Skoda Kodiaq Pricing and Specs

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.

Australian customers currently have a choice of two petrol-powered Skoda Kodiaq models, both featuring 4x4 drive systems using electronic diff lock options for off-roading or low-grip situations. 

The Skoda Kodiaq towing capacity is officially listed as 2000kg of braked trailer and 750kg of unbraked trailer.
