't know the specifics. So far the control module is accessible via the removal of the glovebox. Still awaiting for confirmation on when they will get this part and then an ETA on delivery. Ofcourse that is assuming that the proposed part resolves the issue?! I'm glad we did not fall for the pay in advance! I was very specific in getting the car checked out fully until i'm happy to then transfer the monies. If I found any paint and body damage I would simply reject the car; just bad experience on bodyshop repairs esp on a brand new car. As they have registered the car, i believe they are in the difficult position as they'll make a loss if we walk away or reject. They previously asked us if we would settle the balance before Aug as next month they will be at a temp loss for the unaccounted balance of this car. I don't plan to pay a penny more until i can get visual confirmation that all is good before taking delivery is my stance. Not sure what else i can do tbh? It kinda sucks, and I appreciate its not exactly the dealerships direct fault. Some might say the dealer could have checked the car over, but it would mean have to review all the functions one by one. I can't see any dealership having to do that? I would expect for the factory to have the ability to check things in more depth before it goes out? In terms of Skoda Customer service, they were pants as they're not taking any ownership of the issue? Pushing this back on the dealer by the looks.

Hi, Our new car delivery/handover last Thursday was a bit of disaster... We checked the car in and out, all was good! all the fitted options were good...we began with a tour of the features to illustrate controls etc. This is when things went wrong....and down hill 🙁 First the voice assist that the sale tried to demo didn't do anything (i.e. voice assist button on steering was non-functional). He then tried to pair our iphone to test siri and also appleplay. None of this worked either? They tried other phones which supposedly worked on their other enyaqs. They then tried connecting the phone via usb cable, and again this didnt work either. The usbs were not even charging etc. After an hour of messing around i.e. reboots, factory resets etc. None of these features worked and eventually they got the workshop involved to investigate. In terms of online connectivity via Skoda app. I can confirm this appeared to work fine, it more of the other functions described above. At this point our delivery/handover came to complete halt, and it didn't seem like we'd be getting the car that day! The workshop ended up diagnosing a strange certificate issue relating to the usbs which may also explain the non-functioning of other related communication type features i.e. voice assist laura, applyplay etc. We had to leave the car with the garage as they now raised a ticket with Skoda tech team for further assistance. Our initial thoughts were software related which might require a re-install/re-config. A full week has now past and only today did we get the following update of actions so far across the days: • Skoda technic requesting we recommission the control module this did not work. • Skoda Tech requesting we reinstall and reconfigure the software in the vehicle this did not work either. • Skoda Tech then told us to repeat the recommissioning of the control module after the efforts of Monday with the new software. • Suggestion is to replace the central command console. This is waiting for the factory to confirm the component availability. At this point i'm rather concerned on the suggestion of replacing the central command console!? I'm guessing this is the central screen unit? But have emailed to get clarification if this is the case or if its just an internal control module that's to be replaced? Either way, my concerns is understanding what's involved in this type of repair? I would be pretty annoyed if they need to strip the internal interior of the car in a major way to get access and replace whatever components. Its a brand new car fresh from factory and naturally you would want to keep it in such way without having to tear the interior down if thats what required. However, if its simple non-invasive replacement then fair enough i.e. control module assessible via front bonnet that just needs swapped out. I just can't for the life of me understand how does a new factory car get in this kind of state? Don't they inspect, and run diagnostic checks on the entire cars electronics before they get shipped out to the dealerships for the end customer? I'm also curious if anyone has experienced this on their newly delivery Enyaqs, or are we just the unfortunate ones? As it stands, the car has been registered but we've not made any payment yet. The plan on delivery was to check everything out and on satisfaction of everything we would arrange payment on the delivery day before taking the car. Obviously this didn't happen. We're now in the situation that we still can't be sure how long things will take. At the sametime I have obvious concerns on the work involved for what should be a brand new car. The thought of major console tear down concerns me that things might not get put back in factory condition and introduce other annoyances (my key concern)... Perhaps I'm over reacting and such replacement parts suggested is not an issue, but would like to hear other opinions on this one? In the meantime, I have also contact Skoda Customer Service and advised them of the situation. I'm really unimpressed is all i can say. They just appear to act as a messenger and contact the dealership to advise on what we already know. I was expecting more from them, as the root of the cause is Skoda factory providing a duff car. Anyone have any thoughts and advice on all this? Cheers

Interesting, that's the first time i've heard of this type of self sealing tyre. Are there limitations of this? I mean if you find a nail and it sealed it, can the tyre still be used for the life of it or is it limited to so many miles such that you must change the tyre asap.

What do you mean by self sealing? do you mean run flats? Or does it come with a tyre repair kit?
