    Good news.

    Is it a VW or is it just an Avis/Hertz general issue?

    Hey tigger, it's just a Hertz general issue!
    I was hoping maybe for a Passat.....no cigar!

    Hi all,
    I just bumped my old thread to post an update and a question

    It's been about 3 weeks since I got my car back after 2 weeks of waiting for a thermostat. Apparently 2 thermostats were changed and one had to come from Germany! So far the Tig has been running fine within the normal coolant temperature range.

    About a week ago, and here's my question, I've been hearing a low buzzing sound coming from the right side of the engine, near the headlight, which stays on for about 5 minutes after the engine is switched off (even on short trips). I believe it's the aux electric water pump, but should it always be on? Maybe it has always been running in the background and I haven't noticed it before.

    My wife has a MY11 Polo and I don't hear anything with hers. Am I just being paranoid!

    Cheers
