Losing coolant.

Look into lemon law. If the same issue isn't resolved 3 times it qualifies as a lemon no?

Lemon laws vary from state to state. I know PAs are pretty terrible. Car has to be less than a year old I believe and under 12K miles or something. You also have to be the first owner.

Edit: Within one year of ownership and under 12K miles, so you don't have to be the first owner.

I understand you guys are sick of replacing pumps, but to lemon the car because of what is probably a bad install by an amateur tech is stupid. Do you know what is actually failng? Is it a gasket or a crack? The pump or the block?
My pump looked fine at 105k, just needed a thermostat. Your powertrain warranty should cover it to 60k and they should warranty the work another 1yr/12k after that.

So all the techs working at the VW dealerships are amateurs that can't replace a water pump correctly?

I tried but she is acting like it's the end of the world.



So the 2012 GTI don't have the latest water pump installed? There has been revisions for 2013 models?

From what I have been told powertrain warranty will not cover it. Really not sure what you are saying about an amateur tech... Two different dealerships going onto a third pump. So all the techs working at the VW dealerships are amateurs that can't replace a water pump correctly?
