Volkswagen Repair: 2001 jetta vr6, jetta vr6, vw diesels


Question
i have had the water pump replaced along with all of the other coolant parts when i drive and park i have a strong odor(antifreeze smell) comming from the car and every 2mo i have to add a cup of coolant???

Answer
Scott,
  I am unfamiliar with your vehicle.  However, if you are smelling the coolant inside the vehicle, it could be a leaking heater core.  I have found several  over the years in the VW diesels.  If this is the case, your problem will exacerbate with the use of the heater....  Hope this helps.  Jerry
