Well it’s certainly not a 170.

False advertising 

but

I’d be grateful it’s euro6 compliant because the the addition of SCR, although adding more complexity, makes longer term, less worrisome ownership much more certain.......and less restrictive in terms of future options compared to the dirty euro5s, surely.

It may simply be an error in the advert (rather than deliberate "false advertising") especially as the Skoda systems are confused as to what it is.

 

My understanding is that the 150 has a little less power than the 170 but similar torque and better economy (no bad thing).

 

As the 150 is the later generation of engine then arguably the OP is fortunate to have got the newer/cleaner 150 rather than the older/dirtier 170.

 

What I've not quite got my head around is whether the 150 is arguably a 170 replacement (in which case the OP should celebrate) or a 140 replacement (in which case perhaps not).

Check out engine code CUUB here...

Great.

 

You have a Euro6 EA288 engine producing 110kw or 150ps. The engine code is CUUB.

 

The vin is for a MY16 (model year) vehicle which would probably have been sale from September 2015 onwards. This would make it a 2015 ('65 plate) even though the vin shows it as a 2016 model. This all ties in with the adblue tank.

 

As it's not a 125kw/170ps EA189, the diesel gate fix doesn't apply and therefore is unrelated to any issues you're having.

 

Definitely sounds like you were mislead in to buying it. Not sure what come back you have so it might be worth considering legal advice, especially if it's also having issues.

 

Edit: didn't see the other replies, sorry about the repeat of info!

When was the car First Registered by ARNOLD CLARK.

?

Is it not one of the TDI's that the VW Group stopped the sale of after the Emissions Scandal broke in September 2015?

It was to be Unregistered cars, but i believed it was also Demonstrators in stock as well.

Personally I think you have had a lucky escape.

I have the 150ps car, which has more than adequate performance, and for most of the time I have not missed the extra 20ps. You haven't missed it either as have never actually had it.

You have a Euro 6 car which produces hardly any nox, and is most unlikely to be banned from town centres in years to come. Plans are in place to ban up to Euro 4 cars soon in some places, and I suspect with the emissions scandal euro 5 cars will follow shortly.

 

If it was a 170 it would have to be older than it is, and it would have probably had the "fix" which I would not consider accepting on any car I own , due to the possible risks involved. My wifes euro 5 fabia will not be having it done unless it becomes compulsory as apparently in Germany.

 

By all means chase for compensation, take it and then be happy you have ended up with the car you were actually sold.

Chase for a car fit for purpose, not going into limp mode.   So that is with SKODA UK.   As to ARNOLD CLARK MOTOR group, legal action against them should be easy if you were mis-sold.   But again SKODA UK can get involved there,  because they are the importer.   Odd set of circumstances happened. Fuddle or fiddle is the question.

Got there in the end,so it’s the 150 Bhp as the insurance know ,the DVLA know and now we all know,where did all the confusion begin.

From one figure being wrong in an advert.
And as usual some people have gone OTT.

?

one figure.  is that 5 instead of 7, or 150 instead of 170. 

 

What is the difference in the valuation on the vehicles, or the purchase price,

and did it matter to the person thinking they were buying a 170ps Diesel?

SCR is a bit of a difference.

Where you can drive it is also I would have thought.

As it is ARNOLD CLARK MOTOR GROUP can pay for the ad-blue for the time the OP owns the vehicle if they want that.

 

So we all agree it’s the 150bhp with adblue BUT back to the original post about going into limp mode and excessive regens  and I was wondering if the 150 is as troublesome as the 170  with dpf and regens etc?

That’s the question.

I guess there’s always a one-off in everything and surely the dealership will start acting like they care ........eventually.

Had no problems with my 150 and it does a couple of short runs every week. Hardly ever notice it doing a regen, and the Adblue tank seems to last 5k miles between reflls.

^^^ The OP has issues, hence this thread.

As an aside.......how did the ‘170’ get by without the cheat in any case?.

or was it subject to the recall also?

Edited 11 March, 20188 yr by Ryeman

It was also subject to the fix, but some suggest less affected, perhaps as more powerful?

I still would not risk owning one which has been "fixed"!

Maybe he just didn’t know that it would go into limp mode if the DEF tank got too low..........he thought it was the 170 after all.

If the dealership simply topped up the tank that would have fixed the limp situation.

The regeneration is just normal.

Sales and Service don’t talk to each other normally, so they wouldn’t understand the buyers confusion over different series engines.

 

still, it’s hard to believe either way.

Thanks guys

 

1 - The regen problem is almost certainly down to me doing mostly short trips and not enouigh motorway type driving.

2 - Will plan to do at least one long run every 4 weeks

3 - Will download VW DPF app and getan obd2 dongle to check dpf values

4 - Will seek advice regarding Arnold Clark and let you know how that goes.

5 - I have had confirmation fron the official Skoda Check site that my car is not affected by the fix..

6 - The Adblue tank has always been filled as soon as the warning light came on so I can't think that has caused any problems with      limp mode.

 

Just taxed the car for 12 months yesterday because I really do like the yeti very, very much and intend to keep it a while yet.

First of all-  Yes I doI have an adblue tank and have filled it up twice following warning light.

I am getting so confused trying to sort out my enine .Reply from Skoda received this morning telling me they could not give me the details of the engine they fitted in my yeti.(are they keeping something from me?)

On a skoda yeti vin check site the details came up as a 2016 model with a 125kw engine so I checked under the boot carpet and the detail sticker shows the engine as  110 kw   M6A.

1 - Can anyone translate the details on the attached picture.

2 - Is it possible that the vin code is incorrect

3 - I still have the Arnold Clark advert for the car stating it is a 170 ps (ex demo) car with 10 miles on the clock and if the car is proven   to be a 150 ps what course of action could I take against the seller.

4 - Strange how this post has gone from a DPF problem to an engine size problem just because I wanted to order a bluetooth code reader to read the DPF state on my phone when all I needed was the engine detail to order it.

Getting really angry with the possibility that I have been sold a car wrongly described.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

 

 

Quite clear on label 110kw which is the same as 148ps

 

Overfilling adblue can cause problems

 

Basically with your mileage and your type of driving you shouldn't have a diesel

 

Fans running when you stop is a sign that it's trying to actively regenerate. Each time it's doing a repeated regen it's injecting extra diesel on the exhaust stroke some of which can run down the side of the bores(OK with normal driving but after multiple regens....). Diesel is not a great lubricant (for the bores or the contaminated sump oil)

 

Saying that as of June all new petrol cars will have a GPF -  but petrol burns hotter and should passively re generate

Regens are acceptable, and not an issue with a 2.0TDI 150ps /SCR.   

My 2016 Alhambra stinks if being used daily for a week of short trips of a few miles.

 

Going into Limp Mode is another matter all together.  That is an issue.

Back to the original post. Car has gone straight into limp mode 3 times now2 with just the engine management light and exhaust problem light(yellow) going on as limp mode kicks in. 

I have only had the DPF warning light (white) show up once  and that was well before the first limp mode event.

 

Think a trip to my local Skoda dealer is needed. The Arnold Clark dealership is a 200 mile round trip for me.

That might fix it for now! (just the 200 mile journey)
