Consumer Description
THE VEHICLE HEATED UP DUE TO A FAULT IN VW'S PASSAT COOLING SYSTEM AND SMOKE STARTED TO COME OUT FROM ENGINE. I WAS DRIVING AT AROUND 25 MILES / KM ONLY. I TOWED THE CAR TO MECHANIC AND HAD TO DO A COSTLY REPAIR FOR WATER PUMP, TIMING BELT, ETC. I SEE THERE IS AN OPEN RECALL FOR THIS KIND OF ISSUE IN WATER PUMP IN PASSATS, SO I TRULY BELIEVE THE WATER PUMP WAS FAULTY FROM MANUFACTURER SIDE. I WOULD LIKE TO BE REPAID FOR THE MONEY I HAVE ALREADY SPENT ON THIS. *TR
