Yeah 100% plan on fixing the root cause as I plan on keeping the car for a long time! Had it 2 years and the first thing to fault/break.

Yeah, hopefully it can be sorted with not too much of an expense. My first though was the head gasket had gone as I couldn't see the coolant, but since being shown it, I gathered it wasn't that.

Hello, I have a 2017 rapid space back with a coolant leak it is 1.2tsi with around 34k on the clock. I have had a friend check where the leak is coming from and said it is from the water pump as I couldn’t see any signs that it was coming from there, he said that this is a common issue with this engine as he has seen them in VWs and Seat vehicles too. I was wondering if anyone else has had this issue and what it actually turned out to be and whether they had to replace the full water pump or mentioned to me was a small gasket inside which could be replaced. I am booked in for the 9th at a local garage, but just looking for some information. Thanks.

The thing which I have found is that when I engage in reverse my 'park pilot' engages which I assume is taking some of the voltage etc and not allowing it to go to the heater maybe, which could be causing it, but surely that would be a fault. I will check the pollen filter and update this thread

Wondering if anyone is able to help. Whenever I turn the climate control above 2 notches of power it starts to make like a clicking/rattling noise as if the motor is struggling to spin. Then when the car warms up I can use it pretty normally, but then whenever I press the option to circulate the air its like a horrible motor spinning, which is frustrating and seems like poor quality, which surely it can not be, because my 09 fiesta didn't do anything like that! Sometimes the sound is like a bag blowing in the wind. It also happens whenever I engage reverse and have the heating or air con on, I have only just bought the car 3 months ago from Skoda & ideally wanted to avoid going back there as the aftersales service I had was pretty poor. I do have 12 months warranty and was only serviced the day I picked it up so I assume it can't be anything to do with filters. I am just wondering whether I have a damaged motor or something... Anyone able to provide any assistance or had the same issue?

Hello, Would you be able to link me to where you got the station logos from?
