my coolant keeps disappearing in my car, i dont see no leaks from anywhere, but my coolant temp sensor light keeps flashing on my dash, but my temp gauge doesnt show my car over heating, any idea where my coolent can be going? ---

if i were to bet on what it was without even looking, i would guess the electric waterpump has a hairline crack and is leaking small amounts of coolant ---

no he said it was leaking near the power steering the Water pump sits on top of the powersteering pump here your going to need this (although its for a MK4 the pump is in the same spot) [http://www.gruvenparts.com/website/diys/VR6%20Waterpump%20Replacement.htm](http://www.gruvenparts.com/website/diys/VR6%20Waterpump%20Replacement.htm) You will need to disconnect the motor mount in the back pasangerside corner ---

Which water pump? Mechanical or electrical? Sounds like your mechanical belt driven pump is leaking if you see coolant by the PS pump. ---

I love VW. Take mikes and jams advice, they have had their experiences with plenty of Vag products.
