Diesel 2019 Skoda superb sportline DSG 50k miles.

Heading home from work and I had the air con on. About 7kiles into journey with low speed about 30-50mph. My air con starts blowing out warm air. I looked at my coolant gauge and it was in the red. No warning lights or anything came up.

I only had 1 mile home so just cruised it home. Left it about hour and turned the car on and temp is back down to 90.

Does anyone know what the issue may be?

Check silica bag condition in coolant tank, may be broken and silica balls went into cooling system. Water pump can be broken, thermostat can stuck..

50000 miles is about when the water pump siezes up. The shroud stops moving and thus no temperature control.

I turned the car on this morning and drove about 1 mile and no issues. Is this a big concern or am I safe to drive it to a mechanic to get sorted?

I don’t think that’s going to be long enough to get the car up to temp.

The cooling system is about managing the temp to stop it getting too hot; if it doesn’t get up to temp, no issue has presented itself. Try a longer drive getting the car up to temp and see what happens.

Right okay. Well it was running about 10 mins and the dial was in the middle. It does require an oil change as the oil message came up 2 weeks ago. It’s in for a service on Monday

I looked at the bag in the coolant tank and it’s still intact.
