Skoda Yeti Gearbox & Transmission Problems

Your car has what’s called a dual-clutch transmission rather than a conventional automatic. And this transmission – which is used in many of the Volkswagen family’s models – has been known to give trouble. Failures of the clutch packs and electronic control units are the most commonly reported, but many experts reckon the dual-clutch in your car is a problem waiting to happen.

The situation is worse if you have the dry-clutch version of this gearbox, and in that case, failures from cars built around this time are relatively high.

A transmission specialist should be your first port of call. They will be able to assess what’s wrong and give you an idea of your next step. You might just find, however, that the cost of repairs is equal to, or greater than the value of the car.

But don’t give up hope just yet, it could be something simple and easy to fix. It’s just that experience with these cars suggests it could well be the opposite.
