| Description of the problem | Coolant pump went out jan 25 2015. I had purchased car used from a non vw dealer but took to it to a vw dealer to repair. They replaced for $750. 00. I researched further on carfax and found the pump had been replaced already by another vw dealership within the previous 12 months. I contacted vw and had to fight with them to cover my repair when it should have been part of the warranty with previous repair. They did refund my money. It is now 2 months later, 3/25/2015 and i am again experiencing a coolant leak. |
