Yeah its called:
Customer: “My car is over heating”
Shop: “is it a 1.8t?”
Customer: “Yeha, howed you know???”
Shop: “Becasue I recalled a similar problem with a 1.8t last week… It is the water pump. It will cost you $700”
Customer: “kthxbia”
no recal, warranty will cover it… if you have one.
The thing that is gay about it, is what parts are involved. Water pump, idler pully, t-belt, t-stat… landry list of shit.
Befor you buy a 1.8T ask for records and see if the water pump and t-belt were replaced.
