MKIII stock performance - solution to silly problem

That is odd we have had almost identical circumstances. Although I am still driving her around the general area. She sat for the last 3 days and went from cold/max level to cold/min level. I have started the second bottle of lucas stop leak, but I know the inevitable.

Unfortunately, i do not have the means to do the work myself, so I am at mechanic mercy. I'm okay paying 800 for a new installed rack, but when they started talking pump and everything else for a 1900.

Taking her back to Meinkle where I had a rack replacement quote for 650, although he did not visually inspect. If they start talking pump and all when they see it, I guess I am screwed.

Like I mentioned, I personally see only the leak from the one boot area. I think them telling me the hoses and pump is leaking is a hustle.

Good luck with the coolant leak. I hope our situations do not become identical there. But that is pretty damn funny about the floor mat. I couldn't believe it.
