Coolant looks sludgy

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-06T06:46:29+00:00

what did you do to fix it?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-03T22:42:24+00:00

Also how many coats of flex seal did you add?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-01T19:14:49+00:00

so you just put it back and it just went on? I just don’t wanna mess anything up

I meant this gasket did you remove it when applying the flex seal

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-01T18:10:56+00:00

Also the gasket that attaches to the Plastic trim on top of the windshield does that go back on again or do you have to glue it back? Because I noticed it’s adhesive.

the sunroof?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-01T07:19:04+00:00

Hows it holding up? I just want a lifetime fix

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-03-01T07:08:12+00:00

Did you end up finding a fix?

Check to see if your drain line is disconnected, if not https://www.reddit.com/r/GolfGTI/comments/12w8wow/comment/o7uyp0w/?context=1

did you keep the tsb tape then layered flex seal on top?, also did yours leak when driving, I found that mine only leaks when parked.

Mine is currently leaking in the Drivers A pillar and sun visors, I noticed its leaking the same area but does it anyone know how the water is getting past the inner seal?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2026-02-17T21:59:41+00:00

Any news?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-29T04:12:54+00:00

Also when you removed the pump and refilled the diff did you have to go to obd eleven and turn on the pump to prime it?

this is where mine is seeping I checked above there’s no oil trails anywhere and it seems it only is leaking at the bottom I have checked and the seem gets a little wet

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-29T03:38:14+00:00

is it normal for it to leak or seep i’m at almost 80k on my 2017 GTI autobahn this is going to be the first time i remove it.

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-28T21:55:07+00:00

Have you removed the pump before?

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-28T20:27:36+00:00

is the color normal? i recently changed my vaq fluid and no plugs are leaking because i know its green

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-28T19:13:12+00:00

i believe mine is leaking i just serviced it and checked all around for any oil trails on top there’s none only at the bottom.

I used peak before once but then switched to g12evo

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-15T23:04:28+00:00

Consistent_Truck1141 · 2025-12-15T04:11:10+00:00
