Ach rear boot button seems to given up now after sometime…. It is safe to say that if I can still open the boot via the remote key fob then the issue is the micro switch button (and not any wiring)?

Thanks for everyone's feedback. I went out and gave things a try this lunchtime......to my surprise everything worked as normal!? Whilst last night it didnt even budge (no latching noise nothing)? The external handle/switch worked without issue, as you could hear the latch trigger. I also tried the keyfob and that worked also. I managed to use the keyfob alone to open the boot without touching the external handle/switch. Required me to press/hold the fob once to unlock the boot, then a further press/hold whilst opening the boot. I wonder if its just a sign that the handle/switch is on its way? I do wonder if the issue may have been related to the rain and moisture has worked it way in causing a temp issue? Random guesses here? Just have to monitor things.

Thanks, will take a look. If switch the dead, i assume using the fob would still work as a temp option ?

Hi, When our car is unlocked, we appear to have an issue such that we can't open the boot lid via the external boot release switch just above the number plate? When pressing this switch, i can't seem to hear the usual actuator noise? So eventually gave up this evening... Is there a way of manually opening the boot lid? can someone advise? I also realised later on that there might be another option to open via the keyfob? So assume this option might work and worth a try in the morning? I assume this might be a common issue, any ideas if this sounds like a faulty boot release switch? or possibly wiring etc? thx

Should had said, i've been looking at getting these from Costco. They offer the best prices on Michelins that many others can't match. However, issues with stock..

Quick question on stock tyres for Yeti TDI2.0 Elegance 4x4. I understand the default factory size is 225/50 R17 94W. I'm trying to get a set of All Season tyres - Michelin Cross Climates2 per the factory size, but struggling to get stock. However have been advise that stock is available for the same type but in 225/50 R17 98V. I assume the rating must be 94W or higher. Although its a higher load rating 98 vs 94. But its lower speed rating which causes issue? I assume the type of tyre (All Season) does not have any bearing on what the ratings can be. I assume technically on paper the 98V is a no, especially from a insurance point of view? Can someone advise?

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..?
