Question 1

Coolant leaks from the water pump/thermostat housing (EA211)

Accepted Answer

The plastic water pump and thermostat housing module on EA211 petrol engines (1.0 TSI, 1.4 TSI, 1.5 TSI) commonly leaks, leaving pink crystallised coolant around the housing, a dropping coolant level and a coolant warning.

Question 2

Hesitation and juddering when pulling away (1.0 TSI)

Accepted Answer

The 1.0 TSI can hesitate or judder when pulling away from low speed, particularly from cold or with the stop-start active. Throttle response is improved by software updates; a worn clutch or DSG adaptation can make it worse.
