Update here : Today my header tank. And heatercore changed. And it was a denso build. So skoda has was right about it. But the problem is not solved. The car still not heating. So nothing changed at all.

Yeah both of them shows when i search in different places. So it can be Valeo or Denso built. I think i will order both and send the other one back again. Thank you guys.

Yeah but the parts is different. Look at the photos.

Hi. But these two parts is different if you look up on Nissens or other companys website. One is Denso and one in Valeo. But both of them will fit my car it says. So i dont really know how. And the heater is also different. I saw brunch of videos and it is different which one the each car have in it. Ok i will order it without silikat. And then i use to G12 evo coolant only right? Because it is without silikat?

Hi again. Thanks for your detailed explanation of the process. I am also considering replacing my heating element as it can also get clogged. However I am having a bit of trouble finding the right part for my car. I called Skoda and they give me a different part number than other dealers. Is there a place to find it? The Skoda dealer told me it is a 5Q0819031A All other places I check told me it is 5Q0819031 So where is it possible (without taking anything apart) to find the right one? And one more question what is the disadvantage of buying a coolant reservoir without silicate? Do you have to change the coolant more often? Thanks

Hi. Tomorrow i will visit my mechanic to check. How can i buy single skin tank? Or do you have or know the part number so i can check for exactly the single skin tank. Where can i see it. Because it doesnt tell in the shop where i check for a new header tank. And i will try to tell them how to clean this mess up. So we need first to get all the old coolant out first. After this we need to use normal water to flush. And now we use this speciel additive from VW and run the car up in temperature (with header tank cap off) Is it right? or can you try to write it for me in sequnce. I would be so glad. Thank you!

Hi friend. First of all thank you so much for taking your time for answer my questions so good. I checked my header tank to see if the silica is exploded. But i cannot see it. The coolant color look very suspicious. I will upload some photo of it to. How can i know if it is exploded? If it is exploded? Should we flush thw system with this special cleaning product from VW before chaging anything? Or Should we change the header tank and more before flushing? Hope you understand what i mean. And is 5L og this cleaning product enough? I saw several videoclips where people change the heat radiator under the console. Is it necessary? And for my abs problem i think you are right with the abs master cylinder. But to be sure can we check it in a special way ? It is this one for my car right ?

Hi Everyone. I have two different problems that I want to hear from you about. 1. Not so long ago my brake pedal started to feel a bit wrong. As if it just grabs and brakes immediately without you pressing so hard. Later the car started to light up in abs and the red exclamation mark. But the abs light only lights up when you start the car. When you start it goes away. However, the exclamation mark continues to light up. I put a tester on today and it says code: (C10A329) Vacuum sensor. I had the vacuum sensor replaced and reset it. But it lights up again in exactly the same way. Has anyone experienced the same thing and can give me some advice? Where else should I look? 2. Even though my car gets warm, it takes a long time to heat the cabin. The fan doesn't run quite like it usually does either, I think. And the passenger side blows out almost no heat compared to the driver's side. Skoda Octavia vrs 2.0 TSi 220hp Year 2014. Really hope there is someone here who can guide me a little in this. Thanks in advance and Happy New Year.

Thank you all for the reply. I take my car out for a long trip. And speed it up for a long time. And problem solved. It was water in exhaust system. Thank you guys again.

Okay. Maybe it is because the car is used for short trips. Nope no smell.

It seems like this smoke is normal. Mine vrs also doing some mist on my rear window.

Also need to add. My spark plugs are new NGK and my mechanic also checked these and inside the cylinder. He told me all the cylinders and spark plugs are fine to. These are my new spark plugs : https://www.ngk.com/ngk-94833-plfer7a8eg-laser-platinum-spark-plug

Hi all. I am a happy owner of a Octavia Vrs 2.0Tsi patrol and new on this forum. Right now there is a little problem with my car. When i accelerating my car put out so much white smoke so i can't see nothing from my rear window. On idle everything is normal. Last day my mechanic checked my water system vacuum test and see if there was some gas inside the water but nothing to see. He told me everything is fine? My car is using some water but not so much. So is there a anyone having the same problem with this car or are there anything else we should check? I got the car for 6 months soon. Hope someone can give me good inputs here. Thank you very much!
