jetta 6 1.2 TSI dropping coolant

[zwayi081]

Hi, guys, my car is losing coolant by inch almost every day, every morning I have to top up my coolant. I have taken the car to car service workshop here in durban and they couldn't found the leak. they suggested that I must put in stop leak in the mean time. i have also went to vw to enquire about this and they told me that they need to stipe the car engine to find the leak. so i'm wondering how much this going to cost me and what are the problems or implecation of dropping coolant in long run. anyone knows what is problem with my coolant systems?, my car is 127000 Km.

Don't put in stop leak.
Also, VW talk ***.
You do need to get it fixed. Take it to an independant and ask them to do an exhaust gas test on the coolant. Also, look at the underside of the oil filler cap and describe what you see.

It will either be a leak or gasket failure. Have a look if the car has been parked for a while to see where it comes from. Does the car struggle to start and produce white smoke?

Sometimes the leak just drop onto the hot engine and evaporates it's only after long trips when the engine gets very hot where you can park the car and see a drop on the floor. My water pump had such a leak, very hard to pinpoint but when underneath the car you can actually see the whitish coolant traces.

You will surely notice it if it is gasket. +1 for above advises given.

The ECM will needed to be coded to the car and transponder in the key. Most electronic components in cars these days needs to be coded otherwise they fail to work.

Back to the topic - coolant leak can also be the plastic reservoir that may have a crack or two, which will allow coolant to leak out without any traces.
