I don't live within 30 miles of a VW dealer, so I have to rely on a local repair shop that caters to foreign cars. They were able to fix the problem the same day, but the charge is a hefty one at $1,365.02.

I plan to take the car into the VW dealer and lodge an official complaint and determine if I can get in on the class action lawsuit open against VW and Audi for failed water pumps and engine related failures on 2L 4 Cylinder VW's and Audi's.
