Pretty sure it’s the supercharger, it’s a common issue, the water pump is driven off the super charger by a set of gears and they fail.
If it’s not the supercharger it probably means find a used complete engine.

Edds workshop diaries, excellent!
It’s looking like the photos of the Lego Land rover build
Have you got access to an impact driver? Even a normal driver on masonry setting with the clutch set to slip at high torque?
Yeah, middle of Lidl special.
Is it back together yet?
No because it’s not the super charger, need to pull the engine probably.
Arse, set fire to it.
Edit: I’ve got a hoist if you need one.
Don’t you think that might be rather painful?
I like the way it does not stop, usually they light them then hop around a bit.
With our Passat estate showing signs of age, picked up a replacement yesterday. Octavia vRS.
Seems tidy, goes well & not stupidly spendy. I think the engine’s much as was used in the MkV Golf GTi so it seems reasonably quick for a 2L estate.
@Tons_of_fun that’s the one I was on about.
Guy at work years ago managed to get the saloon as a company car and it went like shit off a shiny shovel.
Really nice cars. Dead practical too.
Is it the diesel ? I had the series 1 1.8t petrol. Cracking car.
No it’s the 2L petrol. The Passat is the 2.5 V6 TDi so when I get the chance to see properly it’ll be interesting to compare. The Skoda does feel more nimble.
Think the vRS is a 2.0 Turbo engine
May be slightly more nimble and pokey than a 2.5 Tdi (obvs not Astra levels)
Yes it has 40 bhp more than the TDi & is supposedly 2.5 secs quicker to 60. I haven’t tested any of that yet mind! Does feel eager though.
Is 0 - 60 even a thing these days, with so so electric cars doing it sub 6: seconds and premium 4’ish seconds ?
This is a thread about cut price sheds not expensive milk floats!
