1st reliability issue in my 2nd Skoda Yeti: Turbo actuator fail, here we go again......?

[Abominable]

Longer term users of this forum may remember the many problems that plagued my first Yeti 1.2TSi. In six years it clocked up 30 warranty claims / faults; everything from failed ABS warning harness, HT leads, wheel bearings, timing chain fault, paint issues, rust.... Things got so bad Skoda UK eventually helped to put me in a new one (not for free, sadly!).

 

Anyway, here I am with 12,500 miles on my 2^nd Yeti and the first fault has developed....a failed turbo actuator / wastegate. The wastegate and the complete turbo unit was replaced efficiently by West End Garage in Edinburgh.

 

I was so hopeful that I could get to 100,000 miles without any issues, but it seems that's not to be, so I might as well start a new list and see if this Yeti can beat the last one to 30 faults!

 

So,

 

No 1. Turbo Actuator fail.
