Thanks for the quick reply, that sounds a lot like my Skoda. So, if you're right, they'll probably just replace the faulty glow plugs. Can you maybe remember roughly what you paid for it? Has anything else come up since the replacement that needed fixing? Thanks for your help!

Hey, I can tell you from my own experience, on my car it was actually the glow plug! They then brought this ground connection to the glow control unit up to scratch. It cost around 120 euros, so don't panic, it won't cost you the shirt off your back. Since then, everything has been running like clockwork and the aforementioned glow plug malfunction is history. So all in all, nothing to be seriously worried about!

Hey, your answers were really helpful, thank you! I took my Yeti straight to the garage. You guessed it, the diagnosis was: Defective glow plug! They had to replace a glow plug. The cost of 130 euros was also reasonable, I'm really relieved. A real bargain compared to my last visit to the garage! I'm super happy with the work of the mechanics and my Yeti back on the road. Thanks for the support and the valuable tips! Best regards!

Hey, your Skoda sounds to me like a typical glow plug malfunction. Well, the mileage of your Yeti Skoda at around 125,000 km is quite a lot and it sounds logical that small problems will occur at some point. Parts like the glow plug are subject to a certain amount of wear. If you were to tell me now that the car has only covered 30,000 km and the problem occurs, I might think of something else. But with your mileage, it is indeed likely that the glow plug will have to be replaced and yes, depending on exactly how many glow plugs have to be replaced, it will cost between 100 and 200 euros. Positive side effects of a replacement could be that the car no longer produces so much smoke when accelerating and the DPF regeneration should work again. Your suspicion about the glow plug is therefore plausible in my opinion.

It sounds like you're having multiple issues with your Skoda Yeti. The engine light and traction control light being on could indicate a problem with the vehicle's engine management system or the traction control system. The car stalling at idle could be due to a variety of issues, such as a problem with the fuel system, ignition system, or a vacuum leak. I would recommend starting with a basic check of the car's systems. You can do this by using an OBD-II scanner to read the fault codes from the car's computer. These codes can give you a starting point for your diagnosis. Please remember that working on a car's engine and traction control system can be complex and if you're not comfortable doing it yourself, it's always a good idea to take your car to a professional mechanic. Let us know what the fault codes are and we can provide further advice.

The camshaft and crankshaft sensors are crucial for your engine's operation. If they're malfunctioning, it could indeed prevent your car from starting. These sensors provide vital information to your car's computer about engine speed and timing, which is used to control ignition and fuel injection. Given the error codes you've received, I would recommend replacing both the camshaft and crankshaft sensors. These parts are not typically very expensive and can often be replaced with basic tools. However, if you're not comfortable doing this yourself, I would recommend taking your car to a professional mechanic. Once you've replaced these sensors, please update us on whether your car is able to start and if the engine and traction control lights have turned off.

Hello, I experienced something similar with my 2010 Skoda Octavia. I noticed that the pre-glow light would not go out and the engine light was constantly on. After my visit to the garage, it turned out that it was actually a glow plug that wasn't working properly. With your Yeti, this also fits well, especially as you say that the DPF regeneration seems to be failing and black smoke is coming out of the exhaust. This may indicate that the engine is burning more fuel than it should, which often happens when one or more glow plugs are not working properly. On my last repair they just had to replace the faulty glow plug and that solved the problem, it shouldn't be a complicated thing. A professional diagnosis at a garage can give you more certainty and rule out any other problems. Good luck with that!
