In oct 2000 my car overheated, I reported this to vw and they made some adjustments, I also reported a noise from the left front like a whining noise, this was attributed to a failure in the transmission, vw did repairs to ring and pinion gears and differential bearings, noise subsided for a few weeks. The warning: check coolant light came on again several months later, reported problem to vw and I was instructed to add water to raise coolant level. In sept. 2001, I reported air conditioning failure, vw determined cooling system had problem, replaced coolant fan and secondary water pump, I also reported return of whining noise. Car has now been at vw in glendale, CA since 10/2/2001, dealer has replaced left front axel and drive shaft, still whining, replaced transmission.
