I have recently bought an A2 1.4 TDI SE from a private seller. The seller neglected to tell me that there was a problem with the car losing coolant at high speeds. I have taking it back 3 times to 2 different garages and neither can find any leaks. I have had the water pump & thermostat replaced and have so far spent £500, but the problem is still there. The engine has overheated twice. A 50 mile journey on the motorway and the coolant tank will be empty, however lots of short journeys around town and the loss is negligable. I am very worried that I am going to keep throwing money at this problem and not get it fixed, so am thinking of cutting my losses by attempting to get rid of this car (at a substantial loss I would imagine). Before I do this, would anyone have had experience of similar problems or have any suggestions as to what it might be?
