    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    7 months after getting my water pump replaced under the warranty and my low coolant light came on today. I had checked it a month or so ago when I did an oil change and it was full... anyone else had a similar issue? I need to call the dealer tomorrow but hopefully the new pump came with some...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    That's crazy, I'm tuned as well and had my water pump + thermostat replaced recently. I wonder what would happen if you just don't go? Seems like it'd be on them to run the scan prior to doing the work.

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    That's awful, I'd consider trying a new dealer if there is another one close by. Update on my issue - the 2nd dealer ended up replacing the thermostat housing and water pump under warranty! Crazy how one dealer said I'm not covered under the warranty (due to tune) and the next had no issue...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    Yup the person from corporate seemed pretty incompetent tbh and basically just said to refer to what the dealer said... it's been a circus and definitely gives me a bad impression on VW but hopefully I can get it covered under warranty if it is the water pump or thermostat (which im assuming...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    True, corporate stated anything that is not affected by the tune should be covered, but they didn't confirm that the water pump would be covered. I called another dealer and they said it should be covered even though its tuned. I'm going to take it there tomorrow 🤞

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    Thanks for the reply, I might have to call corporate then? I didn't end up dropping my car off since I'd rather take it to my local shop if its not covered under the warranty Update: I called corporate and they said it won't be covered under the warranty since it's modified and they would rely...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    FYI if you're tuned and thinking of getting water pump / thermostat replaced under the warranty - apparently VW will deny the warranty claim. I just went to my VW dealer (Smith VW in DE) and was going to drop my mk7 off for the coolant leak, assuming I'd be under the warranty if it was the water...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    Thanks, that's what I kinda assumed. I haven't taken it in for the slow leak, that was a separate clunk issue (ended up being rear sway bar end links) where the dealer couldn't find the issue. I took it to an independent shop and they figured it out pretty quick... I think I will continue to...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    Anyone know if a very slow coolant leak ends up being the thermostat housing will the dealer charge for checking it out? Or the extended warranty includes the dealer checking the car? I've had issues before where they couldn't find the problem and ended up charging me ~$200... I have a very...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    Looks like the final approval hearing date was pushed back to October 19 unfortunately... https://waterpumpsettlement.com/Important-Dates Interestingly only certain VW models got an extended claim filing deadline of October - the Beatle, Eos, GTI and Tiguan. I wonder why they would include the...

    Class action lawsuit letter (Waterpump)

    I noticed my 2017 mk7 with 49k miles started having a very slow coolant leak a couple months ago. I've had to fill my coolant every month or so to keep it above the min line. I also got this letter in the mail, but it sounds like it'd be best to wait until after the lawsuit is over to bring my...

    How to disable rear parking sensors (ParkPilot)?

    Will do, thanks for the reply! edit - I unplugged it, just so others know it also disables the blind spot monitor. No more beeping though :) really nice if you have a bike rack on a lot.

    How to disable rear parking sensors (ParkPilot)?

    Thanks, so the rear must be the grey clasp one then? For some reason there's a zip tie on it if you look on the right side in my picture, really odd.

    How to disable rear parking sensors (ParkPilot)?

    Hey man, I have the same issue with the beeping whenever I go into reverse with my bike rack on. I looked behind the brake pedal today for something to unplug, saw this: I unplugged the pink one, thinking maybe you meant to unplug it when you mentioned purple but turns out its for the front...
