Have 2.0 TDI dsg blue motion 2013 with 80k miles. The heating stopped working and coolant light came up on the dashboard. Took it to be looked at and there was a burning smell coming from the engine bay like melting plastic. They replaced the water pump and flushed the heater core several times. They reported small sand like deposits that were causing a block. Heating now works fine but I'm worried what caused this. Anyone come across this before or has any ideas as to the reason? Thanks
