Consumer Description

Car was purchased in August 2021. In August 2022 it was taken in for service at Onion Creek VW in Austin for multiple occurrences of alerts for low coolant level. The dealership topped off the coolant reservoir and said there are no visible leaks and refused to further diagnose. Then in June 2025 with 22,000+ miles the same occurred again. Took it to Vanguard VW in Austin and they diagnosed a bad head gasket.
