So we had *just* had our 60K done at the dealership about a week ago when my wife calls me and says that the coolant warning came on.
I took the car down and they took one look at it and said that the water pump was failing. I knew that my extended warranty ended at 60k but I figured since that the DMV withheld my tags for three months because of the whole emissions thing, then there was the whole Diesel thing.... I kinda figured it would have been a nice gesture to throw me a bone (or a water pump in this case...) but they told me to take a hike.
Now I know I'm out of warranty, and that's life but I also know that they fix things out of warranty all the time, it just sucks that they wouldn't do it for me.
Im really bummed because I love this car but more and more it's looking like my first VW is going to be my last VW.
That buyback is starting to look pretty sweet though.
