The coolant red warning light and buzzer went mental 2 days ago. The temp went shooting up. I stopped and checked for leaks etc. Coolant correct level and had dealer 40k service a few weeks ago and the car is a June 2018 model. The temp dropped back down to 90 degrees and I aborted my journey and the temp gauge was variable on the way home. Called Lookers Newcastle-upon-Tyne and knowledgeable salesman advised me NOT to drive it and call Skoda assist who recovered the vehicle and arranged an automatic courtesy car. Collected my Superb today & it was a faulty secondary coolant pump which is apparently a common fault on these 2 litre VW diesels. Fortunately everything was warranty but if it had occurred in 3 months time it would have cost ITRO £300-£400 which made me glad its a lease car. However my replacement is T6 4motion same engine...out of the fat into the proverbial!

Thank you!

Hello everyone. I`m on my second Skoda, the first was a DSG Scout 4x4 Estate (lovely vehicle) & since June this year a DSG Superb Estate 4x4. Cheers, Dudley
