| I drive a 2003 Volkswagen Passat.
| |
| | "cooling system pressure test" this will
|

| |
| | determine if there is a coolant leak in
|
| and about 20 minutes into the trip the car
| |
| | the system. You want to check the coolant
|
| said it was overheating. The coolant level
| |

| |
| | also cause lack of circulation, so make
|
| baffled.Any ideas? Hi there, The VERY

|
| first thing that needs to be done is a
