Hi.
I purchased 2007 T2 Touareg V6 FSI.
This car is going back to dealer tomorrow for steering wheel column repair as it does not fully rise as it is supposed to.
And now I found another issue that there is a leaking found from engine block.
This wasn't the draining from Aircon as the leaking was a bit of brownish color (like engine oil) and it left stain on the surface where the car was parked.
The fluid is not like an oil but still leaves a bit of brown stain..
I had a look at the bottom of the engine and tried to find where this leaking was coming from.
The water was dripping from behind of pulley as attached picture.
Is this water pump failure?
The leaking happens intermittently and I found the coolant level is lower than minimum level so I was worried if this is water pump failure.
I talked to my mechanic friend about the symptom on the phone and he says a high chance of water pump leaking by the location of leaking.
I still have 3 months warranty left on this car as second hand but am kinda stressed how I am gonna deal with the dealer.
Can anyone please advise if this is water pump failure and how to deal with dealer to get this fixed under warranty?
Thanks in advance.
