Does the Skoda Yeti have a dual mass flywheel?
I've been reading about the problems with dual mass flywheels on diesel cars, but had thought it was only manual models that were susceptible. However, I've since heard that automatics can also be affected. Can you clarify? I was considering purchasing a Skoda Yeti 2.0 TDI DSG, have I any reason to be concerned?

Yes, VAG DSGs and S-Tronics also have DMFs. Torque converter automatics generally don't because the torque converter does the job.
