Bought a Skoda Octavia elegance 2.0L TDI 2015 estate about 3 months ago and on the first week I got the heating problem. It would heat so much that it would hit the red and then within 10 second go back to normal. It would happened 2 or 3 times a week at the start of the journey. After searching the INTERNET I came across this site. I went ahead and changed the water pump and timing belt. It's been about 2 months now and I have really pushed the car to the max and not once has it overheated. I did not bother wasting any time asking the main dealer for any money, even though its the water pump that was faulty.
