Hey there, I have been having some issues with my Skoda Yeti. Its second hand, 52000 miles.
Recently when I drive my car and then stop for a short period of time (10-30 minutes) and start driving again the engine coolant light flashes and beeps at me. This has happened about 3/4 times now but I have managed to lower the temperature by turning the heating on (to let the hot air out, as my breakdown service told me).
However, a few times the engine temperature has gone way over 90 and I have had to pull over and call my breakdown service. This has happened three times and has resulted in my car being taken in for repair. The first time they found a split in the coolant pipe and replaced it and then the second time they found that the water pump wasn't working, so that was replaced also. I have also had the timing belt replaced at the same time as the water pump.
However, the light came on again today after I stopped for 5 minutes at a drive through and then drove onto the dual carriageway. It only came on for a few seconds and I turned the heater on and it disappeared. What could this possibly be?! My dealer say they have checked everything and it all seems to be in order, so why does the light randomly come on?
I am due a service, so could it be something related to that?
I'm concerned mainly because I have to drive up country on Sunday by myself and do not want to break down on the side of the motorway again!
Thanks!
