Roger that, what is the best to buy??

An OEM one from a Skoda dealer every time.

I had this pop up the other day too.


I cleared it and it hasn't come back. I'll check what the sensor looks like.

I got mine from GSF was about £17

Sorted this today such a simple job, however don't do the man thing and ignore instructions ! Other wise you will learn all about hot coolant lol! Good job I have quick reflexes
