Thanks for that, I genuinely believed the garage when they told me, I was hopeful that the problem was easily solved ,I used this garage for 8 years when I was a courier and used to do 70/80000 miles a year and never any problems accept wear and tear so I knew they would not rip me off, now to start looking for my next adventure. cheers to you all and once again many thanks for your assistance.

To all of you who replied to my post regarding my Skoda Roomster ,I would like to say many thanks for your suggestions ,I took the car to a local garage that had a very good reputation , he had it all the day from 9am and phoned me around 4pm to tell me that after testing he had diagnosed that the head or the block was cracked and he had spoken to an engineer who said it wasn`t worth repairing because it was an aluminium head and block , so a quote for a replacement engine was in the region of £1500 and even then no gurantee that would be any good he then refused to take any money whatsoever for all the time he had worked on the car whch I thought was very generous of him after all his time and effort ,so unfortunately it looks like it will be going to the scrapyard. Many thanks again for all your suggestions.

Sorry for the mixup ,i was replying to another post,No other warning except the temperature red light and beeping warning, and no sound of the fan kicking in ,I`ve booked it in for tomorrw to be checked out, i`ll let you know the results then. thanks for your help.

It is certainly overheating ,when I pop the bonnet the expansion tank is full of water and when I release some of the pressure the water boils out from the overflow pipe , but this can happen within 10 minutes of driving and if I do not release the pressure the next time I use the car the next day the warning light comes on straightaway and the tank shows low water ,then when I release the cap the water is forced out of the overflow pipe. cheers

Part of the problem is there is no temperature gauge ,it`s a blue light only when it starts up,and after a few minutes that goes out and then when it starts to overheats,with no warning another light which is red and a beeping noise comes on and lets you know there is a problem ,so there,s no way to measure the temperature visually ,and the coolant is a pink colour,hopefully this will help you. cheers

This is my first post and I wondered if anyone can give me some advice regarding my 63 reg 1.2 TSI overheating all the time , I bought the car last December with 42000 miles on it ,but have hadn`t had a chance to give it a run until recently when I managed to go about 20 miles and that`s when it started to give me problems,I would appreciate any advice that anyone can give me regarding this problem

I have found this forum by searching for answers to my queries regarding my 2013 Skoda roomster 1.2 tsi ,hopefully I can resolve my problem,thank you
