Why is my check coolant alarm on?

The check coolant alarm in my Skoda Roomster is coming on almost every time I start my car - ever since I got it serviced and had the timing belt and water pump replaced. The coolant tank is full, even when I check it from stone cold. What would this be caused by?

Hi Louise,

I suspect that the sensor that reports a fault to your car's computer has been disturbed or possibly even not plugged back in after the work was done on the car. However, you really need to get the car back to the garage that did the work as soon as possible to have it checked over and rectified. It is their responsibility to make sure it's all ok.

Let us know how you get on
