Skoda Yeti Diesel Stalling Issue
Summary of the thread
A 2014 Skoda Yeti diesel is experiencing stalling at idle and a check engine light, suspected to be due to a fuel tank ventilation leak. The issue is likely related to the EVAP system, specifically a defective activated charcoal filter, which can cause pressure build-up and trigger the leak detection system. The suggested solution is to have the vehicle checked at a workshop for a proper leak detection test, which confirmed the charcoal filter as the problem, costing 275€ to fix.

Charcoal filter, eh? Where is that located?

Yeah, the charcoal filter is part of the EVAP system. It's there to capture fuel vapors. When it fails, it can mess with the air flow and cause problems. Stalling isn't fun. Honestly, I'd suggest getting it checked at a workshop. They can run a proper leak detection test on the fuel tank and pinpoint the problem.

Thanks for the help. It turned out to be the charcoal filter. Cost 275€ to get it sorted.

Sounds like an EVAP system issue. I had a similar problem with my Yeti, though it wasn't stalling. The check engine light was on, and the error code pointed to a fuel tank ventilation leak. Have you checked the air flow of the EVAP system or the pressure sensor? It could be a defective activated charcoal filter. Those filters are known to cause problems with the EVAP system. If the filter is clogged, it can cause a pressure build-up in the fuel tank, triggering the leak detection system and turning on the check engine light. It's a common issue, really.
