Re: Coolant leak strikes again... good dealer experience so far –

Well... update on this. Car with dealer for 2 days last week to fix (had lovely new Q7 50TDI loaner). After I got it back the coolant was low again but its been back in couple of times to check and top it up - tested and confirmed no leak it was just residual air in the system working its way out (n.b. quite a lot, most of the reservoir). Seems OK now.
However when they put the engine back together there was an error re-seating a couple of the heat plugs so after a cold start I got a CEL light, but dealer fixed immediately when I told them. Very apologetic and got free tank of fuel out of it for the hassle. Also the dealer was really helpful as topped up coolant and checked car for me after business hours on bank holiday weekend when they should have already closed - can’t fault their customer service.
The cost would have been eye-watering though, full price would have been north of £1600 had I not had the extended warranty. Glad I took that out.
