Water Pump on 1.4 TSI

Followers

Hi,

I'm looking for some advice on an Octavia I'm hoping to buy this weekend. I've got the dealer to agree on changing the timing belt as the car has just turned 5 year old. When I had a MKII diesel Octavia the water pump was changed at the same time as the belt.

The dealer says this does not apply to the 1.4 TSI, is this right? Has Skoda given any guidance when it needs checking/replacing?

Many thanks,

Ian

The timing belt on the 1.4 tsi doesn’t drive the water pump.

The water pump is at the opposite end of the engine, driven by its own small toothed belt off one of the camshafts.

Infotainment system switches itself on

petersu · 20 May, 20242 yr

Hi, It happened twice now that I walked past my parked and locked Mk IV Octavia and I noticed that the infotainment system was on and the radio playing. Anyone had this before? Both times it was on a sunny day, so quite warm inside the car. Is there any way so that the infotainment system can only be switched on with a key present? Car is from Sep 2020 with 1941 software version. Thanks, Peter

Skoda Octavia Mk 3 2.0 TDI 150, 2016, Mileage: 270 K km. My Skoda has been making some strange shakings since February. Around the time the engine heat hits 90 degrees, which is normal running temperature, the car shakes harshly, sometimes smoothly, sometimes just once, sometimes 2 or 3, or more, with irregular laps in the following 1 or 2 minutes. During these shakes, the rpm responds and it goes up and down, as I try to speed up to compensate it. After this, the car runs smoothly despite its m

Hi everyone. First off, apologies if this has already been covered. I did take a look but couldn't find anything specific. For history, it's a 13 plate TDI vrs Octavia (MK2) was rattling like a good un' so replaced clutch and flywheel (and slave cylinder) did do a SMFW conversion too. Turns out, that WAS a problem, but the gearbox is also shot, so that's on my list to replace next. Started and drove home fine that night. Next day, I drove it to work (about 20 minutes) no problems. On my way

Jim Reire · 25 May25 May

Hi all, Skoda Kodiak 4x4 AWD, and Skoda Kodiak front wheel drive....what codes or description spec's etc. differentiate between them ? My problem is that while my newest purchase of a 2020 Skoda Kodiak , 150 HP and Front wheel drive, is a delight in every way, my car insurance has gone through the roof, and when I queried it, I was informed that one of then reasons for the increase (more than.€200) is that its a 4x4 AWD. The problem is, there is only front wheel drive, and the rear wheels are f
