I have a 2014 VW Passat, on Thursday the vehicle stopped, overheating. VW dealer collected the vehicle, now I am told the coolant container is full of debri, unable to clean out and if they have to flush the system it will costs over $10,000/. My vehicle has only been serviced by the same VW dealer since purchase and the vehicle has 140,000 miles so the advice is to get a new vehicle as they have never seen this problem. The Thermostat has been changed, but still overheating and the coolant is drained and continues to be full of debri Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the coolant? Have you checked for a leak in the cooling system? Yes they have checked for leaks and none found, thermostat also changes and keeps blowing out Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Passat yourself? What have you tried so far? No the vehicle always goes to a VW dealer in Charlotte NC, always serviced when it is due and never a problem until now Mechanic's Assistant: Anything else you want the Mechanic to know before I connect you? Well I am told that the super technician has seen the car, no one knows the problem and never seen this before so best option is to buy a new car.
