Warranty coverage on coolant system. Your experiences?

Today my low coolant light came on with a loud beep and red flashing lights. Turns out the coolant reservoir was almost dry. I topped it off so I could get to work, but I seriously doubt that it will just go away. I've been through a water pump replacement before and it was a painless process, but I was also under the 36k B2B warranty.

What is everyone's experience dealing with the 5/60 powertrain warranty?
Will it cover water pumps?
Will it cover cracked radiators?
Head gaskets?

If this warranty doesn't cover what's wrong I am dumping the car next week. Everything VW has fixed has just broken again. Sunroof, clutch system, and now coolant system.

I had mine replaced under powertrain warranty, at 42k miles. No question asked by the dealer.

Good luck!

Water pump I'm assuming? That's reassuring.

when i was getting my clutch installed i was inquiring about the price to install a water pump and they looked up my vin number to see if my car fell under the water pump recall. i didnt but its good that they thought to check. they quoted me $1000 to install waterpump including parts. i bought a water pump kit from ecstuning for when i need it. im 60k miles on original pump.
