Yes, and contributed to it. But no one had been able to put up part numbers for the water pump for those unfortunate enough to have the water pump failure out of warranty, and facing a big bill from Skoda retailer to put right.

 

Skoda UK have done their usual, see no evil, hear no evil and speak no evil. My daughter cannot be having the car off road for weeks while a dispute rages on, so the part numbers are to ensure any attempt to remedy away from main retailer are at least attempted using correct parts.

 

For background, briefly, daughters car did have the service action carried out by Lookers Skoda in Newcastle 8 weeks or so before she purchased the car, blissfully unaware that this issue even existed. The coolant was changed, nothing else, on 8th December 2017. 

 

With the car being first registered February 2016, the warranty had expired by something like 9 weeks when the water pump issue raised its ugly head, For Skoda UK, whether 9 weeks or 9 years, the car is out of warranty.

 

 

Now if these “champions of the motorist” the RAC and the AA were still what they were set up to be, and not now just a run of the mill “breakdown service supplier”, or even in most cases a potential house insurance supplier, then anyone who had bothered to join them could just collectively feedback their VW Group problems to them to try to sort out? 

 

So in UK at least all we can do is give Watchdog our bones to chew on - and probably fail to click onto the real issues we have, so VW Group are free to do as they like.

This didn't used to be the case. Skoda goodwill used to be very good with some very good contributions to out of warranty issues. I think things have changed from when I left the dealer network, it used to be  that if you have a full dealer history there was a very good chance it would be covered, especially if a known issue.

 

However with more and more people looking for the cheaper option when servicing or purchasing cars, less money in general coming in then something has to give in order to stay afloat I guess.

I think that the real issue in this case is, owner needs that car running ASAP, and 9 out of 10 times with outside warranty issues that might or might not attract some help from VW Group, there will be a time delay, I’m sure that the OP knows that VW Group have no where to hide in this specific case, but his daughter just does not have have the luxury of that time. Most people only own/run cars because they feel they need to, so in general have no backup plan when things go wrong. I keep pressing this point with my older daughter, ie “do you know how to get to work if your car is not available” - and I feel that she has worked this out. A real pain in the bum for those that haven’t/can’t.

 

Even when inside warranty I’ve never ever had issues with spending my own money keeping my wife’s cars moving if that made life easier for her while being a working mum/wife. Not much point in needing her to drive my cars!

Hi Techie, many thanks for your help. Our local mechanic is going to fit the part but I was maybe going to order it in, Trouble is I don't know for sure which one is the correct one, can you help?

 

Which if any of these would be correct for job? I'm wondering if more expensive one is more of an upgrade to same part rather than direct replacement like for like?

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/vaico/13847481

 

https://www.autodoc.co.uk/hepu/11824659

 

There is clearly a big difference in prices, autodoc are selling the water pump and timing belt replacement kit for around £250 while Skoda dealer is quoting £450 for the water pump part alone, plus fitting and vat. Plus cost of timing belt and accessories.

 

Any help is very much appreciated.

First one is brand new, second is an remanufactured exchange unit (as per description).

Thank you, do you know if it must be the one with integrated disabling contact, integrated regulator and seal or would the other one do the trick?

 

I'm cautious as to purchasing wrong part. Thanks again.

Strange, when I look up the part numbers in Tech1e's screenshot on allcarpartsfast, genuine parts are considerably cheaper than that:

Buying genuine seems the way to go.

Thanks, my trouble is working out which of the two is correct, the one ending in D or the one ending in DX. I'm currently conversing online with autodoc and they are recommending 2 HEPU water pumps, one at £38 and the other at £186. The 186 one comes with integrated disabling contact and integrated distributor and seal, the other doesnt.

 

If I knew for sure which of the two you have linked was the correct one I would order it and be done. 

 

Thanks for your help, greatly appreciated.

 

It's for my daughters car, she's going through a right tough time and I'm trying to remove one pressure from her.

They are exactly the same thing, just that the DX one requires you to supply the old one back to the dealer for a rebate.

Just did. Exchange part no longer available, £88.49 inc VAT for a brand new genuine pump

Elephant in VW's living / boardroom is.

 

1.4TDI 3 Cylinder Euro 6 engine All New 3rd Generation Fabia Water pumps were failing from the launch and on,

they blamed the coolant eventually, some get a coolant change, some get new water pumps, 

some have new water pumps fail.

Some have to pay for water pumps even when they reported the issues when the car was in Warranty.

 

What you want is the revised water pump, the coolant and no bill because VW knew right from 2014/15 that they coc-ked up yet again.

Will a straightforward email to that address be sufficient or will I need to be a Freedom member?

You can just email direct, better to call though as they are very busy. 

Straightforward email will be fine. Include reg number or VIN, plus what you need. Or as above, phone. 

I can't find the number just now, but I expect someone else may.
