The 2018 Skoda Kodiaq range of configurations is currently priced from $9,990.
Carsguide Contributing Journalist David Morley had this to say at the time: The Kodiaq offers something a lot of family SUVs never manage, and that’s a dash of flair and even sportiness to the driving experience. Not that it’s particularly fast or dynamic, but it does a better job than some in turning a drive from a chore to an event.

Modern cars like the Skoda have sealed cooling systems which means they shouldn’t need regular top-ups. As the engine heats up and the coolant expands, any excess coolant is captured by an overflow tank which stores the coolant and then allows it to be sucked back into the engine’s cooling system as the car cools down. This is all perfectly normal. All of which means that if you have coolant disappearing, then there’s a leak somewhere, but don’t necessarily jump to the conclusion that the radiator is at fault.
The problem could be one of many things, including a failed radiator hose or some other piece of critical plumbing, a faulty water pump, cracked cylinder head, blown head gasket, broken overflow tank, failed radiator cap, split cylinder bore, leaking heater matrix and more. The dealership should be able to tackle this as a warranty job and will probably pressurise the cooling system and see where, if anywhere, coolant starts to appear where it shouldn’t.
