Dec 2016 had my heater core replaced for free. My car had 71k miles.
Jun 2017 took it in for coolant smell. Pressure test revealed nothing. 81k miles.
Nov 2017 coolant leak. Cracked lip inside oil filter housing allowing coolant to seep out. I spent $1,200 on repair. Pics showed coolant system looked 'gunked up'. 91k miles.
Jul 2018 just had P2457 code pop up yesterday. Probable heater core again. 104k on vehicle now, so only 33k on this heater core. Back to dealer in the morning. I am quite concerned that every aluminum part that coolant contacts is being clogged/eaten up from the inside out.
Anyone have anything similar happening?
I will follow up once dealer gets back with me on the current problem. I also have started a complaint with VWofA about the coolant system problems with my car. They say they will follow up with me on Monday 7/9/2018. I'll post that here too.
