I just hit 50K after returning from SA. I gave the van a check over and noticed that my coolant is now below minimum.
No emulsion at the oil cap or the dip stick. I cannot see any tell tale leak at the water pump. No alarm in the dash - yet.
I'm thinking that I'll get the water pump replaced as a precaution. I intend to keep this van for a very long time. I just had a quote for $640 to fit a Kolbenschmidt pump. This appears a bit heavy.
I'll get the cooling system pressure checked. I guess a head/gasket failure is the worst possible case.
The joys of VW ownership.
