Hi. How did you get on with your claim??
I
have a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI SE which is a lease car. It is less than 12
months old with 13,000 on the clock. From new I noticed a rotating tick
over noise which I thought was just the noise a Skoda diesel engine
made. I took the car to the Skoda dealer in Bournemouth for a heated
wing mirror fault, but informed them that I was concerned about the tick
over noise which seems to be getting louder. Instant diagnosis, it's
your bad driving, it's the DMF that needs replacing you will have to pay
for it, or we will charge the lease company, who will then charge you.
This is just the start, I am waiting to see what they come up with when
they have carried out a full examination. Has anyone else had the same
problem? This is the reply I have just received from the garage
Hello Geoffrey <wbr>
As you are aware your vehicle is in for a clutch repair today. The
garage has removed the transmission assembly to gain access to the
clutch. The clutch has been removed and inspected. After a long
conversation with there master technician, he confirmed there are no
manufacturers defects, the noise and low clutch pedal travel are caused
by premature wear.<wbr>
I have called Skoda UK, they confirmed there are no issues with clutch
failure on this model, they have search on this model and no other
issues exist with clutch failure. <wbr>
As the clutch has worn prematurely we are looking to yourself for the
cost of the repair. Please confirm you accept £504.32 + vat as a
recharge. Should you wish to dispute this, we can instruct an
independent engineers to inspect the vehicle and create a report.Regards
