Why must my coolant be flushed?
Have been told by very garage that coolant in my car needs to be flushed out and replaced. I have the car one year and it’s a 151. It’ll cost €300+. Is this a fault with car. Why did this never happen with me before Driving VW cars all my life.
Our answer:
Hi Monica,
That price sounds excessive just to flush out the coolant and replace it, but it does not mean there is a fault with the car. All manufacturers recommend replacing the coolant every few years (the exact interval varies by car), though not all owners stick to that...
