Coming home from work tonight and all of a sudden loss of power and 3 lights on dash -

EPC, engine symbol and traction control symbol. No power and car juddering. Booked into Skoda tomorrow but they've no cars available so it's a days holiday wasted.

 

They had a quick look and a fault on the clutch control unit showed up. It's a DSG and been in for the juddering between 1st & 2nd but they said see how it goes before the warranty runs out.

 

Damn cars 

Has your car required the DSG Service Campaign work and was it carried out already.?

Synthetic Oil changed for Mineral & the Software Update.

Yes been done.

 

This may be the culprit. Number 3 HT lead.

"No compression on cylinder 3 and some oil on the plugs"

 

Don't like the sound of this 

How old is your car?

'06 35,000 miles just been serviced before Christmas.

1.2 TSI DSG

Researching on here the culprit may well be a burnt valve, New head required, I have the Skoda extended warranty.

When did Skoda start building Yeti's. 2006 sounds early.

I had constant problems on my 62 reg Yeti 170hp 4x4 from four months old. At twelve months enough was enough and I traded in and got an Octy 3 combi 4x4. The final straw was when I had numerous warning lights come on,epc,engine symbol oil warning light, and brakes on dash then  low oil level on the maxi dot, failure of the speedo and rev counter, then the thing shut down and wouldn't let me restart. Recovered by RAC, dropped off at dealers where it promptly started with no warning lights. Took the dealer another six months and various parts replaced before the fault was finally traced, a faulty reversing sensor. Then the penny dropped, it always happened when I reversed off the drive or out of a parking space.

Typo '60 sorry about that,

One of the ht leads sounds the most likely candidate. Simple to replace yourself and set of 4 is about £35 from euro car parts. They overheat due to being next to the exhaust manifold so the redesigned leads have a bit of plastic cladding to'insulate' them.

As I've said above Skoda got back to me yesterday to say no compression on cylinder 3.

Head off today to investigate. So more serious than an HT lead.

Not common on your engine but more than 20% of the 1.4TSI Twnincharger CAVE engines from 2010-2012 have failed.

 

So it will be a new engine required, and that will be a Warranty bill of over £3,500 Skoda will be footing.

A new engine is exactly what is required. Holed piston.

Now I'm an engineer and we'll never get to the bottom of why the piston has a hole in it but extreme heat would, to me, be the likely cause. Why the engine would get hot on one cylinder is anyone's guess.

Weak mixture from faulty injector?

Right, well they may have fitted a new engine but they certainly haven't replaced all of it. The HT leads are still the old ones.
