Yetis with engines under 2.0-litres and front-wheel-drive are fitted with the DQ200 dry clutch DSG which has been more problematic, while 2.0-litre and four-wheel-drive versions use the wet clutch DQ250 which is not perfect, but has a better reliability record.
A full service history is a must, as this should include the oil and filter change for the wet clutch DQ250 which will help to keep it running as it should. You can find out more here: www.honestjohn.co.uk/dsg-gearbox/
