As the title says, this is not a goodbye as we still have the Octavia VRS, have just added another addition. Have stuck with the VA Group. So will be flitting between forums, thanks 😁

Droped the wagon off last night, received a call at lunch time, thermostat housing and water pump replaced, coolant topped up, so should all be good now. The faulty part was leaking through a hole on the body. Possibly a breather of some sort ? Back to happy motoring
-
Let's hope so
-
Underneath the inlet manifold. Could see the leak out of the pump/housing pretty clearly
-
Just under £500 for both parts (thermostat housing and water pump) and fitting
-
Oh yes ! !

Low coolant message appeared in cluster last night. Had a look, and yes it was down. Couldn't see anything from topside. Had a bit of a scrabble on the drive and could see coolant on the lower deflector. Topped it up to maximum. Took it to a VW specialist this morning . . . . Yep, it's the water pump/thermostat housing . . . Bu99er ! !

VRS tdi Gemini alloy wheels damage

My other half scuffed an anthracite alloy, was quoted £150 to repair, she caught the diamond cut and the anthracite. I managed to get a new alloy (through a friend at a bodyshop) for £280. I now have a full size, slightly damaged spare ! -
Anyone had VRS track rod end problems.

Possibly needs turning back ? / Centralising ? (Turning the passenger's clockwise (as you look from the nearside)) -
Mines an auto, can say for manual ones !

It's in Eco mode, just need to press the mode/VRS button and cycle through the modes
