Been loosing a bit of water recently and I'm guessing this is why

Is it possible to tell the cause , fitting , pipe or metal clip ?

It's a 1.5 tsi octavia 3 69 plate

Just had a friend who knows a bit more than me look at it , apparentky i need a thermostat to matrix hose , is that the correct name ?

Found the part i need : 5Q0 121 156 C

Just struggling to find a new one in the U.K as I need it sooner rather than later

Skoda dealership parts counter?

Is the hose long enough to cut 1/2” off the end and re-seat it as a makeshift repair?

If not, could you cut it and add a section of copper/metal pipe on jubilee clips so you can get a clean inner section of the hose reseated? Again as a makeshift repair?

Is the hose straight (ish) and simple enough that a generic coolant hose of the same bore could be suitable?

But before any of that, if the hose isn’t damaged, have you tried releasing the clip, getting the hose moving, and then putting the clip back on, but rotated from its current location? Might provide an easy fix.

New one is only £48 from lllparts.

Cars done 108k , it's my livelihood as I'm a private hire driver, peace of mind

Got some pliers at have a go at giving it a wiggle to reseat as suggested, not a chance, ends of the clip i need to get in the pliers are on the blind side of the pipe with the other pipe in the way of getting the pliers in place
