Since my last post my car has lost zero coolant in 1500 miles now today I’ve noticed it’s gone from max to min level in a few days (checked level last on Thursday) gona leave it to see if it goes below min level and triggers the coolant light maybe car is just working out air bubbles after replacing T belt kit and pump?

Hi all My new to me 2016 superb L&K coolant level was dropping to below min level every 3 or so days, I topped it up from below min to max every time. Car has 120k miles with full Skoda dealer history to 118k last serviced at dealer in January. I’ve changed the T belt kit and waterpump 3 days ago with genuine parts for peace of mind and noticed the waterpump impeller shield has seized in the closed position, thinking this was my problem sorted with the new pump but after bleeding the car properly I’m sure there’s no more air in the system the coolant level is still dropping!? New EGR cooler was fitted at dealer last year, no visible leaks anywhere. New coolant tank and cap fitted also 3 days ago? Anyone shed any light on this? Cars not over heating, no pressure in coolant tank next morning and not mixing oil or water. Thanks

New Timing belt kit and water pump fitted yesterday, waterpump shield that covers the impeller to allow the car to heat up faster was stuck closed not circulating the coolant properly. New pump has sorted the heating issue now all vents get hot air!

Hi did you get this sorted mines also doing the same?

Better safe than sorry I’ve a 2016 Mk7 golf R also, I’ve removed the pack from the coolant tank just incase 😂

I would well believe it! 😂 I’ll update you on the coolant loss side of it when I do the t belt and water pump on Monday see if the pump is actually leaking or not. Cheers again Allan!

Yes Allan car is out of warranty from June last year, I’ve removed the passenger side lower panel to access the heater matrix and both pipes entering and exiting the matrix are very hot to touch making me believe the matrix isn’t blocked? It’s had an EGR cooler fitted in December 2018 by Skoda before I bought it, car has full Skoda history up to November 2019

Thanks Allan my tank has got that on it! Coolant level is also going down topped up twice in 300 miles it’s back below minimum again all inside 2 weeks, I’ve ordered new t belt kit and water pump maybe it’s leaking? No leaks from underneath as it was serviced last week and all is clean. Also new upgraded coolant tank ordered without “ mit silikat “ on it all genuine from Skoda. Would it be worth flushing heater matrix with I’ve the system drained?

Centre back did you get this sorted my car is doing the exact same thing and coolant looks the same as this also? Centre back did you get this sorted my car is doing the exact same thing and coolant looks the same as this also?
