At the dealership getting the car looked at for the low coolant warning.
I'm expecting the estimate to be insane so I'll shop around for a better price at an indie. I only brought it to the dealer to see if VW will offer any goodwill based on the fact it's a common failure (they revised the part). Unlikely but...
Anyway, a woman just walked in with a low coolant warning on her Tiguan.... You do you VW ...
If still there, ask if there is an extended warranty for the wp and/or t-stat in Canada. It looks like there is one in the US based on online info I found. It seems like the issue goes back to MK6.... class action in US, recall, extended warranty, etc...
Probably not, but worth asking....
I had my coolant flush done few months back but they didn't say anything about recall/extended warranty, but didn't ask either (was not aware at the time). I know the Service Manager at my local WV dealer so will ask him next time.... which could be soon as I may go pick up a bottle of coolant to keep in the garage.
Just checked the level on mine this morning and it's OK so finger crossed. Pretty hard to check for signs of leaks from the top though. May need to wait until spring to go under the car...
Did a scan last night for codes and nothing. Took the car for a drive and monitored live coolant temp... no signs of issues so far.
