Hello I was looking at a Skoda Roomster 1 and the Fabia 1 and i noticed that they dont have any temperature gauges unlike the top of the line models. is it possible to find the temperature of the water coolant if it is running? i know that there is a warning if the temp goes too high but if there is a fault with the cooling and the temp goes above 90C but doesnt overheat then i wouldnt have anyway of finding out would i? anybody have any solutions? regards

The Roomy Scout or the 3 don't have temp gauges either. It might be a feature f Maxidot but I can't be sure about that

Having owned 3 pd engined cars and done over 200,000 miles in those three cars and I have never had any temparature related issues in them so I doubt it would be a worry.

I noticed the lact of temp guage when doing a test drive. Just ordered my Roomster 3 with Maxidot, that does have it.

I was wrong.

This is the dash in my scout;

Decron, I assume you ordered the maxidot too, it is not standard fit ?

Hi

Low-entry models have only warning light which will light up if the temperature is too high or the coolant level too low. Simultaneously buzzer in dashboard should make 3 short sounds.

Thats the info from owner's handbook.
