Could be Cylinder Head Gasket ???

Hmmm, if you had only done short journeys then I would expect it, but if you are dong motorway miles then it is getting hot enough to dispel any water

im doing 330 miles in one go sitting at 75 with cc on from darlo to kent and just from darlo to sunderland royal same again 75 with cc ?

can skoda do a test or something to check it

Seems to be a common complaint and normally nothing to worry about. But as Bluevrs2 said, it normally clears itself on long runs so it may be worth getting it checked. It's probably nothing, but best to have peace of mind.

emulsified oil, iv had this on a few of my cars due to them not going out for a good run. If it fails to disappear then change the oil but using engine flush will clean it out better. If it was the head gasket then its likely there would be oil in coolant.

This is common on the tfsi,mine has done this on & off for the last 20k,id keep a eye on it but i suspect its nothing to worry about!

mine is the same too,also burns a very slight bit of oil(top up every 3-4 months)

U shouldn't be putting food in ur engine although ketchup would be worse.
