Hello, 

 

4 months after buying my lovely Betty the Yeti, on Christmas eve I had the RAC out as she wouldn't start... RAC said the code was the EGR valve and did a fix with a coke can to get me to a garage. We have one local good garage open tomorrow (or its waiting until 4th Jan). I've done some reading on here and am not sure whether to try and get it to a Skoda dealer (40 mins drive away, who knows if we'll make it) or the local garage (5 Mins). The Skoda garage should have a 2 year guarantee on parts and hopefully be more familiar with the work - whilst the local garage will only have 1 year guarantee on parts but might be able to fit me in quicker? Is that probably about right? 

 

Do I win the prize for most expensive Yeti fix in shortest period of ownership?!

How old is your Yetii and has it had the fix? It should have a sticker in the boot if the fix has been carried out and may still be covered. A Skoda main dealer should be able to look this up over the phone.

Hi Colin, it's a 2012 model and no paperwork we have said it's had the fix. No sticker near the boot but I'll double check, thanks. 

Does it show on the VIN checker as outstanding for a Recall Action/ The Fix?

Also, it had a throttle valve position sensor error earlier last week - garage removed the throttle flap, cleaned and refit. Could this be related?

Thanks for this - yes it has had the work done. Found the date, 2016.
