Hi, welcome from another new member. I too have the same issue with my 2013 yeti L&K , luckily it’s got a 5 yr warranty which runs out next month and is booked in on fri for repair. Unfortunately the pan roof leak (which is why the previous owner sold it )  has fried the Bluetooth unit. They tell me that’s not under warranty as the pan roof only has a 3 month warranty from new !!!

mission seek module is on !! Good luck with the heater .

Thanks surely these electronic devices  should have a decent lifespan and should be well protected from water call me a cynic but these things seem to happen as the warranty expires thanks again for your reply

A warm welcome to the Forum!  You could try the dealer with, "Car not of merchantable quality."  Alternatively, try and find an independent heater systems specialist.  Good luck anyway.

Going down that road at the moment have contacted Skoda and they have arrange examination at dealer. Keep you all posted

Hi all 

just to say, after explaining my problem to Skoda direct and stating that the car was less than three years old Skoda agreed with me on the Heater Malfunction and agreed to cover cost of same, so thanks to all who helped with advice

Great news

 Good news, perseverance pays off with the stealers, mine was sorted at no cost to me, going into a Skoda approved body shop on fri for paint warranty on the rear doors . We’ll see.
