Recently purchased a 99 Passat 1.9 Tdi sport. After two days I got a check coolant light, so looked and it was below the min. Topped it up with G12 and a couple of days later the warning is back and its back below the min level.
Looking through the stack of receipts that came with the car (should have read them more carefully when I bought it) I can see that on two occasions (Dec 2003 and June 2004) a dealer was asked to check for coolant leaks and on the first occasion it says no leak found but suggest it could be cylinder head leaking and on the second receipt (Jun 2004) it just says they checked and no leak found (Lindvale VW, Colchester).
I am going to have to take it in as obviously there is a leak, but I am just surprised that two main dealers were unable to locate the problem.
Any suggestions???
Cheers Carlos
