As above, has anyone else had that code? I’m guessing it’s the thermostat, coolant level is fine... thanks 
Anyone else had the P00B7 Coolant Code - Cupra 280

Had the sensor changed under warranty. No probs sinceMy garage has only just had the chance to look at this, it is the thermostat, which is now apparently a complicated design including housing etc. Part alone is £200 plus and several hours to fit. Have VAG engineers gone insane? 
Slightly ridiculous on a fairly new car?
Slightly ridiculous on a fairly new car?Think the housing etc is all plastic so it warps with repeated heating/cooling, think I read somewhere it was a big thing on the golf's, and someone makes a metal one, no idea if it's cheaper, I'll see if I can find itMy garage has only just had the chance to look at this, it is the thermostat, which is now apparently a complicated design including housing etc. Part alone is £200 plus and several hours to fit.

The car is fixed, the water pump has been replaced too as it was starting to leak, I'm pretty surprised for what has been an otherwise brilliant car, but the water pump and thermostat combination are a shocking design (I imagine S3 owners are delighted too ), I'm surprised they last long at all. Anyway, that's £725 I won't see again. I have written to Seat to express my admiration for their brilliant design and longevity of the materials they used.
