Car is 2011 1.8 TSi

 

I’m aware of the issue but wanted to know if anyone has had this lately

 

ive got the dreaded piston oil leak issue (I think)

 

2 litres of oil every 400miles

 

tailpipe is really sooty

 

been ignoring for a while but can’t anymore 

 

how much will this cost me and does it have to be through a Skoda dealer 

 

 

Hi Yetski

 

Almost certainly a piston ring/bore issue, more information as to the remedial work if you search on this forum. Be aware that the burnt oil in the exhaust gas is also likely to have had a damaging effect on the catalyst. 

 

I'd suggest an independent VAG specialist as the best compromise between knowledge/skill level and cost.  Also suggest you get a written quote first, as the final bill could be more than a 10 year old Yeti is worth.  Sorry to be bearer of bad tidings.

Anyone know of any decent VAG specialists in Reigate/Redhill/Horley area? (M25 Jn8)

CT cars West Horsley.

 

They did my remap and only work on VAG, they seemed very knowledgable and have good google reviews.

 

I can't recommend the VAG specialist in the Effingham road Copthorne, too busy, too expensive & not interested. But if they really are so booked up then some people must reckon them.
