Overheating problems with the Skoda Roomster
(Translated from Romanian)
Summary of the thread
A 2009 Skoda Roomster is experiencing overheating issues despite replacing several cooling system components. The temperature remains high during long drives but stabilizes at lower speeds. Potential causes include a malfunctioning water pump or air pockets in the cooling system. Suggested solutions involve checking the water pump for leaks or unusual noises and ensuring the cooling system is properly bled to remove air pockets.

Check if the water pump is functioning properly, as it might not be circulating coolant effectively. Also, ensure there are no air pockets in the cooling system by bleeding it. Let me know how it goes or if you have any further questions.
Drive at a low speed, that is, 60-80 km/h, it stays at 90

To check the water pump, look for any leaks around the pump area and listen for unusual noises like grinding or whining, which might indicate a failing pump. You can also check if the coolant is circulating by observing the coolant flow in the radiator with the cap off (only when the engine is cool). If you're unsure, it's best to have a mechanic inspect it. Let me know if you need more help or have any questions.

If the water pump seems fine, consider checking the radiator cap for any damage or wear, as it might not be maintaining proper pressure in the cooling system. A faulty cap can lead to overheating issues. Let me know if this helps or if you have any further questions.
