Might just be wheels spinning and not being able to grip in wet. Could also be water getting in to sensor

HelloI have had my Skoda Scala about 7 months and filled about with the view at the dashboard for the driver in front of the steering wheel and can't seem to get the true mileage back on I can get the trip milometer on miles-per-gallon everything else but I just can't find the total mileage so looking for someone who can help me get that back on an advise whether the engine needs to be running or off many thanks

Isn’t that in the hand book ?

Click on the Scala and put in year etc or put your VIN number in.

I have a couple of minor but annoying issues with my 13 plate Astra and am looking for some advice. I keep getting a warning that the coolant level is low ( it's checked regularly and never needs topping up ). The other issue is that the temperature display shows between 28-30 degrees even though it's more like 3-4 degrees.

Sounds like defective sender units on both items

If the expansion tank is between max and min then there could be a fault with the level sensor, If my memory serves well. Some Astras did also need a sensor and expansion tank for this fault, but not sure on the era of this, maybe 2009/10? could be later. Also the the temperature gauge would not show 3 to 4 degrees, it would kick in at 30 degrees maybe. What temperature does it run at when it is up to temperature? Vauxhall's usually run at about 90 degrees when fully warmed up.
