What's the solution?

It's on 64k miles now

2017 Skoda Kodiaq Coolant leaking up the wiring harness into the ECU socket. Now causing many other issues. Now, sometimes no response from acceleration, rough engine, or rough change of gears. Power issues. The mechanic changed the coolant pump and temp sensor. And cleaned corrosion off the pins and sockets for the ECU. Also tried a replacement ECU. I don't know what to do. I called Skoda service guys they said the next available date to diagnose the car is in December. Issue History I had 3 cigarette lighter fuse blow in less than 3 weeks. I assumed I might have an electrical issue. Soon after an engine check light I got a diagnostic reader to find the fault The faults found were P261A and P261C, which relate to the coolant pump, so I keep an eye on the coolant temps and oil temps to ensure things are not overheating. I took it to the mechanics and told them about the fuse for the cigarette lighter port and this check engine light. They had a look and said the coolant pump is not working, so we will need to change that. Which they said they did. They said the fault is still showing up, so they will give the car to another mechanic shop, a VW & Audi specialist. These guys had a look and said there is a problem with the wiring and we will fix that. I collected the car, and the error came back. They kept the car for another 2 hours to take a look, and they said they changed the wiring on the ECU side too. I was charged a total of £750 One week later, The check engine light is back with the same fault. They said to bring it back and they would fix it under warranty if it is the same problem. I took it back to them and they said no it is not the same issue, the coolant temp sensor is failing and there is coolant in the ECU socket. They showed me a photo of the ECU plug and socket with coolant, and it is corroded. They said they changed the coolant temp sensor and cleaned out the ECU socket of corrosion. Charged another £350 A week or so later, I felt the car was not changing gears smoothly, and then I saw the EPC light on the dash. Now the car is jerking when changing gears, not giving power, and other warnings that showing on the dash. Something about parking brake issues etc. I put the car into park and the car would still roll. Other errors like Park Pilot not working etc. Now I think that the coolant in the ECU socket has messed up the ECU itself. So I bought a new ECU, with the service of cloning my old ECU to the replacement. I drive the car for 30 or so minutes, and all of the errors start again. The car would have power issues, the engine running rough, almost like it is in limp mode. Faults, P2122; P0641; P2562; Traction Light, EPC light, Low Tire Pressure light, Check Engine Light. Messages on Dash, Front Sensor Unavailable.Fault Eletronic Parking Break, Error Hill Hold Assisist. Few Others.

Its getting out of hand, I called Skoda Customer Service, they said there is nothing in T&C that says Kodiaq is not part of Fixed Pricing I called CityGate Main Switchboard, they said they particpate in Fixed Pricing. I called CityGate Watford, waiting for them to call me back as they are too busy. Skoda said they will raise this issue with Management and they will get back to me in 40hrs.

I was told by Citygate Watford that Skoda Kodiaq does not fall under the fixed pricing servicing. And a 40k mile service would require the following Oil & Inspection £187.77 Pollen Filter £63.91 Air Filter £56.97 Spark Plugs £144.04 Skoda Environmental £7.50 Total £460.17 So the prices here https://www.skoda.co.uk/owners/servicin ... ixed-price are not for Kodiaqs? Is this true?

Hi I have a Skoda Kodiaq 1.4 Petrol Automatic, 4x4 DSG. 3 years old, 37k miles now. Its comming up for service and Citygate are quouting me for a major service £377.50.
