Three problems related to coolant leaking have been reported for the 2017 Volkswagen GTI. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Thermostat housing leak causes coolant leak and low coolant warnings. Was operating the vehicle under normal conditions when low coolant warning illuminated.
The thermostat housing on the engine developed a significant leak, allowing coolant to drip on the roadway and also endangering the car's engine from overheating and possible power loss. This could of course cause a slippery road surface and could also result in the car losing power on the street creating a hazard.
Noticed burning coolant smell coming from the engine compartment after the vehicle reached operating temperature and the car was stopped. Could hear a sizzling noise with the engine off and the hood open. The coolant level was at the minimum line. The dealer diagnosed a leaking thermostat housing. Dealership replaced the part under warranty. The repair was performed at 34,655 miles.
