1.4 16v CGGB engine using coolant

Followers

Hi all.

My wifes 1.4 16v CGGB engine has used a bit of coolant, it's a cm below the MIN mark.

Oil is clean no mayo under the cap and the car runs fine no overheating.

I'm going to top up with G13 to the Max and keep an eye on it.

Is it a problem with these engines?

I'd check the radiator switch attached to the raditor, they are common for leaking.

Suspension upgrades for SEL Combi

Dalekracer · 42 minutes ago42 min

I am looking to improve the ride quality of my 2022 Octavia Combi SEL (2.0 TDI). I find the current set up to be harsh, particularly for rear passengers. Grateful for any thoughts or suggestions on potential options.

Mobility cars. Are they worth it

mobo · 15 September, 20187 yr

I currently got a 2008 octavia vrs but I've become a bit disabled over the years need my hip replaced ect Now I need an automatic and I can get a car on the mobility scheme. Has anyone got experience with this. I like the look of the new leons and noticed you can get them and they cover the insurance and everything. but would i be better off getting a used one and putting the money towards that instead

With UK pricing now confirmed, the new Škoda Peaq is shaping up to be one of the most interesting seven-seat EVs to hit the market. Starting from around £52,000, offering up to 395 miles of WLTP range, fast charging, a premium interior and genuine seven-seat practicality, it looks like Škoda has packed a lot into its new flagship. The big question is... Would you order one? If yes: Which trim would you go for? Rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive? What colour would you choose? It certainly

A/C Stops Cooling at Highway Speeds – Skoda Octavia 2016 1.2 TSI

Yrn11 · 27 May, 20251 yr

Hi everyone, I have a 2016 Skoda Octavia 1.2 TSI with Climatronic, and I'm encountering a frustrating A/C issue. Problem: After driving at highway speeds (90 km/h or higher) for a prolonged time, the A/C stops cooling. The air coming from the vents is the same flow volume but no longer cold, although the system appears to still be "on." However, when I drive in city traffic or idle in a traffic jam, the A/C works perfectly and cools the cabin as expected. What I’ve Checked: No fault codes in the

Windscreen washers not working in both front and end

ebay · 10 hours ago10 hr

Hi Folks, Both the front and rear window washers on my MK3 Fabia not working but window wipers do operate. Google it and go through the last posts but no clue. 1) No pump sound 2) My friend help to test the fuses no. 22, 27, 31 and 46, are all fine 3) At pump, the voltage around 11.x V but it will dropped to around 0.5v when turn on the wipers 4) The washer reservoir is full 5) The car battery replaced last summer with normal 12.6V Any idea please, Many thanks in advance
