Thermostat needed replacement at about 65K miles; Service Mgr. said the Germans have outsmarted themselves as it is built into the water pump, making a $6 thermostat(they said I should replace pump also) and a $ 50 water pump into a $677 service bill!
However that was not near as bad as the news that my DSG transmission would no longer function at about 67K miles; finally was able to get VW to participate in the charge, and
for only $2700 I got a rebuilt one and an oil change! Hey-that is not all....Dealership ordered wrong unit from Wolfsburg- and car was laid up another week while they found correct mission in USA.....
Anyone out there have a similar experience with either the thermostat or the xmission?
