Long term ownership update, recent noises and resolution (includes thanks to Skoda garage)

Hi all, just an update on my Roomster which is now 6.5 years old from new (2015 deal) and 82000miles on the clock and counting. Mostly driving in and around London's smooth glorious roads (not private hire, lol just saying)

Very recently the car developed 2 worrying noises.

First noise is from when starting the car to driving, whenever it gets to around 1200-2000rpm, it develops a growling noise coming from the engine. No matter what gear is on.

Second noise is when driving in London's lovely and smooth cobble roads, there is a clunking noise coming from the passenger side.

First noise I thought is from the clutch or flywheel (still same set from when the car was new). Second noise I thought is loose heat shield.

Took it into Norton way Skoda in Wandsworth, they had the car for 3 days and found out that it was in fact a failing water pump (first noise) and a spring hitting the brake caliper (second noise).

All is fixed today and the car sounds new. So quiet and pleasent to my ears finally. 

Would like to thank Norton Way Skoda for finding the problems in a relatively good time frame. Good manners and explanation from the staff there.

I hope this helps other Roomster or Skoda owners on trouble shooting noises if you have any similar like mine.

Cost was around £550 total for the job.

Stay safe everyone!
