Cabrio 4-cyl

  • Automatic transmission
  • miles
With less than 75000 miles, my vehicle has had three defective water pumps replacements. The service man at VW have commented that this appears to be a bad design and warranted the part. However, this does not provide me with any long term solution. I have logged a trouble ticket with VW America requesting that they provide a resolution or extend the warrantee beyond 100000 miles.
