Skoda Yeti Jerking and Stalling

Sounds like you've got a vacuum leak somewhere in your intake system. The jerking, rough running, and stalling are all classic symptoms. The error code and check engine light confirm something's definitely amiss. Have you checked for any obvious cracks or damage to the intake manifold or any of the vacuum lines connected to it? What kind of manifold pressure readings are you getting?

Thanks for the quick reply I haven't checked the manifold myself yet, to be honest. I'm not really sure where to start. Vacuum leak is that like when a pipe bursts in your house and you lose water pressure? What exactly do you mean by 'manifold pressure readings'? Where would I even find those?

A vacuum leak in your intake manifold is like a hole in a straw – it messes up the pressure and air/fuel mixture the engine needs to run correctly. The scorching you suspect would cause exactly that. The symptoms you describe, combined with the error code, strongly point to a leaking intake manifold. Manifold pressure readings would confirm this, but you'd need a diagnostic tool to access those. Given the complexity, I'd recommend taking it to a trusted mechanic for a proper diagnosis and repair. It sounds like you're on the right track, but pinpointing the exact location of the leak and replacing the manifold is best left to professionals.

Skoda Yeti fixed I took it to the workshop. You were spot on the intake manifold was leaking. The scorching you mentioned was exactly what they found. Total cost was around 1180€, which stings, but at least it's running smoothly again. Thanks a million for your help!
