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.
