Hi Does anyone know the location for the relay that controls the auxiliary coolant pump on a fabia 2014 1.6 tdi. And how to identify it. Thank you.
-
After replacing the pump which is situated at the bottom of the engine how do I refill the system with coolant I.e. bleeding
-
Yeah I've just chat gtp'd it. It's pointing me to secondary pump that is electrically activated. Going to have a look at it in a bit.

I had a code fault on my old reader stating coolant circuit open. I believe it's down to the thermostat being stuck open after a temporary repair I did using a kind of steel seal product to stop a coolant leak

Hi all, Does anyone know where the thermostat is on a skoda fabia 2014 1.6 tdi reg Yn64wdc if that helps. ? Much appreciated

Engine light is off, don't really know if it's cleaning out the egr because it wasn't bad at all, probably disconnecting the battery that did it , I saw on the Internet if you disconnect battery then put ignition, lights on and connect the battery wires it drains all elec from car and resets everything. See what happens when I take it for a drive.

I just checked what I could see, oil, water etc, belts general conditions if it starts, how it starts, drives etc, just got back now from driving it for 2 hours straight no issues at all, fuel consumption is the same, revs stable no jumping, sounds good running, no smells or unusual sounds.

No new parts fitted. Normal day to day light driving. The light wasn't on yesterday I parked it up over night got in this morning started it up and the light was on. I've checked the engine manually everything seems fine, took it for a drive and it drives exactly the same as every other day.

Solved, it isn't a T40 torx nut it's a T40 Torx plus socket.

It's definitely a 6 pointed nut type nut the 12 points or 6 point with a hole or any security bolt. They're just mega tight and probably been over tightened at the factory or tightened correctly just made from poor material like low quality mild steel.

Ended up using this, was very skeptical but it actually does what it says it's fixed. Used half a bottle and put the other half in back of car in case I ever get a coolant leak again, literally instant fix, before I was loosing 2lts every 5 minutes

Thanks for your replies. But yes I'm absolutely sure I'm using the correct tool. I've tried applying good torque but it just ended up slipping round so now I've a damaged head on the bolts they are all "mega tight" and to use something like a T40 on something that tight gives a very small surface area to try and turn them bolts, I literally used the star drives for each part to get to the part I'm actually trying to fix, I really don't understand why any designer would opt to use these bolt instead of standard type bolts which give a much great surface area for the pressure applied. I've now had to back out of the repair refit everything and now I'm going to try the steel seal type product very reluctantly. If that doesn't work its down the garage and it'll cost me a fortune. Very annoyed with Skoda.

I managed to get the radiator fan out etc , got to the part it's held in by 4 nuts I tried undoing them and no chance they very tight, star drive, I tried T40 on all 4 nuts and it's loose fitting in all 4 nuts, T45 is to big, it looks like it's a T41 ! Looked everywhere can't get one except in one place https://search.app/sBY8cVFJWpSniLcD7 But can't order from there it's only for Dubai etc, I've had the car from new this part has never been touched from factory so it's not because someone else has made them slack. Seems like most things on this car are star drive which I thick is bad designing, or if they must insist on using star drive use bigger ones , using a T40 for this part being so tight is just useless if it ever needs to come off. Very disappointed in Skoda for this kind of designing. Any ideas ?

Hi , ive a bad coolant leak. I checked the coolant a couple of days previous and it was fine like it always is no problems but then yesterday I was driving and had the temperature warning light appear. I pulled over and found all of the coolant in the in the tank had gone. The engine was barely warm as I'd just set off. I filled the tank and it all drained away in 5 minutes. I managed to get home using 10 litres of water and stopping every 5 minutes to fill the tank. I got the car on to ramps to check for leaks. It's leaking from the front of the engine central on the engine behind the oil filter from a gasket. I was wondering what is this thing that is situated behind the oil filter ? Secondly how do I remove the radiator fan , to gain access ? Any further advice on removing items to gain access to this part ?
