ER-3682 Twincharged November 20, 2012 Author Share November 20, 2012 Wahliao got warning message already wtf the service rep bullcrapping about? He trying to say VW's sensors/ecu beh kan issit? Escalate the issue to service manager and demand in writing that it's normal, plus keep record of when and where visits and conversations have taken place in case need to resort to legal means/lemon law. If necessary email issue to VW Germany directly with the written evidence for clarification. Most important is get everything down in writing, even if they do a "check" and say everything is ok, still make sure it's in writing. Do it step by step...he is now taking the case with the Service Manager. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ER-3682 Twincharged November 20, 2012 Author Share November 20, 2012 The loss looks like maybe via the pressure cap which I understand is mounted on the evaporator plastic tank ( correct me ). Best is to check the cap pre-set pressure - for most european cars the setting is 1 kg/cm2. Comfirmed pressure cap no problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grix17 Clutched November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 Not to blast Ford or Regent Motors, but my Galaxy had a leaking coolant hose. By the time I found out, it was 20% full only. Luckily I did find out, and got towed to RM and fixed on the SAME day. Kudos to them. But it doesn't drink coolant. Maybe some might evaporate but not so bad. Maybe the Sharan has a leaky problem.

Kwanheng 1st Gear November 21, 2012 Share November 21, 2012 ask the sa, so where did the water when to? or ask the SA, so VW car comes with HHO huh? water as fuel? coolent is a close circuit thing. either via head gasket, turbo or piping leak. try this, rev your car in carpark when you reach home carpark for 1 minute see if your exhaust tip got water a not. if got, this is not right cause your not using HHO.

Your statement is not correct. When engines are well tuned ( meaning very good combustion ) will find droplets of water at the exhaust. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
