My Jetta has 55000 miles on it. Back in june my warning light came on coolant low. I topped it off with coolant from WalMart 50/50 rated for any car. Since then I might go 800 miles and it will go off. The next time I might go 500. Recently it has gone off at 250. I have added almost a gallon over about 10000 miles of use. I have checked the oil and of course have changed it and found no coolant in it, nor is there oil in the coolant. I have gone all over and under the car and can find no loss of coolant. I took it to a mechanic he found nothing and said to take it to dealer which is 100 miles away. Another mechanic said dont worry if it has a leak it will show sooner or later. I called the dealer and the service manager said if it wasnt getting hot, it runs fine and there was no evident leaks that it couldn,t be a headgasket problem. He said he would pressure test it but that if that wasnt the problem that I would have to pay for it myself. I am about to loose it worrying about this as I just started a new job that requires commuting and cant afford donwn time on the car. Any suggestions will be appreciated.
