Dropped my Yeti over to the phirm today to have my Haldex Pump serviced as well as a rear wheel bearing.

 

The guy showed me some pics of my pump opened and of course there was some sludge, why Skoda only change the oil

is beyond me. So all done and good for another 40k.

Just had my Yeti serviced today. 3 years old with 20600 miles. Took it to very local very wiz independent mechanic with whom I had discussed the haldex 5 gen problems mentioned on this forum. He had already seen this problem in many haldex 5 units - not all on VAG cars. He reported that mine was severely sludged with small (inadequate) filter on the pump considerably restricted. All now cleaned up. Thank goodness we agreed to service the Haldex unit at this stage. 

Local Skoda agent kindly rang me last week to remind me about MOT and brake fluid change being now due. I mentioned the haldex and he had no idea one way or the other. Off topic, the rear brake disks required renewing - totally worn/ rusted on the inner faces. Brake pads and callipers ok.
