Old thread, but I have recently got this message on an intermittent basis on my 2016 Octavia. Does it matter ie can you just ignore the message? Replacement sensors are available but I gather they are not easy to fit. Any experience? I don’t want to replace they whole unit.

I went to a local garage and they confirmed the fault and replaced the water pump and timing belt for approx £650. They said it was a known fault for all VAG cars using that engine. I asked about a claim but they said as the timing chain needed replacing after 5 years and that they would always replace the water pump at the same time, there would be little point in claiming. Disappointing for such a good and reliable car.

My Octavia 2.0 TDI, Nov 2016, 45,000 has been diagnosed with the water pump issue. Are Skoda/Skoda dealers still paying compensation or the car too old?
