Just a Quick one guys, does the vrs have 2 waterpumps an electronic one and a mechanical one? If so which one is to be replaced? Cheers Josh

This is the fault code found

Just spoken to a mechanic whos a family friend and owes me a small favour and hes said he would do the water pump and cambelt for £300 including parts. Im starting to think this is a no brainer and saves all the hassle having to drop the car at skoda for the day getting charged £82 ect. And even if the waterpump gets replaced for free I would still be looking around £150+ to have the cambelt done? My brother has vcds so we will be plugging it in later to see what pops up. Cheers

Seems like I have this problem on a 14 plate vrs with 23000 miles, overheated around 70mph and had to quickly pull over! Cars booked in at skoda on thursday for a checkup but have been warned its 82£ has anyone had any luck with Derby skoda regarding this issue?

Cheers Guys, just spoken to my local dealer in Derby and the car is booked in for 8am on Thursday for a full check, shes told me this is a cost of £82 but to discuss about it being a known fault ect on the day with the service department. So if it does flag up as the waterpump failure heres hoping we can get at least the 50% discount! Cheers Josh

Hey guys First time poster here! I have a mk3 vrs on a 14 plate 23000 miles. Got the dreaded overheated warning today while traveling around 70mph pulled over into a layby to have a look. Popped the bonnet and no visual problems leaks, low coolant, fan not kicking in ect. AA was called and arrived in around 45 mins in this time i had restarted the car and left it idiling for around 10 mins and it sat at 90 degrees on the dot like nothing had happened! Also sat googling to find many threads about the Dreaded waterpump failure AA man turns up and cant find an issue at all and Ive drove her Home without an issue? was around a 30 mile trip. So the question is does this sound like the waterpump problem? and is there any chance at all if it is of getting it free/discounted price? Cheers guys
