Hi Folks,
I have about 61k on my '15 GTI.
Back in November, I had my car serviced at the dealer (I know...but my Indy passed away and it was just an oil change)...and they said my water pump/t stat housing was leaking and wrote me up a $1000 estimate.
6 months and 2200 miles later and the coolant level looks fine.
I'm planning a trip from metro NY to Vermont in about a month...maybe 4+ hrs each way.
Do these things go gradually or do they just pop one day? I can bring water and coolant just in case, but don't want a catastrophic failure of course. The dealer could be full of crap...but not uncommon for these to go back around 60k it seems.
Thanks!!
